Heart's Nancy Wilson Faces Backlash Over Critique of U.S. Politics

During Heart's ongoing North American tour, Nancy Wilson's remarks about being embarrassed to be American have reignited discussions about the band's cultural and political legacy.

Nancy Wilson criticized the current state of U.S. politics, describing it as 'more embarrassing than ever,' and linked her feelings to the Vietnam War era when Heart's 'Crazy on You' was written.
She highlighted the enduring relevance of Heart's 1977 hit 'Barracuda,' criticizing a 'salacious billionaire culture' and referencing Donald Trump's controversial comments about women.
Wilson expressed hope for a cultural renaissance to counter sexism and societal oppression, particularly from powerful figures she described as 'cranky old rich white guys.'
Her remarks have drawn significant backlash on social media, with critics questioning her patriotism and some fans expressing disappointment.
Heart continues their North American tour following Ann Wilson's recovery from cancer, with their next concert scheduled for March 25, 2025, in Winnipeg, Canada.
