Heart’s Nancy Wilson Says It’s ‘Embarrassing’ to Call Herself an American


Nancy Wilson of Heart compared the "dirty politics" of the U.S. during the Vietnam War to today, noting her sentiments haven't changed much since.

Heart ’s Nancy Wilson hasn’t minced her words when it comes to the state of the world, claiming she feels “embarrassed” to call herself an American in this day and age. In the interview, Wilson noted that the band’s third single, 1975’s “Crazy on You,” was written as a critical response to the Vietnam War, though the lyrics have found themselves relevant once again. However, with reference to an infamous quote from President Donald Trump, Wilson conceded the track “is even more relevant in the salacious billionaire culture with the grab-them-by-the-(expletive) mentality.”
