Not so crazy on you.
Nancy Wilson of the popular rock band Heart has come under fire for claiming it’s “more embarrassing than ever” to be an American.
The “Barracuda” singer, 71, made the controversial claim during an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel earlier this month, but it finally started making waves on X Monday, March 24.
“We were kind of embarrassed at that time to call ourselves American because of the dirty politics of the Vietnam War,” she said while discussing the band’s hit 1975 song “Crazy on You.”
“To be as subtle as possible,” she added, “it’s more embarrassing now.”
But Wilson’s remarks were not taken lightly, and both fans and critics slammed the wealthy singer for her contentious comments about the country.
“Says the millionaire who made TONS of dough playing music,” one X user scoffed. “I just can’t with these people right now.”
“The bitch is welcome to find a more suitable country for her needs,” another angry critic wrote. “I’m willing to wager on the makeup of the country should she be a woman of her convictions.”
“Stop playing 80’s Heart music and it’s not as embarrassing,” a third X user quipped.
“It’s embarrassing to be a Heart fan now,” added another former backer of the band.
Others instructed Wilson to ditch the US if she’s that embarassed.
“Then leave you won’t be missed,” one person remarked. “Move i guess,” commented a second.
Elsewhere in the interview, Wilson discussed the band’s 1977 song “Barracuda” and how the tune is about “a real sleazeball with a satin jacket” who “wanted to make more money out of the sexy chicks in Heart” throughout the group’s career.
She added that “Barracuda,” in particular, “is even more relevant in the salacious billionaire culture with the grab-them-by-the-p—y mentality.”
“I think for women in the culture the pendulum will come back again, and there’ll be another renaissance in the arts to push back against the oppression of the cranky old rich white guys,” Wilson said.
“I hope I am alive to see that next revolution,” she added.
The Heart guitarist’s controversial interview – and the subsequent backlash – comes months after her older sister and bandmate, Ann Wilson, 74, announced she finished chemotherapy and was ready to continue touring.
“I’m doing absolutely fine now but it’s been, to put it mildly, a lot,” Ann said in September. “Chemo is no joke.”
“It takes a lot out of a person,” she continued. “And then there’s that two weeks of waiting around for test results, a form of mental torture. For anyone who’s been through that, I empathize big time.”
The sisters were forced to postpone a Heart tour last summer in the wake of Ann’s cancer diagnosis. They are now back on the road and their next concert is scheduled for Monday night in Manitoba, Canada.
