Singer Nancy Wilson of the 70s rock band Heart is taking heat after claiming in an interview she is “embarrassed” to be an American.
The 71-year-old former rock star made her comment in an interview with the Milwaukee Sentinel this month and is now being struck with a backlash for her perceived hatred for her country.
Wilson equated the political climate today to that of the 1970s, saying, “We were kind of embarrassed at that time to call ourselves American because of the dirty politics of the Vietnam War.”
The Barracuda singer went on to say, “To be as subtle as possible, it’s more embarrassing now.”
Her proclamation did not sit well with many would be fans.
One fan struck back on social media and said it is “embarrassing to be a Heart fan now.”
