Nancy Wilson earned her fame singing for 70s rock band Heart, however, she was slapped with a harsh dose of reality after claiming that she is “embarrassed” to be an American in a recent interview.
The 71-year-old rocker said during an interview with the Milwaukee Sentinel, “We were kind of embarrassed at that time to call ourselves American because of the dirty politics of the Vietnam War.” As if that wasn’t bad enough, Wilson added, “To be as subtle as possible, it’s more embarrassing now.”
However, fans of the former rock star did not agree with her anti-American sentiment and told her she can leave if she is embarrassed.
One fan shot back that it is “embarrassing to be a Heart fan now.”
It's embarrassing to be a Heart fan now.

Another quipped, “Says the millionaire who made TONS of dough playing music. I just can’t with these people right now.”
Many others joined in with comments like, “I hope Nancy Wilson leaves. What a disgusting pos. I used to love Heart, but I will never listen to them again,” and “Nancy has enough money where she is free to pick another country and go there. Maybe she can get a flat next to Rosie O’Donnell.”
In addition to being embarrassed to be American, Wilson dogged on “old rich white guys.” She argued that women have lost their momentum in today’s culture and declared, “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.”
The “Barracuda” singer failed to comment on numerous stars in today’s culture are women, or how women have taken over half of the top ten albums in the United States as of March 22.
