“Being banned at Walmart was really hard because at that time that was where people bought physical records, and in my hometown that was the only place you could buy your record, but I wouldn’t change it,” she said. “It’s always good to point out what you see even if it’s not popular.”Since then, Crow and Walmart seem to have mended their fences.
at the time, “When it comes to business decisions, every day is a winding road and we’ve enjoyed many opportunities to work with Sheryl Crow over the last 20 years.”“I’m glad to see Walmart change. I would love to take total responsibility but that was a 20-year-old song,” she said. “At least they’ve made the stance that they have, and I hope other stores that sell guns will take that same stance.”David Mack is a deputy director of breaking news for BuzzFeed News and is based in New York.
