Sheryl Crow has some new thoughts on her old feud with Walmart
Sheryl Crow adopted her first son, Wyatt Steven, in 2007, and her second, Levi James, in June 2010. NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Sheryl Crow is weighing in on Walmart's decision to stop selling some ammunition and weapons 23 years after the store banned her records over a song lyric. "I was so happy to see Walmart take the stance that it did and how just forward-thinking and responsible it was to take that stance and to stop selling guns," Crow told BuzzFeed News. In 1996, the company banned her self-titled album from its stores because of a lyric in which she sings about the company selling guns. "Watch out sister / Watch out brother / Watch our children as they kill each other / With a gun they bought at the Walmart discount stores," Crow sang on "Love Is a Good Thing."
