    go on (about somebody/something)
    (informal) to talk about somebody/something for a long time, especially in a boring or complaining way -- He went on and on about how poor he was. She does go on sometimes!

    Ich sehe bei "go on about" eher die ermüdende Länge der Ausführungen im Fokus. "Herziehen" ist nicht unbedingt dasselbe, wobei es in deinem Beispiel ganz gut passt.
