Ex Velvet Underground member Moe Tucker is a conservative

[@idicula1979]

Things that we really need like health care, things that we don't need a war in Iraq or Iran.

[@jhillst]

I can understand Moe's concern about government spending, but anyone who thinks our country is "being led toward socialism" needs a SERIOUS reality check.

[@isorokudono]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Whatever you say, I guess. 23 BILLION spent in Califonia TO GIVE ILLEAGL ALIENS HEALTHCARE SHCOOLING AND FOOD AND HOUSING......... Would be a MIRACLE if the did that for all the ACTUAL US CITIZENS who lost HOME LIFE AND FREEDOM IN 2008. But what do I know? You're a commie who hasn't ever read a SINGLE BOOK. :* BESSOS HONEY.

@@isorokudono Thanks for proving that you don't have a clue what socialism is....just like Moe.

how’s that inflation treating you?

Sounds like she was right to me, but then again it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see into the future.

"led to socialism?" Moe is a brilliant musician but she's living in a box... :-)

Um. 200 Trillion in the war on poverty and people are getting better wages under Trump than in the last 20 years.

Mo Tucker wouldn’t recognise socialism if they were introduced. She simply doesn’t know what it is and is merely repeating the nasty tropes of the Tea Party. What happened to you Mo?…too many drugs?

[@TroutMaskReplicaa]

how age can stab.

[@KingdomEnfilade]

shame on you moe! is this what happens when we get old? we support teabaggers?

[@dermotoblong]

it looks like her politics was worse than her drumming.

[@MydgetSubmarine]

Too much time spent living in Texas and watching Fox News, methinks.

[@howard5992]

actually in GA, but yes overexposed to the RW media echo chamber

[@EdinAmmar]

@Saakshe everyone supports more freedom but when you get less govt you get less regulation which leads to busniesses and corporations doing things that dont benfit the people and leads to enviromental damage, low wages, and a society that is either rich or poor. It was govt regulation that helps protect it's citizens from the abuse of corporations.

[@xxxafterglow]

I highly doubt this is Moe Tucker of the VU. She did an interview a year later and in the footage, you can see that her hair doesn't stand up at the part and she talks with her mouth at a slant. She's a lot older than this woman.

[@caradonnelly8776]

I'm not American, can someone explain the tea party's beliefs? I'm not educated on the subject but aren't they against gay marriage? Lou was bisexual!

[@ParchedPinemarten]

"A University of Washington poll of 1,695 registered voters in the state of Washington reported that 73% of Tea Party supporters disapprove of Obama's policy of engaging with Muslim countries, 88% approve of the controversial Arizona immigration law enacted in 2010 that requires police to question people they suspect are illegal immigrants for proof of legal status, 54% feel that immigration is changing the culture in the U.S. for the worse, 82% do not believe that gay and lesbian couples should have the legal right to marry, and that about 52% believe that "[c]ompared to the size of the group, lesbians and gays have too much political power". Just to clarify, being against gay marriage doesn't make you homophobic. There is a rational position to take on it.

[@caradonnelly8776]

Parched Pinemarten Thanks. I'm not sure how I feel about her, now.

[@ParchedPinemarten]

lizzy grant No problem. I share a lot of the same views as Moe, so I can see where she's coming from. However, I also know how it feels to be politically different to a favourite musician. Don't let their personal views affect your relationship with the music, presuming that's how you got here.

[@gary_comenas]

Yes, they are against gay marriage.

[@ariellogical8813]

GarycomUK No they aren't. The Tea Party is libertarian (I.e do as you please). Do a little research, Brit.

[@oldmanmorgan]

Gee, I wonder how the Velvet Revolution got its name.

[@almacenesparis_]

[@happytree68]

How do we know this is her? I have a strong feeling it isn't; Maureen Tucker probably isn't that uncommon of a name...especially with people of her age. Also I have a feeling that anyone who spent so much time in the Factory scene would find the Tea Party-ers abhorrent to nature (like they are).

[@AsAngelsSing]

Exactly!

[@Malkmusianful]

@dermotoblong because we all know that her drumming ruined VU/Nico amirite I dunno. I've heard worse drummers than Moe.

[@thoban1724]

way to go Mo!

[@pibroch]

Why would anyone necessarily expect a musician to be politically sophisticated or know how the country is run? If you read her interview published in riverfronttimes she says a lot about what the ubiquitous "they" should be doing lol ;- )

[@wildnites558]

Excellent, another rocker who sees the light! The government that gives you freedom, is the very same government that can take it away at it's discretion.

[@nicholaschristiaan8061]

Yes, but that's arguing reductio ad absurdum. You could say the same thing about laws. Law takes away our freedoms - but there hasn't been a successful self-governing, lawless society yet.

I am a libertarian and I think the tea parties are GREAT. The Republicans forgot who they were and became Big Government - Big Spenders - Big Failures. Libertarian Motto: More Freedom - Less Government.

[@TonyCook2012]

Moe is a rock. her concern is validated by obamas "transparent" political stances. what have you done with your life? calling people names who you disagree with? liberals just cant stand it when they dont get their hero on board with every sheepish idea they follow blindly. got news for ya.. Lou is a conservative too.
