Moe Tucker

When she was asked to join the Velvet Underground, Tucker had dropped out of Ithaca College and was working for IBM as a keypunch operator.

Is every famous goddamned person problematic?

Personal life

Tucker was married in the early 1970s, and divorced some time in the early 1980s. She has five children: Kerry, Keith, Austen, Kate, and Richard. Tucker lives in Douglas, Georgia, where she raised her family. In a 2010 interview, she said she had ceased making music several years prior, saying caring for her grandson was a “full-time job”.

In April 2009, Tucker gave an interview at a Tea Party rally in Tifton, Georgia, to a WALB NBC news crew. She voiced support for the Tea Party movement and said she was “furious about the way we’re being led towards socialism”. On the official “Tea Party Patriots” website, Tucker stated: “I have come to believe (not just wonder) that Obama’s plan is to destroy America from within.”
