Music: Unlikeliest Tea Party supporter? Velvet Underground’s Mo Tucker

  • Some are in disbelief that the former Velvet Underground drummer could support such views. We aren’t, really. Johnny Ramone was a conservative. Ted Nugent got his start playing guitar on a song about using psychedelic drugs. Why can’t Mo discount socialism? source

Music: Give up hope: The Velvet Underground aren’t gonna reunite

  • It’s not something that I can see happening on the basis of the past.
  • Velvet Underground bassist John Cale • On the possibility of the band reuniting. It’s something that won’t happen, among other reasons, because of the death of Sterling Morrison. “If I said that was something I was intrigued by,” he noted, “people would think I was cynical.” He noted that he only keeps in touch with surviving members Lou Reed and Maureen Tucker on a professional basis, because the Velvets are kind of a cash cow these days – something you can’t really say about them back in the day. source
