This may come as a surprise to some, but Tucker Carlson is a huge ‘Deadhead’ — a fan of the rock band the Grateful Dead. If you know anything about the band, you know that its sound is rather unorthodox and usually encores other music genres like modal jazz, bluegrass, country, folk, blues, and even reggae. Probably not the music you’d expect a conservative Republican to groove to.
In a 2005 interview, Carlson admitted to having attended more than 50 of their concerts. Now that’s what we call a hardcore fan!
Views From the Left
Despite some of Carlson's extremely right-winged conservative views, there are some topics on which he actually sees eye-to-eye with liberals. He has been a long-time supporter of same-sex marriage, back when it was a very unpopular opinion, and way before it was law in the United States.
Even Tucker Carlson can see how absurd it is to tell two grown-ups who they should marry, and he does use his platform to share that message with his fellow conservatives. Bravo!
