Ive always appreciated Michael Moore, whos been informed and angry about all the right things. Ive long praised him, and vice versa. When I first met him in the 90s, Moore gushed, Wow! Youre at a party for me! At another event some time later, Moore told me, I wish I could write your column. Its so funny. In 2015, I interviewed him at a promotional bash in his apartment and we still got along famously.
Knowing he was coming to Broadway this past July, I requested an interview. The person from the publicity firm was excited and happy to make it happen. They never got back to me. Fine, I got glossed over. But then, someone from the shows producing team contacted me to say they wanted me as a guest star one night. I was beside myself! It was a hell of an invitation, and my Broadway debut. (Ive only done talkbacks and also was the guest star for Oh, Hello when it was off-Broadway). I was alternately on a walker and in a wheelchair at the time, recuperating from surgery after a horrible injury, but I got all pumped about the opportunity and excitedly told friends as I readied my recovering leg.
The day of my appearance, I got a confirmation for the car pickup, but later that same day, the guy whod booked me texted that I was bumped. The show was running too long, he said. People were streaming out in disastrous fashion. The producers wanted the evening down to 90 minutes and it was going way well over two hours. They were playing around with the format by adding and subtracting things, and I was being subtracted that night.

Hehe. It’s pretty hilarious. :D
Michael Musto should have talked to Michael Moore's head butler or his upstairs head-maid.. They have the inside track with "mrbluecollar'... champion of the working class... they might have been able to pull a few strings.
ROFL. This is so far beyond bizarre. Hard to imagine caring about being in Michael Moore’s Broadway “show”..... hard to imagine not understanding that you look ridiculous whining about it in public..... hard to imagine being such a sniveling leftard twit that could publish this drivel.......
I never cared about this Michael Musto before and I certainly don’t care about him now. What a clown.
A Broadway show being reduced to 90 minutes?
Back-in-the-Day, Broadway Shows were expected to be at LEAST 2 hours, an Opera or Musical more like three...and don’t even TALK about anything by Richard Wagner.
People are being conditioned to have the attention span of a chipmunk.
That just tickled me pink...I was prepared to be sympathetic, then all I could think of was “Lay down with dogs...”
Hey, that is a slander against chipmunks...they have focus!
Even though they are focused on acorns, it is still focus!
Mea Culpa! LOL!
There was a series out a while back called “PLanet Earth” which had some beautiful cinematography, narrated by David Attenborough, and even though somewhat liberal in nature and outlook, I don’t think it damaged it much. (They made occasional references, but mostly spent time on the animals in question)
There was one scene where they showed an industrious chipmunk, gathering and stowing acorns, gathering and stowing acorns...gathering and stowing acorns, running up and down.
Another less industrious chipmunk was watching, and as soon as the industrious chipmunk left the hole, it scurried in and and began pilfering the stored acorns. It stuck its acorn filled face out to look around just as the suspicious chipmunk reappeared sensing there was something going on, and caught the criminal chipmunk with its face in the acorn jar, so to speak...and a chase ensued!
I know they are destructive rodents, but it is hard not to appreciate some aspects of them, and...who knew they had conservative and liberal chipmunks?
There’s something wrong with you if you’re praising moore in the first place.
Alert: the link goes to a gay-promoting site.
LOL, I will bet if that rodent dared to show his face, Penny would be right on him tout suite!
No pilfering from MY bowl! (great pic!)
She’s a Rescue.
BUT, the eternal Question is:
Who Rescued WHO?
They always rescue us.
Her coloration looks like she has a little Fila Brasileiro in her...
Just saw this guys picture. Musto, the only reason Moore was hanging out with you is because we all need that ugly friend to make us look better.
I’ll have to look that one up. “Fila Brasileiro”.
Those are BIG scary dogs, very dangerous. I knew a couple who had their house broken into at least five times in a bad neighborhood, so they got the dog. And it stopped.
My wife was very nervous visiting them, because that was a dog the size of a mastiff, but without the mild temperament. It would sit and look coldly at you...very intimidating. And boy, did that thing slobber. They actually had dried drool on the walls and ceilings.
Yours looks like a pup...but the striated coloration looks very similar to a Fila (in coat appearance only)!
Penny is American Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Retriever, and possible Boxer. She weighs 70 lbs but it is pure muscle!
I estimate she is about 7 and a half, which would be “middle-aged” in dog years, but she still has the constitution of a puppy. (we hike every day for miles in the woods)
She only slobbers when she is outside and gets real excited.
