Moore's representation of the working class

[Retail Worker]

Michael Moore gave one or two thousand dollars, I
forget which, to the pro-union employees of the
Borders store in Philadelphia where he spoke and did
some filming for his movie "The Big One". They used it
to print and distribute a newsletter. As I recall,
when he tours the country filming or promoting his
books, he donates a good portion of his proceeds to
local groups.

I'm not familiar with his TV programs, but I did see
him speak at the Webzine 2001 event at CBGB's last
summer. From that talk I'd say Kelley's on the right
track, and Moore's "affectations" are probably a
response to the "sneers" -- at one point in his very
entertaining presentation, he said, referring to his
corporate nemeses, "What else can they do to me?"

He was also totally surprised that the organizers of
the event had (a little) money for him...
