Description As Books Here Comes Trouble
"I had an unusually large-sized head, though this was not uncommon for a baby in the Midwest. The craniums in our part of the country were designed to leave a little extra room for the brain to grow in case one day we found ourselves exposed to something we didn't understand, like a foreign language, or a salad."Michael Moore-Oscar-winning filmmaker, bestselling author, the nation's unofficial provocateur laureate-is back, this time taking on an entirely new role, that of his own meta-Forest Gump.
Breaking the autobiographical mode, he presents twenty-four far-ranging, irreverent, and stranger-than-fiction vignettes from his own early life. One moment he's an eleven-year-old boy lost in the Senate and found by Bobby Kennedy; and in the next, he's inside the Bitburg cemetery with a dazed and confused Ronald Reagan. Fast-forwarding to 2003, he stuns the world by uttering the words "We live in fictitious times . . . with a fictitious president" in place of the expected "I'd like to thank the Academy."
And none of that even comes close to the night the friendly priest at the seminary decides to show him how to perform his own exorcism.
Capturing the zeitgeist of the past fifty years, yet deeply personal and unflinchingly honest, Here Comes Trouble takes readers on an unforgettable, take-no-prisoners ride through the life and times of Michael Moore. No one will come away from this book without a sense of surprise about the Michael Moore most of us didn't know. Alternately funny, eye-opening, and moving, it's a book he has been writing-and living-his entire life.

Twenty years ago if Michael Moore would have started a church I would have become a charter member. Everything about his tv show and documentaries resonated with me. I liked his shlumpy outfits and baseball hats. I liked his dogged pursuit of truth and conversational tone. I saw him speak at the university of MN 10 yrs ago and was energized by his outspoken contempt for the political corruption disabling our society.Then he lost me or I guess we lost him. His memoir opens with a recount of howI purchased this book after reading an excerpt published in The Guardian. I was shocked to discover how much Moore's life has been affected by his activism work -- or, to put it more bluntly, just how many people are eager to stop him from using his voice to raise awareness about rising inequality and the devastating effects that is having on American society.This is also a fascinating and fun-to-read biography. If you think that Michael Moore, the activist, was "born" when he decided to make
This book, along with Bill Maher's New, New Rules, makes me wonder if people understand sardonic humor. John Mortimer's Rumpole the Baily or Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice get sarcasm. It is the art of making fun of others and ourselves by creating caricutures of one's opponent and oneself. Moore, like Maher before him, can gloriously debunk and outwit most Republican pundits, but does he have to sound just as offensivly self righteous? It isn't entertainment, it isn't making a point, it just
Ordered from our wonderful Citrus County Library System, which owns several copies.This came in today too. Cool photo of Michael as a toddler on the front, and as a slim teen on the back. With OWS gaining momentum, this is very timely.
Michael Moore is a Gem One of a Kind!My introduction to Michael Moore was his second of now four works of nonfiction, Stupid White Men. He impressed me as a very brave and progressive man. He names names, holding nothing back in exposing the real truth about real bad guys. Since then Ive seen all his movies except the first, Roger & Me; which he at the last minute tried to change the name to Bad Day in Buick City. Ill have to see it! I had started to follow him on Twitter, MySpace and
Moore writes well. It goes down easy. But I didnt find a lot of it truly compelling. I also felt like he felt the need in the later stages of the book to make the events he writes about more important. Like the one at the resort in Mexico. It also didnt give me a lot of new insight into him, that you didnt already know if youve seen him in interviews or read some blog post. Still, a fun and easy read.
Here comes Trouble: Stories from my Life, by Michael Moore, Narrated by Michael Moore, Produced by Hachette Audio, Downloaded from Audible.com.Ive been a fan of Moores since Roger and me so I enjoyed this book very much-many laugh-out-loud moments! This book is Moore's most personal to date. A sort of anti-memoir, Moore breaks the autobiographical mode while he hilariously presents 20 far-ranging, irreverant vignettes from his own life. These vignettes range from being stuck on the Senate
