	Vintage Guitar® magazine : Fretprint Of The Month
		Oscar Moore’s guitar licks are among the most memorable in Americana, though his name may not draw knowing nods from the listeners of today.
		Moore’s innovations fill the gap in the crucial period beginning with the death of Christian in 1942 and the emergence of new players like Barney Kessel, Johnny Smith, and Tal Farlow in the late ’40s and early ’50s, though he was not part of that particular stream.
		Moore’s blue-toned melodic bent is maintained through the end of the phrase with greater emphasis on the F# and C notes in the riff-like figures of bars 3 and 4.

	Michael Moore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moore is married to Kathleen Glynn (born April 10, 1958 in Flint).
		Moore also attended the 2004 Republican National Convention, where he was criticized in a speech by Senator John McCain as "a disingenuous film-maker".
		However, Moore's supporters have described these attacks as hypocritical, pointing out that public figures of Moore's stature (including many of his critics) are often paid similar honorariums by sponsors for their appearances and very few of them are on record as having donated the money to the causes they support [13].

		Oscar Moore was born in Austin, Texas in 1916 and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona.
		Oscar was shown the rudiments of guitar playing by a Mexican named Carl Gomez but was otherwise self taught.

		The standard reason to discount political speeches from Hollywood celebs, after all, is that we don't give a crap about their political thoughts: their job is to stand up, look pretty, collect their $25 million and give US and People something to write about.
		The first is that — and this is a characteristic flaw of Moore's movies — it was a shrill harangue that would make a person ashamed even for agreeing with it.
		Moore often casts himself as a populist, and sometimes he's even convincing.

		Moore, who won for his anti-gun film Bowling for Columbine, said to loud and prolonged boos and cheers: "We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president."

	Truth about Bowling for Columbine
		Moore cuts it after "I said to the Mayor" and attaches a sentence from the end of the next paragraph: "As Americans, we're free to travel wherever we want in our broad land." He hides the deletion by cutting to footage of protestors and a photo of the Mayor before going back and showing Heston.
		Moore's creative skills are used to convince the viewer that things happened which did not and that a truthful man is a liar when he denies them.
		Moore does not directly state that Heston is a racist--he is the master of creating the false impression --but reviewers come away saying "Heston looks like an idiot, and a racist one at that" Source.

	Wired News: Documenting Moore's Oscar Chances
		But a quirky rule that declares ineligible any documentary distributed on television or the Internet during the nine months after its theatrical release could leave some gaps in the potential nominees.
		The rule reads in part: "Any documentary which is transmitted anywhere in the world in any version as a television or Internet program within this period will automatically be disqualified from award eligibility." Taken literally, any download -- legal or illegal -- during that time period would seem to disqualify a documentary.

		Filmmaker Michael Moore, who won his best documentary Oscar for "Bowling for Columbine," gave perhaps the most controversial speech at the Academy Awards since Vanessa Redgrave won best supporting actress for her role in "Julia" in 1978 and gave a pro-Palestine speech.
		Moore said he talked to his fellow documentary nominees before the show and warned them that he would say something controversial about President Bush if they joined him on stage.
		What Moore didn't say backstage is that he rehearsed this acceptance speech a bit by saying almost the same thing at the acceptance speech he gave at the Independent Spirit Awards the day before when he won the award for a much smaller audience.
