Michael Moore doesn't look like a movie star. With his pinched face, his Pillsbury Doughboy silhouette and his air of befuddled skepticism, he looks as if he'd be lucky to land a night manager's job at a 7-Eleven.

(On the other side of the lectern, he has taught at the University of Michigan since 1973.) But something about conventional composing left him dissatisfied.
