We Won't Get Fooled Again. "Michael Moore has been making some claims � mentioning me by name - which I believe distort the truth .. WGFA is not an unconditionally anti-war song, or a song for or against revolution. It actually questions the heart of democracy: we vote heartily for leaders who we subsequently always seem to find wanting. (WGFA is a song sung by a fictional character from my 1971 script called LIFEHOUSE. The character is someone who is frightened by the slick way in which truth can be twisted by clever politicians and revolutionaries alike) ..

I have nothing against Michael Moore personally .. but I greatly resent being bullied and slurred by him in interviews just because he didn�t get what he wanted from me. It seems to me that this aspect of his nature is not unlike that of the powerful and wilful man at the centre of his new documentary .. ".
