Ben Hamper, author of "The Rivethead" began writing articles on his days in the Truck & Bus plant in the early 80's in Michael Moore's alternative newspaper "The Flint Voice." He began writing hilarious album reviews. But Moore convinced him to write about his daily life in the shop. By 1986 he was a national figure, gracing the front page of the Wall Street Journal and being interviewed by national media. This, all from a few articles in The Flint Voice. He's just that good. 1986 was also the year Michael Moore was fired from Mother Jones (in part due to putting Hamper on the cover) and went about to making Roger & Me (which Hamper is featured in). The rest is history. "Rivethead" was slated to be made into a film but was shelved. We want to see this movie made!
