IMDb he seems to have more stuff in the pipeline. I can't help wondering if he needed NO's money though. I suspect he has a lot of wealthy Hollywood friends and possibly plenty of his own money. Yes i know I'm speculating...
Wow.
So I saw Michael H. Shamberg backstage at the New Order Roseland Ballroom show here in NYC last fall.
I don't know exactly what his medical issues are...
But he is in a giant wheelchair, he has to breathe through a tube, and he seems to be unable to move any part of this body, including his head.
Medical costs in the USA are ASTRONOMICAL, especially here in New York.
So, perhaps you should refrain from speculating on whether someone you have never met needs help with medical expenses or not.
I've never talked to Mr. Shamberg myself, but I know a few people who have known and worked with him for years, and by all accounts he is a really nice fellow, and I am sure New Order were sincere in wanting to help him out.
As for the Spinner interview....
I wasn't there, but it makes sense to me.
