A Chat With Michael Express Yourselves!

Michael Musto is an American journalist who has maintained a prevalent presence in entertainment-related publications, as well as on websites and television shows. Musto is a former columnist for The Village Voice, where he wrote the La Dolce Musto column of gossip, nightlife, reviews, interviews, and political observations. He is the author of the books Downtown and Manhattan on the Rocks, as well as a compilation of selected columns published as La Dolce Musto. His subsequent collection, Fork on the Left, Knife in the Back, was published in 2011.

Musto is starring in Eric Rivas’ remake of his cult-classic film, “Japanese Borscht,” which premieres in New York City at Anthology Film Archives (32 2nd Ave) on October 5 at 8 pm. Musto plays a gay Mafioso named Uncle. According to Musto, “He’s barbaric — he’s a mobster — and his sexuality proves that some very rotten people can be gay.”

JRK: Before we get into the interview can you tell readers a bit about Michael Musto, where you are from and all that good introductory stuff?

MM: I was born in NYC, raised in Brooklyn, went to Columbia, and have been a diehard New Yorker my whole life. I have always pursued both journalism and entertainment, so I’ve become a sort of columnist/personality who can review a play as well as appear in a movie or a duets show. For 29 years, I wrote the “La Dolce Musto” nightlife/show biz column in the Village Voice and was given great freedom to explore my voice and break boundaries with it. Today, I write a weekly column for NewNowNext.com and am involved in many other exciting projects as well.
