Moby, the biggest selling electronica artist in history, ponders the question: why did so many people hate my guts? Born Richard Melville Hall (so nicknamed because Moby Dick author Herman Melville's an ancestor) he grew up on food stamps in fancy Darien, CT, became an NYC DJ and released the huge-in-Europe dance single "Go" in 1991. Fame and fortune (and many threesomes) followed the release of 1999's Play, but happiness eluded him. His surreal new documentary Moby Doc documents his brutal childhood, his rise and fall from pop stardom, and the drugs and booze that nearly did him in. Host Andrew Goldman goes deep on sex, coke, sex-on-coke, artistic purity and what he learned from that Natalie Portman kerfuffle. Plus! That time he put his penis on Donald Trump.
