Dick Clark dead at 82

Dick Clark 2012 New Years Countdown 
-------------------------------------
In "Bowling for Columbine", Mochael Moore decided to fly out to California to ask Dick Clark what he thought about a system that forces single mothers to work two low-wage jobs to survive.

Moore tries to explain the context of his documentary, and he mentions the six-year-old that shot a six-year-old.  “Get in the car, Dave!” Clark yells at his associate, standing off camera to the left. “We’re really late.” 

 Moore keeps talking.  “But the mother of the kid works at Dick Clark’s Grill—” and Clark cuts him off.  “Forget it.  Close the door!” 

 “These people are forced to work—Dick—I want you to help me convince the Governor of Michigan— ”  But Clark yells, “Come on!  We’re going!” and the woman next to him in the backseat slides the van door closed.  Moore continues, “—that the welfare-to-work—these women are forced to work.”  The van drives off.  “They’ve got kids at home"
