Ask and Ye Shall Receive...

Last week I posted a bit about how I don't recognize a lot of today's 'culture' - music stars, movie stars, tv anything...

And then a few days later I found something that inadvertently introduced me to one of the stars of today's music (Coldplay an English band which started in the very late 1990's, heh, yea young!), by using a popular star from my early youth and before: Dick Van Dyke. Yep, he's still here, and he's gonna be 99 tomorrow!

The video was filmed at Van Dyke's house in Malibu. It's really neat to watch Van Dyke dance a bit, to see his enjoyment of life, hear his reflections on things, how happy and amazed he was at Coldplay's Chris Martin's talent and the song he wrote for Van Dyke, and more. Also, I learned about Coldplay and now I'm a fan!

So, unwittingly, I'm learning about 'modern' bands. Hahaha! Ok, back to listening to Adam Ant, the Ramones, Fiddler's Green, Dritte Wahl... (mumble, mumble, mumble).

Dritte Wahl: Ich hab da diesen Tich - Lyrics translated to English, and yea, they fit lots of people today.

Unfortunately this wasn't the only recent article in the news featuring Dick Van Dyke . He and his wife (and Cher amongst thousands of others) had to flee Malibu before a raging wild fire a few days ago.

And on goes life, eh? Thanks for reading this post. Here's the open thread - remember, everything is interesting if you dive deep enough, so tell us about where you're diving!
