Yes, it’s really Richard Wayne Van Dyke (born 12/13/1925) in this video, singing and dancing his way back into our hearts with chill rockers Coldplay and his extended family urging him on.
On Tuesday of this week, Van Dyke was forced to evacuate his home as it lay in the path of a rampaging California conflagration. He was not injured in the tumult.
[East Portland Blog, the members of Coldplay, and Van Dyke fans everywhere, are sending up prayers for the safe return of Bobo, DVD’s prodigal cat, who made a dangerous dash for independence just when the evac party commenced.]
