Your Monday Moment of "Pardon Me, But I'm Getting a Little Verklempt"

So the great Dick Van Dyke, who has made 99 revolutions around the Sun to date, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (who hasn't), have made a video together.

I'm sorry, but that's about the most touching thing I've ever seen.

Hell, I even like the song (which is from Coldplay's latest album), and I'm not by any stretch of the imagination a fan of the group.

But hey -- I really hope both Dick and yours truly are around for his next birthday.

Just to hear those guys' next collaboration, of course. 😎

this is great

I am reminded of a couple of things

a/Rafferty Family and Barbara Dickson at Gerry Rafferty tribute concert singing "Family Tree"

b/John Stewart and Bernie Sanders talking - not just one old guy, but two - trigger warning - not music, but politics, if you want to avoid that

Did you happen to see Dick and Chris on Jimmy Kimmel? Chris Martin told a sweet and hilarious story that you should try and dial up.

And by the way, I have never been a fan of Coldplay, maybe a song or two here and there. But I will love Chris Martin forever for this.
