Dick Van Dyke at 99 is the oldest living birthday we've ever mentioned. He qualifies as a charting artist due to Mary Poppins & Mary Poppins Returns soundtracks.

He was in the news twice this last week, firstly for appearing with Coldplay...

“All the loves in the strip are unrequited; all the baseball games are lost; all the test scores are D-minuses; The Great Pumpkin never comes; and the football is always pulled away.”

— Charles M. Schulz (1922–2000)

“And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.

"So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.”
