What's so bad with "Rip Van Winkle"?

I saw that on tv recently. Very cool. I'd love to be in a restaurant and hear him singing.

THE DUSTBOWL REVIVAL - FEATURING D1CK VAN D-KE - "NEVER HAD TO GO"

"Published on May 20, 2015

We had the luck and the privilege to share the first single "Never Had To Go" from our 2015 release With A Lampshade On with the man himself, D1ck Van D-ke and his lovely wife Arlene. They said come over and let's do a video. So we did. What a dreamy guy. At 89, he really can still dance like he's in Mary Poppins!"

There is another video attached to this one of his wife Arlene belly dancing and he joins in.  Tres amusant!

Since I can't say his name, I'll simply say that I've loved that man since his show with Mary Tyler Moore and then later, Diagnosis, Murder.  He is a natural in all things entertaining.  Apparently, his memory and timing are still very good.

Oh, no!  Did they bring back the ridiculous elementary school censorship tool? Can we honestly not say the name ****** Van ****** now?

EDIT: It's true. I'm super disappointed, @Keyai. Is there anything that can be done about this? The forum itself is once again insisting on treating us like children. That's the man's actual name and the forum software has decided that it's a bunch of dirty words. This is incredibly frustrating and, frankly, an embarrassment. We all deserve better.

Hi @ChynnaBlue

I understand your frustration with the words that are filtered. Unfortunately the automated tool does not have the capability to understand the context of a word. I will review the list of words that are being filtered to see if we are being too conservative with the list. I hope you can understand why we would block certain words from being permitted. My apologies to you for the frustration this is causing.
