Fresh Prince of Bel Air Reunion 2017


Finally, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion We All Needed


Nostalgia alert!

The cast of beloved 90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunited on Monday for a get-together that will surely have everyone singing, "Now this is a story all about how..."

Alfonso Ribeiro shared the group snapshot featuring Tatyana AliKaryn ParsonsDaphne Maxwell Reid and Joseph Marcell to his Instagram, which he captioned, "Always amazing to spend an afternoon with my Fresh Prince family. Wishing that James Averywas still with us to make this complete."
Avery, who played Will's no-nonsense Uncle Phil on the show, passed away in 2014. 

And while it's been more than a decade since Fresh Prince ended its wildly popular six-season run, fans are still holding out for a revival. 

When E! News caught up with the show's titular star last year, he was quick to shut down speculation that a reboot was in the works. "I don't think ever, like pretty close to when hell freezes over," Smith shared. "Like we're going to leave that one alone."
Two years prior, Alfonso explained why the cast has opted out of any sort of official reunion in honor of Avery's legacy on the show. 

"Since the passing of my favorite dad in the world, ever on TV, James Avery passed, the chances of a Fresh Prince coming back together will not happen," he told E! News. "I don't think we feel as a cast that we would do even our fans justice. We all felt like he was the centerpiece or the nucleus of that show. Without him, it just doesn't work. So even if the whole cast comes to support me on the show, we're not looking for that to happen. And that's OK." 



Guess this great photo of the cast will have to do!

Legendary Rock and Roll star & pioneer Chuck Berry dies aged 90


Rock and roll legend Chuck Berry dies aged 90


Chuck Berry, the guitarist and songwriter recognised as one of the fathers of rock 'n' roll, has died aged 90.
Berry's seven-decade career boasted a string of hits, including classics Roll Over Beethoven and Johnny B. Goode.
He received a lifetime achievement Grammy in 1984 and was among the first inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
His death was confirmed by police in the US state of Missouri.
The singer was found unresponsive at 12:40 local time (17:40 GMT) on Saturday, St Charles County police said in a statement. He could not be revived and was pronounced dead at 13:26.

"The St. Charles County Police Department sadly confirms the death of Charles Edward Anderson Berry Sr., better known as legendary musician Chuck Berry," it said.

High-profile musicians were quick to pay tribute to Berry's talent and influence.
Motown legends The Jacksons tweeted: "Chuck Berry merged blues & swing into the phenomenon of early rock'n'roll. In music, he cast one of the longest shadows. Thank You Chuck."
Singer-songwriter Huey Lewis described him as "maybe the most important figure in all of rock and roll".
"His music and influence will last forever," he added.
Beatles drummer Ringo Starr quoted one of Berry's own lyrics on Twitter, saying: "Just let me hear some of that rock 'n' roll music any old way you use it."
"I am playing I'm talking about you," he wrote.

Both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones covered Berry's songs, as did The Beach Boys and scores of other acts - including Elvis.
"If you tried to give rock 'n' roll another name," John Lennon once said, "you might call it 'Chuck Berry'."
Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones said that Berry "lit up our teenage years and blew life into our dreams".
Singer Bruce Springsteen called him "a giant for the ages".

The novelist Stephen King noted that Berry had a long life for a consummate rock'n'roller, tweeting: "Chuck Berry died. This breaks my heart, but 90 years old ain't bad for rock and roll. Johnny B. Goode forever."
Berry was born in St Louis, Missouri, in 1926, and had his first hit, Maybellene, in 1955.
He went on to score a succession of hits that were aimed at adolescent audiences, transcending the colour bar that plagued many contemporary black artists.
Last year, he announced he would be releasing his first album in nearly four decades. He dedicated it to his wife of 68 years, Themetta "Toddy".
The album, titled Chuck, was recorded in St Louis, Missouri. It will be released later this year, though a date has not been set.

Chuck Berry: Seven of the king of rock 'n' roll's best songs

"There's only one true king of rock 'n' roll," said Stevie Wonder. "His name is Chuck Berry."
The Chicago bluesman, who has died aged 90, basically invented rock.
Sure, there were other contributors: Bill Haley's northern band rock 'n'roll; Pat Boone and his New Orleans dance blues; and Berry's label mate at Chess Records, Bo Diddley.
But no-one else shaped the instrumental voice and lyrical attitude of rock like Chuck. His recordings were lean, modern and thrilling. In the words of pop critic Bob Stanley, "they sounded like the tail fins on Cadillacs".

He was the first to admit he drew inspiration from days of old. "There is really nothing new under the sun," he said in the mid-1980s tribute film Hail, Hail Rock 'n' Roll - citing the likes of T-Bone Walker and Charlie Christian as his forebears.
Even the famous "Chuck Berry guitar riff", which opened hits like Maybellene and Johnny B. Goode, was lifted - by his own admission - from a Louis Jordan record.
What he did with those influences, though, was something else. He gave country the bite of the blues, writing defiant odes to cars and girls at a time when rock lyrics were all Tutti Frutti and A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop.
As Brian Wilson said, he wrote "all of the great songs and came up with all the rock and roll beats".
"He laid down the law," added Eric Clapton.
Here are seven of his most influential songs.

MAYBELLENE (1955)
Chuck's first single sounded like nothing that had ever come before - and gave him a top five hit in the US a full year before Elvis made his debut.
It was based on Ida Red, a 1938 hit for Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys - but was nowhere near as polite.
Chuck adds a thunderous rhythm section and a scuzzed up guitar, while his lyrics lived out a teenagers' fast-car fantasy (even though he was in his mid-20s when he wrote it).
"As I was motorvatin' over the hill, I saw Maybellene in a Coupe-de-ville / Cadillac rollin' on the open road / Tryin' to outrun my V-8 Ford."
Disc jockeys Alan Freed and Russ Fratto were "encouraged" to play the song - by being credited as co-writers - and a career was born.

ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN (1956)
"I wanted to play the blues," Chuck once told Rolling Stone. "But I wasn't blue enough. We always had food on the table."
So he channelled his other frustrations into music. Roll Over Beethoven, widely believed to be a manifesto for rock and roll music, was in fact an affectionate dig at his sister, Lucy, who spent so much time at the family piano he couldn't get a look in.

Still, the swagger and the message - that Beethoven and Tchaikovsky had been rendered redundant by the sheer power of Chuck and his cherry-red Gibson - resonated with musicians all over the world.
The song has subsequently been covered by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, ELO and even Iron Maiden.

SCHOOL DAY (1957)
Most rock lyrics deal in generalities but Chuck had an obsessive eye for detail, in a way that spoke directly to his teenage audience. School Day is a perfect example - pinning down that awful, caged feeling of children waiting for the school bell to ring.
Berry was in his thirties by the time it was released but the memories still seem fresh.
"Back in the classroom, open your books," he sings. "Gee, but the teacher don't know how mean she looks."

BROWN EYED HANDSOME MAN (1956)
While most of his songs are carefree, cartwheeling teenage librettos, Brown Eyed Handsome Man takes a more political tone.
"Arrested on charges of unemployment / He was sittin' in the witness stand / The judge's wife called up the district attorney / She said, 'Free that brown-eyed man'."

Berry was inspired to write the song while he was touring through heavily black and Latino areas of California at the start of his career.
"What I didn't see, at least in the areas I was booked in, was too many blue eyes," he wrote in his 1987 autobiography.
"The auditoriums were predominantly filled with Hispanics and 'us'. But then I did see some unbelievable harmony among the mix, which got the idea of the song started."

YOU NEVER CAN TELL (1964)
Chuck's most danceable song, You Never Can Tell becomes slightly more sinister when you discover it was written after the musician's arrest for transporting a 14-year-old girl across a state boundary without her parents' consent.
"It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well," he sings over Jamie Johnson's rollicking piano riff. "You could see that Pierre really did love the mademoiselle.
"And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell / 'C'est la vie,' say the old folks. It goes to show you never can tell."

The song mounts a spirited protest, but Chuck was sentenced to three years in prison and by the time he was released in 1963, after 20 months, rock was being overtaken by the British R&B boom.

MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE (1959)
Featuring some of Chuck's best and most tender lyrics - he worked on it for more than a month - Memphis, Tennessee was inspired by the Muddy Waters' classic Long Distance Operator.
In the lyric, the star is pleading with a telephone operator to help him find a girl called Marie - explaining they have been "pulled apart" by her mother.
It is not until the final verse that you discover the girl is his six-year-old daughter, whose mother fled home, taking Marie with her.
In a devastating aside, he tells the operator: "Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye / With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye."

JOHNNY B. GOODE (1958)
Powered by the most memorable guitar intro in rock, Johnny B. Goode is a semi-autobiographical tale of a down-at-heels guitar player who ends up with his name in lights.
The writing of the song illustrates Chuck's ruthless commercial instinct: "The original words [were], of course, 'that little coloured boy could play'," he told Rolling Stone in 1972. "I changed it to 'country boy' - or else it wouldn't get on the radio."
Chuck's genius as an arranger is also on display on this song, one of the first ever singles to utilise overdubs - with Chuck playing his solo over the top of the original studio recording.
A stone cold classic, it has proved to be supremely adaptable - with cover versions by Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimi Hendrix, Buck Owens, Peter Tosh and the Grateful Dead.
As long as rock exists, someone, somewhere will be playing a version of this song. Just ask Marty McFly.

VIRAL VIDEOS: Children interrupt BBC News interview with their dad Professor Robert Kelly





Children interrupt BBC News interview with their dad





There was an unexpected distraction for Professor Robert Kelly when he was being interviewed live on BBC News about South Korea. 
But he managed to keep his composure and complete the interview successfully.





It reminds me of my favourite  BBC funny video of  Guy Goma mistakenly thought of us a pundit which even had a send up on hit comedy show The IT Crowd.

Guy Goma: BBC's best/worst interview?
