@UncleFunkbeard Listening to the playlist from yesterday,father2son hold on to your dreams I haven’t heard yet,what a sound!!! Great voice,great guitar,ALL AROUND FANTASTIC SONG!!!

@200PoundsOfSin Lol correct!

@UncleFunkbeard At the rainbows end. ;)

Crazy as a rocket, nothin' in my pocket. Where do I keep it? #IYKYK

@AllTheCoolBands Thank you!

@UncleFunkbeard Deep cut, son. Deeeeeeeep cut.

My #IWantMyNAS Thursday pick and recipient of an open invitation to the Indie Music Showcase is “Carefree” by @Ssidephilosophy. On the surface, a chill, catchy alt pop tune - but the lyrics are poetry. open.spotify.com/track/5t05S26G… @NAS_Spotlight @edeagle89 @MrOddzo

@ImpossibleMule I agree wholeheartedly, but now I kinda want to see Elvis doing gangsta rap,

What’s more. Not only do I think asking for a Dub version of a popular musical act of yore is exploitative, but it reveals the lack of imagination of the prompter. “I literally myself have nothing to offer, so I’ll ask AI to turn Elvis into gangsta rap.”

The Indie Music Showcase: it's crispy. twitch.tv/unclefunkbeard

@ReEvoluCafeOrch Close enough for a GIF - but @SeanFaust beat you to the answer by seconds!

You say, "neat-o," check your libido, and do what? #IYKYK

@SeanFaust Lol correct and first, and bonus points for a great GIF!

@UncleFunkbeard Roll to church in my new tuxedo

Which golden age actor/actress would you like to see in movies today?

@landofthe80s River Raid was the only one I didn't totally suck at back in the day.

80s video game enthusiasts know this one...one of my favorites growing up.

@billwsimpson Mine, too! Glad I got to hear them live once.

@UncleFunkbeard I was there too. It was absolutely incredible from start to finish. My first time seeing them.

I saw the Eagles in Nashville last night. It was amazing and humbling to watch these men play to a packed stadium - 2 hours of nothing but hits they had written over 50 years together. Any other band would have closed with Hotel California as a big finish - they OPENED with it. That's how strong their lineup was. Real musicians rehearse. They perform. They master their instruments and their showmanship. They write lyrics and melodies that have generational staying power and can get an audience of tens of thousands of people singing along. Truly inspirational.

The @NAS_Spotlight: it's like a support group for people addicted to making independent music. And it's free. #StopPayola

@CrookedSpine39 So glad you enjoyed it! They've been on the showcase a few times. Very talented. Tagging @JamesGayle7059 to feel the love.

@nclem76469 If you are trying to submit a song to the Indie Music Showcase, you have to do so when submissions are open and follow the guidelines. Watch for my pinned tweet Monday.

@UncleFunkbeard That’s how the story goes 2.m4a by The Nick Clemons Band on #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/rksAn99LelkBqk…
