    SQUEEZE is unrelated to 242-16-9604 just as GLENN M. TilBROOK is unrelated to “Cooley High” star GLYNN RUSSELL TurMAN; the film was released JUNE 25, 1975–34 years to the day before pop star Michael Jackson died & rocker George Michael turned 46. DonZELL is not fmr. U.S. Senator ZELL MILLer (D-GA), born 2/25/32 and turned 54 the day football QB Pat White was born in Daphne, AL. He’s also not football’s GLYN CURT MILburn (b. 2/19/71)–a StanFORD teammate of Newark, NJ mayor Cory Booker

    I couldn’t help but notice: GLENN Martin TilBROOK was born AUG. 31, 1957 or on the 4th birthday of O.J. SIMPSON prosecutor MarCIA RachEL Clark. While TilBROOK collaborated professionally with CHRISTOPHER HENRY DifFORD in SQUEEZE, CLARK’s professional “CHRIS D” parter: CHRISTOPHER ALLEN Darden (b. 4/7/56) in the prosecution of SIMPSON. An AUG. 31st brithday meansTilBROOK turned 48, Clark 52 on a momentous day for some (246-64-1175) but it has nothing to do with .75 cent high school french fries

    This video is a beautiful tribute to the Belgian painter, and pioneer of surrealism, Rene Magrite (a painting of his was also used by Styx for their Grand Illusion album cover). He is my favorite painter and the music of Squeeze is certainly more fitting than Styx’s. [The bendy instruments/clocks reference Salvadore Dali.]

    Wow, is Julian wearing makeup?!? Was the clock thing a nod to Chaplin?

    LOL @ Paladin696969….i’m goin’ on 26 and i feel sad of the remembrance of the 80’s, especially 1987. Elementary, family trips, B. Days, hell, even gettin’ dressed before Elementary School in the mornings seems so sad to remember simply because it was cool to be a kid in the 80’s. O, and this song along w/ MTV, when they had videos every hour on the hour. YAY 80’s childhood : )
