Glenn Tillbrook

[JustJon]

I used to be a big Squeeze fan, but have never heard his solo stuff before, but he sounded fantastic.  My only complaint: He was on too short.

[Badinia]

<p>I really enjoyed it, too.&nbsp; It's possible that Glen had to be somewhere, I'm sure that Ron would have talked to him more if he coulda?</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Earl enjoyed it - to a degree.

[Badinia]

I'm sure he allowed Glen to wet his beak with a prize package.

i thought it was great, i just didnt understand why they got rid of him so fast

Glenn Tillbrook is a really fine guitarist, aside from his impressive pipes. He was actually the original lead guitarist in the great English band the Only Ones (&quot;Another Girl, Another Planet&quot;) He was sacked for being too much of a wheeddler/deeddler player, odd since he was so tasteful in Squeeze.

I enjoyed it a lot, but the after stuff was very odd.

<p>I might be mistaken, but I could swear Tillbrook was on the show about a year ago.&nbsp; Ronnie asked him if he'd ever been on XM before and I was waiting for him to say &quot;Yes...on YOUR show!&quot;&nbsp; </p><p>He seems like a nice enough fellow, but he bored the piss out of me.&nbsp;</p>

His gift was Glenn Tillbrook playing. The birthday boy also plays in a cover band and got to play with Glenn. He was a cool guy.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </font></font><br /> </font>

Big Squeeze fan back in the day, I enjoyed both songs and thought the segment was too short.

<p>I'm pissed I missed the show today.&nbsp; I saw Glenn Tillbrook at BB king's recently.&nbsp;Great show.&nbsp; I met Squeeze at JFK airport in the early 80's when they were promoting &quot;Singles&quot;.&nbsp; They flew over on the Concorde and gave away very cool t-shirts to everone who showed up.&nbsp; I wish I still had it.</p>

<p>that was a strange interview...seem to me that the boys were upset about something..no real questions just came in played his to songs and left...i got the impression Glen made left a bad taste in the mouth...but what the hell do i know!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Badinia]

<p>Yes, it was...weird.</p><p>I like how Ron can make Earl go back on any statement he makes by asking &quot;Did you?&quot; or&nbsp;&quot;Was it?&quot;</p><p>I feel like Earl was supposed to do something around the Glenn (with all the n's!) interview that didn't get done.</p>

<p>at first i thought maybe shark got through on the phone...but i dont remember hearing any calls.</p><p>so it just came off like when ron said &quot;he wouldn't have gotten past&quot; that it was about the guest himself.&nbsp; </p><p>earl's response, though, was crazed - even for earl. as though &quot;to a degree&quot; was to cover his ass so that ron didn't get pissed at earl for doing something wholly selfish.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[PapaBear]

I just heard it. Loved it! Also a huge Squeeze fan.

<p>Just got around to listening to yesterday's show and, from the kidney shots that Earl took from Ron afterwards, it's my impression that Earl was told <em>not</em> to put Tillbrook on the show but ignored the order or got rolled by the publicist.&nbsp; Real Mad Ron is indeed scary.</p><p>I enjoyed the segment though.&nbsp; But then I enjoy NPR once in a while.</p><p>I probably eat too much soy. ;)</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
