Is this "Look your son's coming out", or "Like your son's coming out"? I've
always interpreted it as "Look".

I take it to mean "Look your son's coming out", as in coming out of his
shell, which ties in nicely with the theme of the video. As Donald
Sutherland gets hauled away by Big Brother, Kate's character finishes the
job he got hauled away for. One of those crossroads in the highway of
life...

BLATANT PLUG: You should buy this CD, my band's on it, and how can you rag
on us if you don't know what we sound like? :-P Shelley Doty, who was
getting rave reviews from some fellow Love Hounds a couple of months ago,
is also on the CD.
