Like most people, “It’s a Wonderful Life” is one of my favorite movies, however, in a “mixed emotional” way. It’s story of greed, a family in debt and generally misureable — you could call it, “All American.” And, in this week’s most read NY Times article, Wendell Jamieson writes”
“It’s a Wonderful Life” is a terrifying, asphyxiating story about growing up and relinquishing your dreams, of seeing your father driven to the grave before his time, of living among bitter, small-minded people.

And friends are crying “Boo Hoo”

For a bus ride together with you
Come on, it’s ghastly weather
For a bus ride together with you
