It's the echo that sings "I want my M-T-Vvvvvvvvvvv" right before the guitar riff kicks in.

Ah-yep that’s what I’m thinking of. Thanks.

I Think Leazel is a traditional German/Austrian name. Wasn't one of the Von Trapp kids Leazel?

Yes, but the shell of Christmas is like a gelatinous blob that swallows everything around it. Look at how many perfectly good winter tunes have been corrupted into being slaved to Christmas. Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells (written for Thanksgiving), Frosty th Snowman. The list is endless.

Live in MI. I walk a ton, but the closest dedicated coffee shop (Bigby) is 1.5 miles from me. There are, however, two restaurants that will also serve me coffee within .125 miles.

First, I agree with everything you typed. BUT

Second, "a little fortress of solitude and separates me from the public" is kinda the problem we have that leads to the top part of the picture. We in the West in general and the United States in particular have lost our sense of community. My car by myself listening to what I want in solitude is AWESOME, but stopping to sit and be part of a community is probably better for me.

This is the part that pisses me off. It should be same crime same time.

I have two go with option B.

I'm sorry I took the money.
