You Ain't Nothin' but a Waitress in the Sky

[alcibiades_mystery]

Sanitation expert and a maintenance engineer
A garbage man and janitor and YOU, my dear
A real union flight attendant, my OH my
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

I often wish I had a rock 'n roll band so I could air my petty resentments over the public airwaves. As far as airing petty resentments over public airwaves goes, Paul Westerberg's "Waitress in the Sky" for The Replacements must rank up there pretty high. Any theories on what might have caused him to write this song? Care to speculate? List your bad flight attendant experiences!

3. Yeah, probably a little bit

Can we put that aside for a second and just wonder at the beauty of it all, though? Think about it.

5. and that umpire today who called strike three on Ken Griffey Junior

is a racist.

2. I'd say that the person who wrote that song

was just tired of hearing euphemisms.

4. and if you did air your resentments, you'd do it
