Tim, 1985
Written by Paul Westerberg
In college I knew several people who were heavily into the Replacements. I never saw the charm at the time, although I did listen to some Westerberg albums on repeat. This song is from the point of view of a nasty, entitled airline passenger who thinks of the poor hardworking stewardess as "nothing but a waitress in the sky," comparing her derisively to a janitor. Clearly Westerberg intends the narrator to be the bad guy, but I bet a lot of people have grossly misunderstood the song and identified with the flier. "Uppity women amirite?!"
