High Above the Tundra
Why are the worst songs about airplane rides? Is it because commercial air travel is inherently boring? I think so. I mean, why else have we invented iPods and laptops with DVD-players with batteries powerful enough to watch Gone with the Wind? Back to the songs. There's that stupid John Denver song that *must* be covered by every boring performer. There's that chirpy Indigo Girls song that I just loathe. And I'm sure there's more. It's not that I'm afraid to fly (really!), it's just that it's like being locked in a cramped conference room with a lot of very possibly rude people, waiting for an expensive meeting to start. Only no one talks (usually, thank God), and we eye each other suspiciously. I try to sleep on planes, but it never works. Fortunately, I don't fly very often.
