Related: Culture Forums, Support Forums46 years after Glen Campbell sang the song, I wonder if the Wichita Lineman is STILL on the line?
Did he get to come down for pee breaks?
Did people throw sandwiches and stuff up to him?
I mean, what was the story? Did he go up and come down or is he STILL up there?
