46 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?

Answer me, dammit!

And he said that the actual linemen hated that song, objected to all the inaccuracies.
