707

Ok, where have all the flying/traveling songs gone? And why is the plane always a Boeing 707 in all the good old songs about flying? (Early Morning Rain, and Big Old Jet Airliner). I just am not hearing any new songs to the effect of “That Boeing 777 got me to Tokyo no sweat, fuel efficient, comfortable, it has only two engines, but we didn’t get wet.” Hmm. Maybe I’ve got a song to write. But with no sex, crude rhymes, or drug references, it’ll never sell…
