Newest folk hero - Steven Slater.


When I heard the story of Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater's bad day on the job and his dramatic departure, I thought, now this is the nugget for the next Jimmy Buffett ballad. 

It could only have been better if Slater had made his escape on the airport tarmac of St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.  Buffett's definitely going to pick up on this story. 

But then I learned that Jimmy Fallon beat Buffett to the punchline.  Check out his "Ballad of Steven Slater"

"You got to get two beers and jump!" 

Perfect.
