Wait For It
From an article about the fall TV season:
Welcome to network TV’s latest reality: Mediocre is the new good and good is the new great. And "great"? Well, everyone’s still waiting on that.
So that's it, then, "waiting on" has actually replaced "waiting for" as preferred usage.

Lou Reed made "waiting on" cool.
Really? Lou Reed sang "I'm Waiting For The Man." It was the Stones who sang "Waiting On A Friend."
Huh. I just listened to the song again and you're absolutely right. Why in the world did I think he said "waiting on my man" at least once during the song? I think you're right -- I was mentally conflating the two songs. Thanks.
