I never fly [ Dave Carroll never flies ] Response to United Breaks Guitars Song 2

[1footonthedawn]

You sing well and have a gift for songwriting! (I don't agree with you about climate change being caused by humans, but I do appreciate your talent.) I agree it would be a pleasure to hear you perform with the Canadian Dave Carroll.

[nikkitytom]

Damn ... but this is a charmer! Low key .... no fancy makeup or background .... just a casual guy slumping in front of a sheet to block the excess light from a home-made camera set up. But what a great piece! Voice smooth as silk and some really fine fingers strummming some well chosen chords. Kudos and thank for a bright Sunday moment .......... ( Okay I'm sympathetic to your message too .... )

[DreamerM]

So much denial in this comments section. Oh well, Humanity might be boned, but at least we've got great tunes. Thanks Other Dave Carroll!

[DECACOWBOY]

Very nice execution, nice voice, and even the lyrics, as long as he doesn't really mean it. I love to fly, despite the fact that many times I have had baggage damages and even arthicles disappearing from it. I do too many international flying which would take way too long to do any other way.

[TheBlessingOfLiberty]

global warming is a hoax

[bellat1]

Every "warm age" is followed by an ice age. The former is about 10,000 year long, whereas the latter is about 10 times longer (100,000 years). The "Global warming theory" is just a business project. It has nothing to do with how the real state of things.

[luizmendonca00]

@bellat1Sorry, but that "cycling thing" is as much a theory as the other. If you feel relief that you, and your life style, has nothing to do with the actual state of things, you might as well check on your other beliefs for you might be more mistaken than you realize. And if Im correct, than and you (and your whole is just natural gang) is likely to be jeopardizing life as we know in some serious way.

[SuperElrodeo]

very very nice.

[edwin4759]

is he using a takamine guitar?

[mutad8]

Well done song, though.

[longwave2007]

Gonna ride a bike from Blighty to the big Apple? That I'd like to see!

Cheers

[kw757]

OMG!  I hope you don't play the guitar and sing for a living! You suck!

[dbflyboy917]

Dude, I was never intending to argue. You just decided to debate the facts that I stated with our fiction. We all know your wrong and I hope one day you wake up and realize that. Not much else to say aside from you are wrong. Please wake up!

[Benignheart]

I like the rhymn, you sing it good and I like the way you play the guitar and its well written. I thought its hillarious. But it do not mean flying is bad. I have to fly to go home and visit my country. LOL I am thankful for airplane that I am able to connect my self to other nation.

[pattyloof]

Great voice!

I don't fly because I'm tired of being treated like a criminal. Metal detector, take off the shoes, stand in line, scan my stuff, open my suitcase, scan me, search me ... you're just using this to show how much you're "doing". Yet still people get on board with bombs strapped to them.

The airlines need to grow a pair and tell the government to leave their customers alone. Until they do that I'm not getting on another plane. I used to love flying but not anymore.

[Herbs2oils]

I enjoyed the music, way to go both Daves.

[dbflyboy917]

Busses and trains burn more gas, hell, what do you think is powering your house? If it is really such a big deal to you, live in a f*ing cave!! Shut up and get a clue!

[runaway2me80]

Hey. Dumbass. His house does not necessarily run on gas. Jet fuel produces far more hazardous fumes than diesel or even top fuel drag racing gasoline. He's trying to make a difference, and a good one at that. Why don't you go write a song if you even have the know how. It's obviously a big deal to him so don't bother harassing him. Fuck off and die you useless prick. GREAT SONG!!

[runaway2me80]

"During the three-day period when there were no commercial flights and only a few contrails from military planes, we got this sudden increase in the temperature range due to the fact that we suddenly had clearer skies across the country," Travis said. The diurnal temperature range rose sharply on Sept. 11 and fell again on Sept. 14 when commercial flights resumed, he said.

Global warming may be wrong but planes cause change in local weather. So fuck off.

[dbflyboy917]

Hey dumbfuck, what is the ideal temperature of the earth? Because if you really believe in the shit that Al Gore says (if you believe in even a little bit) you are an idiot, you obviously have no clue what the fuck you are talking about. So take your own advice and fuck off!

[runaway2me80]

Al Gore is an idiot. What we do affects the environment. One fact doesn't change another.

[dbflyboy917]

Yes he is, and so are you. Wake Up! If you really think that airplanes change the environment, then walk Europe to the united states, no flying, no driving, no taking a boat. Walk smart-ass and maybe then you will realize that things that we take DONT affect the environment.

[runaway2me80]

What are you ten? I've already proven my point about plain contrails in a previous comment. Can you prove yours? No, because quite frankly you're wrong. Moron.

[dbflyboy917]

@runaway2me80 You couldn't answer my question "What is the ideal temperature of the earth" and you are calling me 10, a moron, wrong ect... I am NOT wrong, i am NOT 10 and I am NOT a moron! It's the idiot's like you that fit well into the phrase "dont confuse me with facts" you being the "me" in that phrase. Get a life bro, you know your wrong, and if you don't want to fly or don't like to fly, then dont fly! but dont take a car, or any motor-related transportation, just a bicycle or walk!

[dbflyboy917]

@runaway2me80 so don't give me that BS!

[runaway2me80]

lol Look the baby's angry cause he knows he argued himself into a corner. I repeat, can you prove that what we do does not have an effect on the environment?

[dbflyboy917]

@runaway2me80 Yes I DID, prove my points, several times, and you never replied to any of them. Reason, you didn't have anything to say, you knew what I said was true. Wake up and smell the coffee and realize that you are wrong. BTW: I am NOT a baby, and I didn't argue u into a corner. Look at the IPCC records and you will realize I am right. Also, do you realize that the FAA is requiring more "eco-frendly airplanes" and even though the enviorment DOESN'T need them, and all smart people know

[dbflyboy917]

@runaway2me80 that, they are still idiots, just like you, I am limited to the characters, so PM me if you wanna debate more so we can debate without 20 comments.

[dbflyboy917]

Or you can just wake up and admit that I am right, because I know that's the truth. DO you realize that you said you "don't believe in global warming, and you know it is not true", but you are saying "airplanes affect the enviorment" do you realiaze that you are completely controdicting your self. al gore is saying that "global warming, climate change, whatever" is "airplanes, cars, trucks, ect are putting things into the air" so you are saying you agree, but disagree.

You are an IDIOT!

[runaway2me80]

Global warming is a theory. Stating that the Earth is consistently getting warmer due to a build up of greenhouse gases. I don't think that is necessarily true. The effect of our actions on the environment, whether positive or negative, has been proven. To deny one is not to deny the other. And your blatant blindness to facts and evidence, just because it supports something you don't want to believe is childish. I'm through with this argument, you can have the last word if you want.

[mutad8]

"temperature range rose sharply on Sept. 11 and fell again on Sept. 14"

I was in Walmart 2-1/2 weeks ago and the lady in line in front of me passed gas (loudly). The next day, temps in the south US dropped and and stayed below freezing for over a week. The worst cold spell in decades!! OBVIOUSLY, noxious methane causes global cooling!

Al Gore is not an idiot, he is a con man getting rich on blatant lies and distortion.

[runaway2me80]

Regardless of Al Gore being an idiot, our actions do affect the world around us. Why are those two things inseparable to you? Ok so if an idiot tells you it's wrong to kill people is that your excuse to go around killing? No. One moron says the planets getting hotter, and you assume that he's wrong. OK maybe he is. But the actions we take affect the world around us. You can't disprove it. Unless you can, fuck off.

[Sc1g1rl543]

Awesome! I love how ageofstupid and tcktcktck turn up everywhere lately :D I found this through the other song, and recognized the references immediately. Props to both Dave Carrolls for standing up for what they believe in :D

[MAXmillium]

Now here's an artist we should support!

Great meaning in the song, nice voice. Thanks for this Dave!

[lilbrownbunny]

well done and good point.

[kempavenueband]

Great guitar work here. Overall a nice little jingle. I would really like to see the 2 Dave Carroll's get together fo a song!

[flintstone9812]

love the video.

Great guitar work.

[dbflyboy917]

(sarcastically) fantastic!! Another global warming nut job! Get a clue, and realize, Al Gore is a idiot, he said that a couple miles deep in the earth's crust it was a million degrees!! shows he is a clueless. Global Warming DOESN'T EXSIST!!!

Wake up. Most of the hot air is coming out of Al Gore's Head.

[uafrankie]

Ha ha, I chuckled at this. Great song, well done! Too bad I'll probably never see you over here in Europe (unless you'd decide to swim)! Keep up the great work!

[Alexmcgruer3]

In the other Dave Carrolls defence.

Canada is a little larger than the USA and it is a little larger than England.

Flying is oftain the only option.

Canad also has a few more trees to sup up the CO2.

The video and song is great,

[FruityFilm]

Very difficult to get to my in-laws in Southern Africa by train in the limited time I get from my employer. Otherwise yes I don't fly. Way to go Franny!

[CanadaIndieFilm]

I don't fly either. It makes for some very long but fun road trips.

[Titaniumbuyer]

Dave, that was great. Creative, funny, excellent lyrics and fine guitar playing. I hope you are enjoying the celebrity by osmosis. The "other" Canadian Dave Carroll just put out another video today (10/7/09) so there may be more emails in your mailbox soon. Best of luck to you. JB

[Totentinker]

Ooh, I love it !! :)

[Derekoarmy]

Enjoyed your talent with the guitar and singing. Thanks

[chlordk]

Its funny that most of the attendees to the climate conference in Copenhagen (Denmark) Dave Carroll is singing about, will travel by air plane.

They should take a video conference instead.

[rromanich]

Yep, very nice! I'd like to download it to my player to listen it offline. Is it possible?

[davecarrollguitar]

Thanks for your appreciation. Now to answer your question.-Here's an offer for you and everyone else out there.EMAIL ME via my website [there's a link in 'info' top right] and I'll forward you an MP3 file. No charge.

I'm also aiming to set up the facility to download the MP3 from my site for free.

[badavis2840]

@rromanich /yes it is. Just right click and save to your real player or win amp or media player.

[TheCosmicFrog]

Nice one :-)

[ElissaSmith]

hey david, you have a beautiful singing voice, you're so talented on your guitar and you have a meaningful message. It takes guts not to fly (especially when you have loved ones oversees) and I'm proud of you.

[shinyhapps]

hahah niceeee!

[pigerg]

Nice one Dave
