Full Story: http://www.davecarrollmusic.com/story... - In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise. Follow me at http://twitter.com/DaveCarroll . Video Produced by Curve Productions of Halifax, http://www.curveproductionsinc.com.

Employee owned - it shows. Had a 6AM to Denver, boarded three planes. First one got on the runway, turned back - navigation equipment broke, second - engine problems, third had to wait an hour for the Captian. Re-routed through Chicago, 100 missed the connection they set up by two minutes. Arrived Denver 11PM that night. Gal at the service desk kicking back with her feet on the counter a blanket over her shoulders drinking a cup of tea. Last time I flew United.
United made a talented band mad enough to do a video and hold the evidence of the broken guitar up in the public eye.
A true story told in song.
A video married visually with audio.
Its all one. Lyrics well done. Acting under the sun. This is a top of the charts video on You Tube with 6 1/2 million viewers at this writing. What else has the group done? Has United ever admitted to any wrong doing in this matter?
good thing you don't play cello... you'd be out 35,000 instead of 3500 heheh. I empathize with ya though ;D I don't fly United usually, but now I never will. Musicians unite!
I don't own a guitar, but I do solemnly declare that as from today Dec.10th 2009 I will not fly United for the next 11 years; should they break anything else (drumstick, lipstick, heart, whatever) without proper compensation and sincere apologies, I shall extend my embargo to 21 years, with a 17 y non parole period.
Dec ( - Dave heard you on Neal Bortz - TODAY- You Rock Brother - Give M' Hell Way to Go Dude - Nice Song - Come on Down To Crestview Florida and Sing For Us here in Dixie - Any Time --- God Bless-
