The saga of Dave Carroll and his guitar and the pain and suffering of flying United Airlines . . . the three song challenge . . . a musical tragedy of sorts . . .

United Breaks Guitars

So, what is that about? From Dave’s blog back when this all happened:

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.

After the first song got a lot more response than he had expected, Dave issued a statement:

And the series continues . . .

Song Two

And the conclusion . . .

United We Stand
