Although I don’t really listen to country music, this video is pretty catchy:
United breaks guitars
It is a prime example of how you can get a company to comply with your wishes to fix what was done wrong by their employees.
It seems like this guy, David Carroll, a member of the band Sons of Maxwell, sent his guitar as a check-in through United. United airlines employees, just as any other airline employee, tried to take gingerly care of the checked in baggage. But for some “Unforseen” reason, maybe it was turbulance, or taking off at 150 MPH, or landing at 125 MPH and 5 Gs of force, the guitar lost its neck.
So Dave, tried to get restitution for the damage, of course United denied the claim. So Dave thought, there’s more than one way to skin a cat, he made a song, United Break Guitars, and put it on YouTube. Of course 2 million people viewed it and now Dave is a household name.
United found out, and offered to pay him for the damage, of course Dave doesn’t want to take the money because he is enjoying fame and fortune because of that mishap. Apparently there is a rumor that United promissed to use his video to train baggage handlers. So how would it go United? See here what happens if you mistreat luggage? You make someone rich and famous, so stop doing it 🙂
So there the story goes. He will be signing with Simon for the next season of American idol (NOOOOOTTTTT!).
