Musicians Beware: United (Airlines) Breaks Guitars
Dave Carroll, of the Sons of Maxwell, decided to recount his unfortunate story about his trials and tribulations on a United Airlines trip last year the way a musician does best: in song. Even if you think the style of music isn't your style, the video (and song) is definitely worth checking out all the way. Trust me. (And give a local boy some support.)

Have just returned via United 863 to OZ.
Thank God I didn't know about it before we left Sydney Town. At least the wings were held on by very strong rubber bands. Maybe United should seek Harry Potter's assistance.

From "Dave Carroll gets his revenge on United Airlines" in Real Business:
"Dave Carroll’s ditty about United Airlines has racked up 3.7 million hits on YouTube and caused the airline’s stock price to plunge by ten per cent, costing shareholders $180m."

If you still haven't checked out the second video, here's the link.
While I think the first song is better, the video for the second song is very well done. Be sure to watch it all the way to the end!
