I wonder what the whole story is behind that video? He is probably so angry that if he didn't write a song he'd probably be loading his AK-47!
Great video! Owning two Taylors, I can feel his pain!!
I wonder what United thinks about that kind of advertising? But they probably don't care anyway.Funny Stuff! The lesson is buy your Taylor a seat.

refuses to accept responsibility and fix it.
Musician promises to write and produce three
songs about his experience and make videos.

I won't even take my golf clubs on the plane anymore because it isn't worth the risk. They've chewed up too many $400 drivers!! I mail them to my hotel using UPS or FedEx. A little expensive but worth it.
He should organize a nationwide boycott of United Airlines by all musicians, not just guitarists, until United exerts enough pressure on their baggage handler unions to prevent this! It's really a disgrace in this day and age.The same friend that sent me that clip also

This poor guy is just another victim of the
airlines's mentality these days. If you
complain about anything they will try to have
you arrested for disrupting a flight.
This covers over-charges, property damage, and
employee theft.

Here's an update to the story........
Carroll spent $1,200 getting the guitar repaired
“to a state that it plays well but has lost much
of what made it special.”
The capping blow, Carroll says, was an e-mail from
a Ms. Irlweg, who denied his claim for compensation
because he didn’t complain in the right place, or
at the right time. The airline wouldn’t even give
him $1,200 in travel vouchers, Carroll contends.
(Then the video hits the internet...............)
“Revenge is a dish best served with country accompaniment.”
So what does United have to say about the song and video?
“This has struck a chord with us, and we’ve contacted him
directly to make it right,” said Robin Urbanski, a spokeswoman
for United. (Urbanski also said she “loved” the video.)
Urbanski said a phone meeting had been scheduled for Wednesday,
and that before the airline decides exactly what to do for
Carroll, “we need to have that conversation with him directly.”
By the way: In the U.S. Department of Transportation’s tally
of lost, damaged, delayed or pilfered baggage in April 2009,
United ranked 10th among 19 carriers, with 13,517 “baggage
reports” among 4.03 million passengers.
