United Breaks Guitars

Having had a negative experience of my own with an airline (nowhere near as bad as this guy's, nor with United Airlines), I thought these two videos were absolutely hysterical. And I enjoyed the music, too! For the history of it, I'll quote directly off of the Sons of Maxwell's YouTube page:

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.

Thanks to my cousin in Arizona for bringing this to my attention! Enjoy the music.

Oh, and think twice before checking luggage on United Airlines. Especially if it's a guitar.
