United Breaks Guitars Part Two

Dave Carroll returned to YouTube and viral fame this past week with his second installment of "United Breaks Guitars." This follows on the heels of a disputed "apology" from United Airlines (they only acted sorry AFTER Carroll's video went huge on these here interwebz) and a donation to a charity where, if I understand correctly, one of the main UA execs is on the board. So, awkward. Hence, part two, which has a little more Lyle Lovett and his big band feel to it. And which I love.

Dave Carroll's 'United Breaks Guitars' Music Video Is a Huge Hit

Normally, airlines can get away with treating customers like crap. Why? It's the 800-pound gorilla thing. Or the capitalistic thing. But every now and then, when someone like, hypothetically, United Airlines breaks, say, Dave Carroll's Taylor Guitar, the little man fights back. That's exactly what Dave Carroll did with his freaking awesome "United Breaks Guitars" song. And it's only Part 1 -- with over 120,000 views so far on YouTube, one would think United might be shopping for some six-stringers right now.
