This
is one of those heart-warming stories where a writer (in this case, songwriter
and musician Dave Carroll) is able to use his skill to get revenge on an uncaring
company.
After months of frustration trying to get United Airlines to
compensate him for damage done to his expensive guitar, Carroll gave up and
took his case to the airwaves—or at least YouTube. He wrote and filmed a song
(quite catchy, actually) called “United Breaks Guitars” and put it up on the
internet.
His goal was to get a million views.
So
far he has almost five million.
I’m
guessing United is wishing they’d paid him his $1200 in damages.
Writing warriors, let Dave be our inspiration!
