DAVE CARROLL

UNITED WE (take a) STAND!

Not only was Dave Carroll's precious Taylor guitar broken last year during a United Airlines flight (witnesses saw careless baggage handlers toss it), but follow-up calls and emails to UA offered no major apology or compensation for the $1,200 he subsequently paid in repairs. Instead, they essentially told him, "sh*t happens!" Wrong call. To take a stand and right the wrong, Dave immortalized the saga in a YouTube / iTunes music video titled "United Breaks Guitars" this past summer. He promised it was the first song in a trilogy, and released the 2nd video in October, an even more complex undertaking, with nearly 100 extras, multiple props, including broken and unbroken guitars, a limousine and a “genuine imitation space capsule.”

Dave will visit with us tonight to tell us about the whole saga, updates to the story, and how it has changed his life by putting him in the limelight.
