SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE

existential dread, subjective media and news reviews and opinionated but not necessarily well-informed commentary.

United Breaks Guitars

Canadian songwriter Dave Carroll had his Taylor acoustic destroyed by the good people at United Airlines, so after nine months of ignoring his phone calls Dave decided it was time to use his internet and get the word out.



The twits at United were able to twitter a response after Dave posted the first of three promised protest songs. The first one is here, I watched it but I don't have headphones and I don't want to interrupt the company wide Orwellian rendition of the "Take On Me" cover they blast overhead that actually has me wishing they would play early 1980's Stevie Wonder.

Oh and United, you're on notice! The only ones allowed to break guitars are Kiss, and they have a written note from Man-O-War. RIDE ON DEFENDER!!!
