'United Breaks Guitars': Disgruntled singer Dave Carroll fights The Man...and wins

I'm late to the game on this one, but hey, power to the people: Musician Dave Carroll has made national news with this video rebuttal to some nasty airline treatment. It seems the Sons of Maxwell singer was flying United Airlines from Halifax, Canada to Nebraska, with an ominous stopover in Chicago. While in the Windy City, all baggage-handling hell broke loose. Here's the video..and the ensuing brouhaha. This is brilliant.

Yeah, a bit late, but probably a lot still haven't seen it.

They've got a good sound. The fact that he could express his beef without being a foul-mouthed jackass was very appealing, as well.

Good, I hope this causes huge embarrassment for United. I also hope they have to pay ten times the amount for it.
