"Canadian musician and songwriter Dave Carroll took his year-long battle with United Airlines to YouTube this week. Now his video riff ‘United Breaks Guitars’ is not only a YouTube sensation, but United has apologized for baggage handlers crushing his guitar at O’Hare airport in Chicago last year. The airline announced on Twitter today that the video “struck a chord w/ us and we’ve contacted him directly to  make it right.” United also tweeted that the video is “excellent” and that they plan use it for training purposes, “so everyone receives better service from us.”

Meanwhile, a Canadian newspaper reports, that after watching the video, Taylor Guitars in California called Carroll to say they’d be happy to repair the damaged instrument, and they promised a deep discount on his next purchase."

Which begs the question, where is my monkey circlet?

same place as my small knife, a gift 15 years ago from a friend long gone. I would bet on someones basement/garage/storage cube. I did manage to speak with a live body per phone after repeated emails to the offical contact and eventually ccing the higher ups in the kingdom got little action, but I still ran into a dead end. Let me know if you want that number (off blog)
