I’ve just released another airline customer service music video. My first in 16 years . This time it’s in support of an Uzbek citizen named Sukhrob Ubaydullaev and the airline who left him stranded was Wizz Air. #Wizz #WizzAir #CustomerService YouTube youtu.be/YE24a8NOh4w

I'm playing @CarletonHalifax on Sunday September 17. I'm SO EXCITED about it, that I made my own commercial (thanks to Shehab Ilyas for the performance footage). Call a friend. Get Your Tickets. Come to my show. thecarleton.ca/events/dave-ca…

Hey everyone 👋. I've got a show coming up on September 17th @CarletonHalifax! See you there for a great evening of songs and stories.

@RickWilsonGuita @historyinmemes Nope. The real broken guitar died of internal injuries. We got an irreparable guitar from a music store and smashed the neck off for the video. Plus, the Taylor had been repaired by the time we shot it.

@historyinmemes The broken guitar in the video isn’t even a Taylor!!!

Dave Carroll was a singer-songwriter and a member of the band Sons of Maxwell. In 2008, he flew with United Airlines from Halifax to Omaha, with a layover in Chicago. He checked in his Taylor guitar, which he valued at $3,500, as part of his luggage. Upon arriving in Omaha, he discovered that his guitar was broken, apparently due to mishandling by the baggage handlers. He contacted United Airlines to file a claim, but faced indifference and bureaucracy. They informed him that he had missed the 24-hour window to report the damage and was not eligible for compensation. In his attempts to escalate his complaint to various managers and executives, he received no satisfactory response or resolution. Frustrated, he decided to take matters into his own hands and wrote a song called “United Breaks Guitars”, recording it with his band and posting it on YouTube. The song quickly went viral and had a significant impact on United Airlines' reputation and customer satisfaction. Within four weeks of the video's release, United Airlines' stock price fell 10%, costing stockholders about $180 million in value.

@luispereira1965 @historyinmemes Thank you.

@historyinmemes Such a cool song, I just bought it on iTunes, way to go Dave…..

@srkdhmstf @historyinmemes It’s true. The price did rebound as a Columbia University branding prof once brought up when I spoke at the school. She argued the price rebound meant that United was unaffected by the video. I left questioning how she got a job as a branding expert.

@historyinmemes And then the price went back up. That’s why they don’t care and that’s why we need to be more serious with our boycotts like the one with Bud Light.

@bklunder @historyinmemes @MBarton1475 Yes sir! The dynamic duo !

@historyinmemes @MBarton1475 Don and Dave!

@Mattie291 @historyinmemes Thanks for the plug.

@historyinmemes There’s actually a really good book about this by @DaveCarroll . Highly recommend it
