Via Dave Carroll: “{we} began our week-long-tour of Nebraska by flying United Airlines from Halifax to Omaha, by way of Chicago. Upon landing and waiting to deplane, a woman sitting behind me cried out: ‘My god they’re throwing guitars out there.'” After several laps around United’s bureaucratic treadmill, Dave decided to set the story to verse and video (see below).
For more songs in the airline-broke-my-instrument tradition, see “Thank You, Republic Airlines” (by Tom Paxon), “My Keyboard Got Damaged” (by Wesley Willis), and “Unfriendly Skies” (by Loudon Wainwright III).
