Band takes United Airlines baggage handling to task on YouTube

training.

Canadian musician Dave Carroll could have sung the blues after United Airlines
workers at O'Hare smashed his guitar and the carrier refused to pick up the
$1,200 cost to repair it.

Instead, he turned the experience into a witty ditty, "United Breaks Guitars,"
and scored an instant hit on YouTube.com, his first in a 16-year career. The
video has been viewed more than 502,000 times since it was posted on Monday.

a smile and a country twang.
