[Gocamino] Still wanna check your bags?

[Grant Spangler]

I always do carry-on as I fly to The Land or Far Far Away. When you consider the airlines penchant for mayhem, mischief and misplaced luggage, delays can be a real trip-killer. Broken luggage can be as bad or worse. Here is a done-somebody-wrong song, the outcome of just such negligence. This music video has 1.3 million views and counting, I think he got his message out. 
 
In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didn't deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise.
