Talk about making lemons out of lemonade!

Canadian musician Dave Carroll was traveling on United Airlines and while sitting on the runway he noticed the baggage handlers throwing guitar cases.  Sure enough, when he landed he found his Taylor Guitar broken and in need of more than $1000 in repairs.  This song (and hilarious video) recounts the trip and the yearlong struggle with the airline to get compensation for breaking his instrument.

The good news?   Now that the video has gone viral, the airline wants to talk, Taylor Guitars wants to give him a big discount on a new guitar, and his song has received 3.5 million hits on YouTube.
