United breaks guitars


Hace unos días leí una noticia graciosa. Se trata de lo que le pasó al músico canadiense de música country Dave Carroll. Sucede que el año pasado, en medio de una gira, Carroll viajó con destino a Omaha (Nebraska), haciendo escala en Chicago. Fue allí en donde ocurrió todo: Esperando el desembarco, oyó que una señora comentaba: "¡Dios mío, están volando guitarras allí afuera!". Carroll se dio cuenta que la aspirante a "Superman" era su guitarra, ¡nada menos que una Taylor de 3,500 dólares!

Tras casi un año de quejas no atendidas por la aerolínea responsable, United Airlines, Carroll no tuvo mejor idea que hacer una canción ("United breaks guitars") contando su odisea ante la empresa. La canción, evidentemente tuvo un eco increíble, con miles de visitas en YouTube. Aquí la noticia de CNN:





La canción no sólo es pegajosa por el ritmo (¡me gusta! ¡Je!), sino que es bien graciosa. Ya hasta me he aprendido el corito: "United... United.../ You broke my Taylor Guitar/ United... United.../ Some big help you are/ You broke it, you should fix it/ You're liable, just admit it/ I should've flown with someone else/ Or gone by car... 'Cause United breaks guitars"... Jejejeje. Eso no es todo, ha prometido 2 partes más para contar la historia completa. Y sí, le quedó buenísima, y sobre todo sirve de "estatequieto" a aquellas compañías que ladinamente quieren eximirse de sus responsabilidades. Les dejo el vídeo completo:




Dave Carroll - United breaks guitars

I flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska
The plane departed, Halifax, connecting in Chicago's "O'Hare".
While on the ground, a passenger said from the seat behind me,
"My God, they're throwing guitars out there"

The band and I exchanged a look, best described as terror
At the action on the tarmat, and knowing whose projectiles these would be
So before I left Chicago, I alerted three employees
Who showed complete indifference towards me

United...
(United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.


When we landed in Nebraska, I confirmed what I'd suspected
My Taylor'd been the victim of a vicious act of malice at O'Hare

So began a year long sagan, of "pass the buck", "don't ask me", and "I'm sorry, sir, your claim can go no where".
So to all the airlines people, from New York to New Deli
Including kind Ms. Irlweg, who says the final word from them is "no".

I heard all your excuses,
And I've chased your wild gooses
And this attitude of yours, I say, must go

United...
(United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.

Well, I won't say that I'll never fly with you again,
'Cause, maybe, to save the world, I probably would,
But that won't likely happen,
And if it did, I wouldn't bring my luggage
'Cause you'd just go and break it,
Into a thousand pieces,
Just like you broke my heart

When United breaks guitars.

United...
(United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.

Yeah, United breaks guitars.

Yeah, United breaks guitars.
