For all those serving the public, always do right by a musician. Nothing is more painful or more memorable than your name defamed in song.

United is a bunch of jerks.

Sons of Maxwell sound really good! I sure wish this video would find its way onto VH1 or CMT so that everyone can see it (even the non YouTubers). Better yet, it needs to be forwarded to the News outlets so that it can bet some airplay on the news casts around the country.

Yeah, United is pretty annoying. Once, when I was traveling with my mom from Alabama back to New York, they made us pay $100 extra to bring my bass on the plane, even though we had asked them directly about it and they said that we could take it with us for no extra charge. It's not a lot of money, but it would have been better if we had known about it beforehand.

I'd have been pretty ticked off about that. $100 is alot of money when you consider that you can upgrade from Coach to 1st Class for $100.

Or enough to buy a brand new SX everytime you fly somewhere and then donating it to charity.

Serves them right. It seems that airlines and airports can be really callous about instruments.

I have some friends that recently moved to London. They flew over on India Air from Florida, and had to buy an extra seat for their guitars!

That would probably be the safest way about it.
