Re: "United Breaks Guitars"
I've had a guitar broken by an airline before but I wasn't clever enough to make a tune out of the ordeal. I was too busy being royally P.Oed that it happened. Snapped the head stock clean off my washburn acoustic/electric. Airline was good about it. They asked me to take it to an authorized washburn repair facility and see what it was worth. Gave me the money to replace it completely. Washburn repaired it for me and it's held for the last 5 years or so. Pocketed the remainder of the money.-kp!

Re: "United Breaks Guitars"
I wonder how Dave Carroll will come off after his 3rd song. He's doing real well with his first one. But he's promised two more and turned down any offer to settle. He's going ahead. I wonder how the public will see him when it's all done?

Re: "United Breaks Guitars"
Hmm. Maybe we can get a local songwriter to write up about Pacific Wings ripping off Kalaupapa residents with $200+ one-way ticket to fly just topside of Molokai (i.e., Hoolehua Airport).Beijing 8-08-08 to 8-24-08

Re: "United Breaks Guitars"
Great story and video. I'm actually surprised that he had a hard time getting United to fix it. The same thing happened to a friend of mine and the airline (not sure which one) paid to have it fixed.
I've also got to say that I'm surprised he checked it instead of carrying it on the plane with him. I'd never check mine. The advice from the Taylor repair shop is a good idea to carry a copy of the airlines policy with you when you fly about carrying guitars onboard.~~~~~~

Re: "United Breaks Guitars"
How many guitars do you think the band brought on this gig? 2 each, 3? Lisa Loeb had 3 on stage for the Maui concert I attended - don't know how many more she had with her.
Instead of a song about Pacific Wings ripping off Kalaupapa residents, how about one about the state supreme court shooting down a perfectly legal EIC waiver for the superferry ramps? Or Molokai residents shooting themselves in the foot by arm twisting the company that previously supplied and subsidized [a portion of] their potable water system - yeah, I'd like to hear that one. Power to the people!Last edited by salmoned; August 3, 2009, 11:37 AM.May I always be found beneath your contempt.

"The True Cost of The Ranch’s Water Problem
Tuesday 8-5-08
Filed Under: Letters & Opinions
Timmy Leong looks at the old Molokai Ranch mountain water reservoir, which is filled by stream diversions in the Kamakou mountain range.
Editorial by Walter Ritte
This problem will affect ALL of our pocketbooks on Molokai, as the county may one day be responsible for Molokai Ranch’s water companies."
Looks to me like a shared concern for all residents... but I'll modify my previous comment with [brackets] for clarity. I realize Molokai has numerous water utilities competing for limited resources. It seems inevitable that eventually the water utilities on Molokai will fall under one government-controlled aegis.Last edited by salmoned; August 3, 2009, 11:51 AM.May I always be found beneath your contempt.

Flew United to London & Back in July-August, and they ripped the rip-stop nylon on my new travel bag and the other two bags had white deposits (aluminum oxide?) on prominant contact points.Be Yourself.
