One of my most popular tags is videos (# 6 after initial 300 posts). There are 3 types of videos that I post here:
1) videos I have taken of my family
2) Videos friends and family have asked me or allowed me to post
3) Viral videos I have found on the internet or that have been reccomended by other blogs.
One of the videos from the third category that I found most compelling is actually a series of three videos by a group called the Sons of Maxwell fronted by Canadian Dave Carroll.

The incident that inspired the songs took place in my home town of Chicago as United Airlines mishandled the guitar of Mr. Carroll. The real tragedy took place as Carroll could not get United to fix the guitar. After going round and round with United, Carrol told the airline's representative that he was going to write 3 songs about the incident, record them, make music videos and post them on you tube. Carrol was as good as his word and he posted the following 3 songs:
United Breaks Guitars Song I
United Breaks Guitars Song II
United Breaks Guitars Song III
Now I haven't flown United since the incident. This isn't really much of a boycott as I haven't had flown anywhere to since July of 2001. I will continue to post cool videos like these though.
Next Time: WFMW
