Halifax musician Dave Carroll [went viral](http://adage.com/songsforsoap/post?article%5Fid=137790&ref=hypebot.com) to protest the behavior of United Airlines and its treatment of his Taylor guitar. "United Breaks Guitars," which was posted on YouTube Monday has already exceeded 600,000 views. Carroll was flying with his band, saw a United crew member tossing their guitars while loading them into the plane and then spent a year fighting the airline to get them to replace his $3,500 broken beauty.
