Anybody know the words to Tom Paxton's song, "Thank You, Republic Airlines! [for breaking the neck of my guitar]"? I heard him sing it once but the words are nowhere to be found in my foundering memory.

Here's what you do: Buy a $50 guitar at WalMart or Costco or the like, pack it in a hardshell case with FRAGILE--MUSICAL INSTRUMENT stickers all over it...and put your Taylor in a cardboard box held together with duct tape. Guaranteed, the beater will be beaten up and your jewel will survive! [CAUTION: INTENDED FOR COMIC EFFECT ONLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT.]
