  1. Born this day in 1909 Leo Fender. Founder of Fender Musical Instruments. Leo Fender's first joint patent was filed in September 1944 alongside partner Clayton Orr "Doc" Kauffman. They patented an electric lap steel guitar featuring a string-through-body pickup design that Leo Fender had previously developed. This collaboration led to the creation of the K&F Manufacturing Corporation and, later, the Fender electric instrument legacy.

    In 1950 the company released the Esquire, a thin body, fast neck electric that wouldn't feedback when played at volume of dance halls. Adding a second pick-up in '51 we had the Broadcaster which became the Telecaster. Still one of the most popular electric guitars for any genre.

    The sounds we hear today might be very different if not for Leo Fender.

  3. The back covers of some 1950s Esquire magazines. Fun fact: At some point back then, Pabst was the fourth-biggest brewer in the US.

    Need I say the sounds we hear today might be very different if not for Leo Fender. What does a Fender Stratocaster sound like when played through a Fender Champ amp? Listen to Clapton on "Layla".

  10. A book found when packing up a relative's house. Any book with a chapter on how to tell if you're drunk at your own party is, to say the least, dodgy. But I know someone who will find it a hoot.

    The inside only need minor repairs but I wanted to save the dust cover. I repaired the tears, backed it onto Japanese tissue paper and laminated that all to some thick black wrapping paper and touched up the as many of the losses as I could.

    The cover had a plastic facing which had become brittle. Even folding it back onto the book cracked it, so I ended up encasing it in non-sticky plastic wrap (which is why the after shots are a bit washed out).

  11. The White House Just Casually Floated a Move That Would Be Traitorous to the Very Idea of America – Esquire

    The White House Just Casually Floated a Move That Would Be Traitorous to the Very Idea of America

    Despite what Trump advisor Stephen Miller may believe, habeas corpus is a core legal right—not a revocable privilege.Z

    By Charles P. Pierce, Published: May 12, 2025 1:55 PM EDT

    “The Constitution is clear and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus could be suspended in time of invasion,” said Stephen Miller, White House aide, and now a confirmed traitor to the American idea. “So that’s an option we’re actively looking at.”

    Unless every other elected official in this country stands up against even the consideration of this extremist pipe dream, there is no point of being a citizen of this country any more. It would be as empty a title as that of the sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Despite whatever is rattling around Miller’s febrile cabeza, habeas corpus is not a revocable privilege. It is a right guaranteed to everyone incarcerated. In calling it a “privilege” that “could be suspended” to suit the whims of his boss, Miller proves himself to be a traitor not only to the American idea but also to the freaking Magna Carta (!), the 39th clause of which states, “No free man shall be seized or imprisoned … except by the lawful judgment of his equals and by the law of the land.” Miller is proposing to reverse all English-speaking jurisprudence since 1215. I think if you find yourself on the wrong side of human rights from John Lackland, it’s time for us to be quite done with you.
