    • 1959, John Kerry King, Southeast Asia in Perspective[1], The MacMillan Company, page 269:
      The first phase to give a "true picture of America" in order to counter communist anti-American propaganda managed to impress on Southeast Asian minds meaningless images of superhighways, supermarkets, electric kitchens, and whirring industrial wheels coupled with what can only be described as a superunbelievable materiistic standard of living. If it would have called forth any specific reactions in Southeast Asia, the obvious ones would have been envy and dissatisfaction.

      “For me,” Stanley says, “a great pickup means you can hear each string when you strum a chord. I’ve never liked pickups that just put out this blaring, white noise distortion. All the guitar players I love, when they hit a chord, you heard each string. So I prefer either a real vintage pickup or one that’s just a little souped-up. But when you get into superdistortion, super-duper-distortion and superunbelievable - distortion pickups, I’m not interested."
