Air guitar owned by JFK

You have missed your chance to bid on an "Air guitar owned by JFK":

Extremely rare oppurtunity
up for auction is the only air guitar known to have been owned by US president

JFK President kennedy was under constant stress from political rivals and upsets, so its only natural he would have taken up playing air guitar

Many silent and melancholy impromptu jam sessions haunted the air in Kennedy's office as US president

it was discovered recently in a cold storage unit in its case

the atmospheric conditions left the case with some of the usual imperfections found in aging vintage sound equipment, but the guitar itself (a red solid-body electric resembling a Mustang) is as it was in kennedys hands

Kennedy entertaining premier Khruschev in a moment of naive peacefulness with his faithful air guitar.

I agree, that's brilliant!

The sad thing, some people probably believe it...

cool, I want one. Khruschev looks like he's diggin it. Interesting... in the last few weeks, we've had JFK playing the air guitar, and Marilyn Monroe playing the skin flute. Hey, why does Elton John choose to play the piano? All together now

That's awesome. I'd love JFK's air guitar.

I can add it to my collection.

You people are all wrong. It's not an air guitar at all. From the way he's holding it he's obviously playing an air banjo.

love it! Still remember what I was doing when JFK was killed. Was about 12 and we had just seen a science fiction movie, "the day the earth stood still" and it did, and for a good bit after too.
thanks for the article.
