Maybe they should put LSD on the back of the stamps.

you bad. lol.

[Cagey]

Mongolia is on the leading edge.

[tallhappy]

But they proudly point out that Garcia was a great musician...

That's funny.

"Everyone involved recognizes that a Garcia stamp would be a leap for the post office by honoring a rock-era figure associated with hippies, casual drug use and a way-laidback lifestyle."

would they lace the stamps with LSD, too?

[plain talk]

He has an ice cream bar named after him. What more could he want? (oh that's right - he's dead, Jim!)

[jackibutterfly]

". . .grassroots campaign wants to memorialize the Dead's driving force with a U.S. Postal Service stamp."

WHY????

[SF Republican]

Thought Jerry Garcias was some fine guitar work (for its style) but Jerry ain't Elvis.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Well, there was that song.

Sugar Mongolia.

[RedRover]

This could be a set-back to Three Stooges fans and the "Honor Curly" movement.

[RightWhale]

Garcia was a great musician whose work blended many styles

Sometimes all at once.

How can you tell when 'dead heads' have been in your house?

... they're still there.

[nuconvert]

Got my vote

[TheForceOfOne]

LOL!

[thoughtomator]

I think that's already been done.

[rockabyebaby]

Pa-leeeeeeeeze, a stamp for Garcia? Pa-leeeeeeeeeeze!

[annalex]

I don't think US postal regulations allow dead white males on the post stamp.

Jerry had more talent in his missing finger than Elvis had in his whole body. Elvis just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Just like any other pop icon, Elvis was long on image and short on talent.
