I could see a stamp happening in the near future. Elvis got one for much less.

    For a moment I could only think of the inked kind of stamps and thought, "Wait, people stamp pictures onto money? And they did that with Elvis? I've never seen Elvis on a dollar, how have I missed that?"

    Then I remembered postage stamps exist.

    Regardless, I'm still down for stamping a picture of Dolly onto bills.

    Elvis got more than just a stamp. he got an entire art movement. I'm writing a song/ballad (or rather trying, but I'm distracted with four other projects so if'n you want to help/write a competing song, reach out) about velvet elvises (because one of the most beautiful phrases in the english language is "velvet elvis". fuck you, cellar door. oooh, i should use that as a lyric.)
