So, the Canadian government will sell a bunch of these to music fans who will never use them.

Put me down as one of those fans. Does anyone in Canada want to sell some of these stamps when they come out or make a trade for something?

 
I'm not a stamp collector but aren't you supposed to send them through the mail for them to be of value? Does the postal service even "stamp" the stamps any more? Remember back in the day they would have an ink stamp that marked them used and the origin where it was mailed? I haven't seen anything with a stamp in years.

 
They still cancel out the stamps. There are still some of us dinosaurs that actually use our great Postal Service.

 
Where I live you have to be dead to get your face on a stamp.

I guess the Canucks do it different.

Neal Young is over do.

 
I just ordered some if your order amount is less than $25 there is a $2.99 charge.

At least our post office has the decency to not issue Nickleback postage stamps (at least so far...). Ya Neil Young is overdue, maybe a few others too. KD Lang eating a beef burger would rock (diehard vegetesbian), maybe Leonard Cohen reading some poetry or whatever you call his schtick...

Just saw some John Candy stamps the other day - they were great!

Okay...

Not for nothin', but Rush and the Guess Who just HAVE to be bigger, more influential bands than the Tragically Hip.

I've never even heard of Beau Dommage.

How come those bands got bigger stamps?

RUSH gets hosed again.

 
Rush is still going after 38 years.

The Hip are still going after 30 years.

The Guess Who still have a presence after 50+ years.

Beau Dommage played for 6 years in the 70's, reunite for another couple kicks at the cat over the next 15 years.

And they all get a stamp? Something stinks here.

I can name several Canadian bands that should be stamped - Crowbar, Chilliwack, Saga, Stompin' Tom Connors (not rock but he deserves two stamps!).

But not Bryan Adams. The Canadian government has already formally apologized for that. /emoticons/default_laugh.png

Oh yeah, Neil Young. He's a Canadian. But he is not a Canadian recording artist.

Heart would qualify better for that!

what?? no Celine Dion??? /emoticons/default_biggrin.png

I think Gordon Lightfoot should be there too...Ann Murray..they left a few out.

Offenbach too...

 
I guess they included Beau Dommage because they are quebeckers and having at least one French-canadian artist would be politically correct. That's heavy BS, but well... that's how things work here.

BTW, if a French artist was mandatory, I would have preferred Offenbach. I know almost nobody here knows them, but they were quite big and they did rock.
