Hey, remember the Robert Johnson stamp? Photoshop hadn't even been invented then!

Supposedly it's illegal to show smoking or drinking on US Stamps, so they HAD to paint out that icky cigarette.

Not saying it's right, I just don't think they had another iconic portrait of Johnson that DIDN'T have a cigarette.

Kinda like my dad. I was looking at some pics of him from when I was a kid and in every single one he's holding a smoke.

And he's still very much alive, thank you. (But he doesn't smoke anymore)
