In an interview for a March 14, 2014, article in Rolling Stone about the Jimi Hendrix stamp, USPS director of stamp services Susan McGowan says the 2015 Music Icons stamps will not honor rock ‘n roll musicians.
“I definitely see that we need to pay a little honor to some other genres that haven’t been covered,” she says. “For example, jazz is something that will be in the foreseeable future, or Motown and types of music that we need to recognize.”
