Gram Parsons Flying Burrito Brothers Nudie Cohn & Manuel Suit Rare Pin Set

Description: Gram Parsons Lapel Pin Set (as pictured,3 pins only on card)These are Heavy Thick HIGH QUALITY items Marijuana, Opium Poppy Gram Parsons was a singer, song writer, guitar player & pianist that had been a member of several bands including the International Submarine Band, The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers. It wasn’t until after his death, however, that he was recognized as being one of the founders of country rock and alt-country. The suit that Gram had designed for himself has been interpreted as a sort of eerie timeline leading up to his death. With the pills, marijuana leaves, poppy flowers and nudes symbolizing the downward spiral that caused his death, the cholo cross on the back and the flames running up the legs of his pants foreseeing his friends’ drunken act of attempting to cremate his body. All displaying his teetering between sinfulness and faith. Parsons' suit was hand stitched by Manuel Cuevas, Nudie Cohen's protégé, who has called the suit "a map for him to follow to his death." Since Gram's death, there have been many tributes to him in the form of albums, movies, concerts and plays. A more recent tribute to Gram Parsons was in the form of a theatrical concert that was written to show a more romantic portrayal of the artist when he was at the top of his game and the time leading up to his tragic demise.
