> Gram Parsons, a longtime client of Nudie’s Rodeo Tailors and Manuel Couture, poses in his iconic marijuana-encrusted Nudie Suit.

Parsons was once in a band called the Flying Burrito Brothers, and each member had their own Nudie suit. Rolling Stone ran a story not too long ago about one of them that had been lost [0]. Though it is somewhat odd to imagine the short number of years Parsons might have been a client given he died at 26.

I feel the same way, and it's what drove me to backgammon instead. Lots of fun, far less things to memorize to be competitive, and the dice make it exciting (and infuriating!).
