- When a rock band hits the big time in the U.S., chances
- are it'll pick up an award or two, plus the adoration of a slew
- of fans. But in Sweden a group can get what even Elvis
- couldn't: a minted stamp. The country will honor the pop duo
- Roxette in October on a stamp that depicts them in full
- rock-'n'-roll regalia. "I'm playing guitar and Marie's
- screaming," says Per Gessle of himself and Marie Fredriksson.
- Roxette has been a Swedish mainstay since 1986, but Americans
- now tuned in to their sound have made the single Joyride No. 1
- on the charts.
