Jesse Can’t Shag…The Sticker


According to Lew Powell of Charlotte, the “Jesse Can’t Shag” record came with this sticker. The sticker, one of 2698 items in the Lew Powell Memorabilia Collection, is currently on exhibit in the Gallery as part of the “Soapboxes and Tree Stumps: Political Campaigning in North Carolina” exhibition. The exhibition features twelve Helms-related items, including this comical “HelmsBusters” button. A number of politicians, including Walter Mondale and Ronald Reagan, were also lampooned in this popular culture reference to the 1984 comedy film Ghost Busters.
