I like The Next Day cover. It’s provocative.

The Next Day is a decent cover. I don’t know what it means but it isn’t ugly, it’s kind of a creative “reminiscing the past but still moving forward” kind of thing, probably.
but it’s not pretty

BUT NO HE IS ANIME MAN
At least it’s better than The Next Day (it’s just the heroes cover but weird!!! what is so interesting about that?) and the Space Oddity cover

1) The Next Day is a bad cover
2) Reality creeps me the f—- out and I hate it. It always reminds me of this from one episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog for some reason:

Offline Space Oddity is better than TND or Reality, but it’s still not that great. Just okay. The best thing about it is Bowie’s face and pooodle perm, but they’re only half there. So.

I prefer the American cover
How about the “Man Who…” cover, which is better…original UK cover…
…1970 American cover on Mercury label, the one I’ve got…
…or the 1972 RCA edition…
…?

Uggggghhhhh I looooove the dress cover it is i c o n i c – aesthetically pleasing on a textural/color scheme level as well as Bowie being an androgynous king 
every time I see it I want to un-cross-dress* 
*This is actually tricky. It’s a dress, and he’s a man, so you’d assume he’s cross-dressing, but he also insistently insisted that it’s a man’s dress, which I suppose it is as it’s designed for a male body (albeit a very scrawny one), so if it’s a dress but it’s a men’s garment and I wore it, would I be cross dressing? Who is crossing who? I am confused 
but I’m always happy to be confused by David Bowie

Offline That ugly cartoon drawing is likely inspired by “Running Gun Blues”, and the inclusion of the clock tower suggests that Bowie was also thinking of Charles Whitman.

I have a sudden urge to draw David Bowie as a bottle of salad dressing – be right back…
also I did not mean to thank Fiddy’s post 209 times – in my defense, it made me laugh…

I doubt a thank appears eight times by accidentally clicking once.
