In 1983, Bowie told Rolling Stone writer Kurt Loder that his public declaration of bisexuality was "the biggest mistake I ever made" and "I was always a closet heterosexual". On other occasions, he said his interest in homosexual and bisexual culture had been more a product of the times and the situation in which he found himself than of his own feelings. Blender asked Bowie in 2002 whether he still believed his public declaration was his biggest mistake. After a long pause, he said, "I don't think it was a mistake in Europe, but it was a lot tougher in America. I had no problem with people knowing I was bisexual. But I had no inclination to hold any banners nor be a representative of any group of people." Bowie said he wanted to be a songwriter and performer rather than a headline for his bisexuality, and in "puritanical" America, "I think it stood in the way of so much I wanted to do."

Hola Bowie. Soy yo. Tú único oyente. Desde hace 56 años he creado la ilusión de que te escucha, odia, idolatra y sigue mucha gente, pero siempre he sido yo. Toda la gente que ha ido a tus conciertos son actores pagados por mi, los medios de comunicación también. Ahora te escribo este mensaje desde todas mis cuentas para avisarte que me alegra que seas un hombre estrella esperándome en el cielo

Your thoughts are as good as anyone's but I think The Next Day is powerful from an album artwork standpoint. It takes one of his most iconic pieces of album artwork & strips it of everything important & memorable. They took an empty vessel, the embalmed cadaver of the artistic peak of his career — the Berlin period, which the 'Heroes' cover is effectively an effigy of — & made THAT the symbol of the album. The Next Day feels a lot like Bowie beginning to recognize his life was not getting any longer, & thus recalling his life & career as well as his isolation & retreat from the public, as well as creative affairs in general, after his health issues on A Reality Tour. It's intentionally derivative but in a way that actually says something of its own. I don't think many 66 year old musical artists would voluntarily choose artwork that desecrates a career-defining image of theirs.

Not all of his covers are genius (dude had 26 studio albums — not every cover is going to be perfect) but I think many of them are highly underrated. Since his primary method of creation was music, he & those around him probably felt it was best to leave graphic design/packaging & album artwork to professionals. It worked well, considering Aladdin Sane's cover is basically THE photo of him people remember, as well as the covers for Ziggy Stardust & Heroes. & there's memorable covers in Earthling, Hunky Dory, & a couple others. Frankly, getting professional visual artists is a better choice from a business standpoint than doing it yourself, no matter how cool it sounds artistically. But I do agree with you, on a purely creative standpoint it would've been cool to see him do his own artwork (like Joni Mitchell did) but with more varied influences like Die Brücke, Egon Schiele, Dadaism, etc.

I never really expected perfection. I remember seeing Bowie's artwork and how creatively driven they were; they were some stunning pieces. I later listened to one of his albums and thought, "Why is this cover just him sitting down? What about all the emotion and detail of his art." From your other post, you were right to consider Bowie's perspective on the cover; I was thinking from a consumer standpoint.
