Bowie, having just turned 40 the year the album was released, was a common sight on magazine covers during the year. He appeared alongside Tina Turner on the cover of In Fashion magazine (to the tagline 'Forever cool'), Musician magazine and on the cover of Rolling Stone's US 20th Anniversary "Style" issue, part of a series of contemporary photographs of Bowie taken by famed photograph Herb Ritts. Additionally, articles about Bowie's album and tour appeared inside such teen-oriented publications such as Mademoiselle and Teen magazines, with the former calling Bowie "a leading candidate for the coolest character in rock."

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or image:
“Cole’s Hill was the scene of the secret night burials of those who died during the first year of the settlement. Corn was planted over their graves so that the Indians should not know how many of their number had perished.”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“O love, my love! if I no more should see
Thyself, nor on the earth the shadow of thee,
Nor image of thine eyes in any spring,—
How then should sound upon Life’s darkening slope
The ground-whirl of the perished leaves of Hope,
The wind of Death’s imperishable wing?”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
