Beautiful Bowie: The Man Who Fell to Earth

In honor of Bowie's triumphant return and in celebration of his birthday yesterday, I got to digging up some of my favorite photos of his glory days (though, don't get me wrong, he is still glorious). I love him especially in The Man Who Fell to Earth, which I think is very reflective of who he really is, a beautiful alien.

This is David Bowie's very first day in the United States. Jersey to be specific. That's it, nothing else tying these images together. Just purdy, is all.
