I'm not mad.

Never liked him nor his music, so this cover does nothing for me. What a weird choice for the Best Dressed List issue! I find the distinct lack of coverlines more intriguing.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^ LOVE him, but for this issue he truly is a random choice!! This looks like any of the other issues, which is a shame since Sept Style Issue was a huge let down as well!

I thought it was time for a guy to get the cover, but I wouldn't have expected to see Bruce Springsteen. At least he's lived a life and might have something worth saying, even if he's not really someone I'd spend much time looking at.

 

[Luxx]

Iconic musician and typically quite private, he makes for a wonderful choice. Unlike a lot of other celebrities he isn’t overexposed and I’m actually interested in this memoir for exactly that reason. Given the election year and his history of creating music with a political undertone it seems like a good time to have him on the cover.

Wow.

This is utterly unexpected and fantastic!

Bruce is an American icon and has certainly lived a life worthy of a memoire. Can't wait to read this piece!

can't wait to get this either!

nice but not for the international best dressed list

 

[Bobby153]

urghh, this is terrible. What is this magazine's obsession with putting dead celebrities on their cover...wait...

Lol, I'm prepared to accept that this will sell tons for Americans, but maybe not so much in the UK? I mean, he's not the Queen.

 

[SpeakThatJDunn]

Who and Why?

 

[Marc10]

Who and Why?

Are you serious?

 

[A.D.C.]

Still sexy...

 

[TaylorBinque]

Not a bad cover at all. But it baffles me when people use "who? or why?" with such an icon here. At least he is not a Kardashian and I'm all for it.

 

[Fiercification]

Are you serious?

MTE, educate yourself IMO!

Bow to Bruce, no to Annie. I suppose it had to be. Interested to read the article once it surfaces.

I think people are so used to fashion magazines and their pursuit of youth, that it's easy to forget that some publications have a slightly different demographic.

I'm old by the standards of this forum, and my mother loves Bruce Springsteen. I was a teenager in the UK when his tours and albums were a big thing. He's kept a lower profile for many years, but there are still plenty of people who can remember him as a worldwide icon of Americana. They're just several decades years older than the people (not) buying i-D. Maybe it's a smart move to market your magazine to the age groups that'll still bother to get a copy.

 

[Phuel]

I’ve been playing “I’m On Fire” all summer…

Bruce Springsteen on the cover of a magazine— even one as dire as American Vanity Fair and as tired a pose as one conceived by Leibovitz, for best dressed is perfection. They got that right, at least. He is eternal in his beat 'em up Levi's and Hanes what tee-- like James Dean and Marlon Brando.

Right on tiger-- he is a part of Americana.
