Based on Wallis' painting of the death of Chatterton (as a surrogate for Pete no doubt), the absence of a head on the model kind of makes it poignant in that the death goes unseen.<BR/><BR/>Great album by the way......moving, catchy, not maudlin at all but also not a whitewash.

Particularly when compared to Polly Harvey's new album cover, which in one simple photograph conveys more poetry and anguish than all of Doherty's lyrics thrown together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-34780547469875290562007-09-29T15:04:00.000+00:002007-09-29T15:04:00.000+00:00Ah, but what would Shambles/Dirty Pretty Things ar...Ah, but what would Shambles/Dirty Pretty Things artwork be without a random naked woman?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
