erwbol Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 Not as obviously smug as some previous offenders. Quote
ejp626 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 NO.......BTW is that a garter on his right thigh?......cue for a new thread?? I'm going with a strap for a knife he uses to fight off sharks. Or groupies. Same difference. Quote
Royal Oak Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) As smug as you'll get 'em......... Holy crap! Edited February 25, 2013 by rdavenport Quote
Dan Gould Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 For the record I am with Mike Weil, a lot of these don't strike me as 'smug at all. But my contribution, and Guitar Watson definitely fit. Quote

But my contribution, and Guitar Watson definitely fit. Your cover is not showing? Maybe you're right though. . Maybe personally, I just have a highly sensitive paranoid 'smug' meter that goes off in my head. Perhaps anyone mugging for the camera with a happy and content face can be projected onto as 'smug'. So maybe a bit of 'poetic' licence to the term smug. But every time I look at these covers and think of 'smug' I can't help laughing. Especially those Classical ones Now that Mahavishnu/Devadip album. That is the worst kind of 'smug'. It is 'passive aggressive' smug . I have involuntarily sworn at that cover ever since I first seen it when I was about 14. Thank God they marginalised Larry Young on the packaging/project Orrin Keepnews is the winner. I agree. Rieu is 'smug'. Jeez I hope his 15minutes are over. Not as obviously smug as some previous offenders. Why does David Murray always look stoned? Quote

But my contribution, and Guitar Watson definitely fit. Your cover is not showing? Sorry about that; not sure which one I had picked but it was a Robert Palmer cover. Any of them will do, since he's always looking at the camera thinking to himself "little old me scores some pretty hot chicks, life is good." Smugly. Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Tavener is always insufferably smug when doing his King Charles Spaniel impressions.. Edited February 26, 2013 by A Lark Ascending Quote
Royal Oak Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 You'd be smug if you could balance 3 inches of cigar ash...... Quote
JSngry Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 You'd be smug if you could balance 3 inches of cigar ash...... And that's the thing...I don't really consider it to be "smug" if you're representing the truth...it's kinda like the old "if you got it, flaunt it" thing. I got no real problem with that. To me, "smug" is more like when you're self-satisfied but somebody could easily come along an knock that smugass look off your face without too terribly much effort. So to that end, Johnny Guitar is just BAAAAAD, nothing smug about it. Did he in fact have the real mutha for ya'? Why yes, I believe he did! But this is not my game, so I'll play by the house rules.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 I saw him doing Babar in the music room at the Royal Pavillion, Brighton. Splendid! MG Quote

Yes indeed. Perhaps another thread entitled... 'album covers of badasses that lack humbleness, modesty and self-effacement' Quote
