Lacivious lavender lute. Pretty sure that painting is hanging in the Vatican.

When Alice Cooper haunts your dreams but you’re really more of an Enya fan.

Time to lute and pillage.
Anybody know what conditioner he uses to get glowing hair?

@Cornelius: Ultra Sheen?

In between albums, the members of Styx did a lot of posing (for cover illustrations).

That artist has no idea of what a lute looks like. Where’s the fret? How can the aging Jimmy hold it like that?

Dad cloud is sharply critical of his long hair and free-roaming lutist lifestyle.

Another good book with a bad cover.
I think those clouds are of the cumulodoofus variety.
@Tor; GSS! I knew it was reminding me strongly of something, and that is it!
I am in a smol pit of depression/apathy (the GLOOM that came to…), and you lot are a bright spot in my day.

I often see faces in clouds, but if I ever see anything that vivid, I’ll know those were the “special” chocolate chip cookies my friends brought over and not the “no surprises” cookies designated for me and the kids…

I see Raphael, Leonardo, and Michaelangelo…. But Donatello is missing.

@GSSxn—
GSS has helped me over more than one rough patch. Hang in there. As Steely Dan sez:
When the demon is at your door
In the morning he won’t be there
No more
Any major dude will tell you

@GSSxN: may I attempt to lift your spirits with a well earned GSS! for “cumulodoofus”? The doofuses (doofi?) have certainly accumulated on this cover.
“Cumulodoofus” has described more than a bit of NJ weather this year.

@GSSxn: I hope you are feeling better. I just want you to know that my day is not complete until I check back here to see your comments and see how you sum up the thread.
August 3rd, 2023 at 11:57 pm
Aww, thanks guys. Am doing somewhat better today. No crying. I think GSS gets us all through bad days.
@BC: Now I am earwormed, but I like the Dan.
@Tor: Double thanks! I’m often sorry that I get here so late that all the good jokes are gone and wonder if anyone reads my comments.

@GSS x-n: I rely on your comments/expertise when looking at a cover that’s got me completely baffled. Which is most of the time.

@Emster: As I rely on the comments before mine. It takes a village to even begin to analyze these.
