eggheaded

But you don’t win presidential races with eggheaded formulations featuring the words decidedly and esoteric.

It remained delightfully eggheaded until the Village Voice featured the colloquium as its ���pick of the week” and more than 2,000 people descended on Columbia for the event.

Almost exactly halfway through “Utopia Avenue” there’s a scene in which a pompous eggheaded interviewer criticizes the band for being “schizophrenic,” its music a disorienting pastiche of “acid rock, folk with acid effects, R&B, folk interludes, passages of jazz.”

Deep warmth courses through even the most eggheaded appraisal.

“It takes great technical and historical knowledge to pull off this feat. Bedford obviously has both. For example, his shadow-drenched ‘Humpty Dumpty at Notre Dame,’ in which an eggheaded statue replaces the usual brooding gargoyle, caricatures Charles Nègre’s seminal 1850s series on the architectural details of Notre Dame.”
