For those that know me best, they cannot/will not be surprised to see music clues dropped in my puzzles for good measure. Yes, even certain elite solvers have created a game wherein they created the most stereotypical BEQ music clue: {Third-generation ska/blorp jazz sextet with the novelty viral video “It’s Flag Day (And I Love You)”}, e.g. These people will not be surprised by a certain marquee entry in today’s grid; instead, they will be asking, “what took me so long?” These same people still will probably be surprised to hear that I happen to think a certain other marquee entry in the grid is some top-flight songwriting. (That’s right I said it.) I will leave discovering what these two marquee entries are as an exercise to the solver.
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
The clue for 32-A is wrong. The president is Biden, not Reid.
No crossword solver puzzle?
Great stacks, BEQ.. but I have to give a big assist to my pre-teen daughter… she plays 1-A every time we get in the car… ugh, now I have the earworm! Ack!
So I tested your teen street cred on my 13yo grandaughter and her friend. I had no idea for 1A so I showed them the puzzle on Mon. when they were over for dinner. She, her friend and her 10yo brother knew it immediately and proceeded to describe the twisty ending to the video. I picked the puzzle up today and had completely forgotten the answer. In my defense I was having a pre dinner scotch rocks on Mon. It took a while to reconstruct (I started with CAN I), but I got it. 49A, however, was a gimme as I do pay attention to current events. Really liked the puzzle as usual.
