I’M WITH THE BANNED: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Title first for this one came first and then I got the set that makes up today’s puzzle. Actually that’s not true. The title was a theme answer for a completely different puzzle concept that I scrapped, but then well, this gimmick screamed out as a much more interesting concept. Okay, I’m not being entirely truthful. There was a completely different theme idea first, and through developing that theme, I stumbled upon a different gimmick which lead to the I’M WITH THE BANNED answer which lead to this puzzle. You see, my mind is sort of like the movie “Inception,” but instead of dreams within dreams, it’s puzzles within puzzles within puzzles. It’s an echo chamber of puzzle-related lunacy. Even trivial every day things like oh, I don’t know, grocery shopping or doing laundry trigger puzzle ideas, and by extension, puzzles within puzzles within puzzles, etc., etc. My mind is a dangerous place.
Like I always say: “Don’t do drugs. Be drugs!”
Have you signed up for Marching Bands yet? You have? Great! You haven’t yet? Okay, fine, clicky click and make it so.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Good one.
I really enjoyed this puzzle, even though I really don’t know much about rock groups/singers. I got WOODY HERMIT first, which unlocked things. I’m impressed and delighted by the word-play and the fact that there are six themers.
