I am too predictable. David Bowie YouTube clip (okay, technically Queen with Bowie) posted with today’s puzzle alongside a gratuitous Bowie ref in the 6-Down clue. Or maybe it’s not gratuitous. You tell me. Whatever, let’s make it two YouTube clips today, shall we?

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
