@Harry, old french coin similar to a penny.

@Katie I thought the homophone might have to do with lede lead.

@SP originally from southern indiana here (Connersville), so I also enjoyed the reds call out.

@Helen Wright Unum is latin for one. The motto on the one dollar bill is e pluribus unum, out of many one.

@CB I went for prep initially!

@lucky13 I hadn't put it together until today, but there is a Thai beer called Singha which has a lion logo. It all makes sense now!

@Rachel from Cornwall Hold me closer Tony Danza

@Ace Excellent! That gave me a good laugh, thanks!

@Michelle Botwinick I'm with you. Thought the exact same thing.

@TazTheGreat Same

Southwest corner stumped me for a bit but then realised it was 'bend the rules' rather than 'bend the truth'.

@Amy, agreed. I was going to ask this. I like to do the archived Sunday crosswords, and they were definitely harder in the past.

@sotto voce Yes, I agree re rock ballads. It is quite stark contrast from the beauty of Patience to what comes next on the album.

@Steve L While your chronology is undoubtedly correct, for those who heard the song post 78 would be the ones that would have misheard it, no?

@Andrzej I love the fact that your knowledge of 'getting to 3rd base' is based on a baseball analogy of which you have no knowledge of! Excellent!

@V I got the rebus quickly because when I saw pop top my first thought was bottle cap, then the down clue made sense as well.

@Julia Record for me

@Bryan I was convinced 1A was conversed on first look and confidently put it in. Obviously, all the downs didn't work...

@Jane Wheelaghan United States Tennis Association

@Nancy PR for me too but quite a bit slower than you, 6:23

@Gareth Ha! I didn't even realise it as I got the crosses and didn't look at the clue or answer! But agreed, it is always there.

@MG F I started with WNBA there.

@WhySoMad? I'm in London, so I watched the replay first then did the puzzle. Very pleased Bears won! Spent a lot of time in Chicago before moving to London. I'm originally from Indiana, so I hope my Colts can do a job on the Vikes to tighten race in NFC North. Sorry DYT.

@RichardZ I went to straight to Kyra as she is the only Sedgwick actress I know, and it reminded me of that great 90s film 'Singles', with all the great cameos from the grunge movement! I think that is the only film I have ever seen her in.
