@Barry Ancona. Yikes. I’m embarrassed. The clues were complete mysteries to me. Couldn’t finish without hitting “reveal” for most of the answers, not just the names. Never would have gotten the answers without help. Oh well.
Yikes. Total mystery. Staring at all white. Could not finish. A worthy Saturday puzzle! Thanks. Peter.
For me a challenge, but ultimately solvable step by step, across here, down there, building slowly, just the way I like it! Really enjoyed this one. Thanks!
One of the most satisfying NYT puzzles I’ve done over the last few years. Challenging, had to build it brick by brick, but clues that made sense, fresh words but not arcane … thank you!
I don’t understand “popdiva” as someone known for her runs?
Fun. SW corner totally stumped me. Thanks to NYT for the answer key! Great debut!
Why do we refer to puzzles as “chewy”?
So the missing “once” across does not work on the down entries?
@Barry Ancona. Totally insufficient explanation. Linkage way too obscure. This kind of bad cluing sours me on the whole puzzle.
@Brennan - Somehow that fact eluded the layers and layers of fact checkers at the Old Gray Lady.
Glam band from the 80s that is hair metal? Are you kidding me? Who could possibly know that?
@Jill I thought he said Adele Gazeem. A real howler that night.
