Please go down to the busiest intersection in your city with a pen and paper and ask 1000 random people if they know what an "Eli" is, and afterwards, when literally not one person has said yes and probably 970 of them have just stared at you in bemusement, please consider not using this alleged word in crosswords anymore.

I thought the theme was fine, but "jake," ironically, was not fine. Why would you expect people to know slang from the 1930s..??

Didn't finish. The circles appeared just fine, but so too did the various unpleasantly obscure clues.

Yet another sunday where i had to Check Puzzle because of literally one letter-- in this case because of "joggle," which you invented just now for this puzzle.

Lola answer is flat-out wrong-- it's "lo-lo-lo-lo," not "la-la-la-la." Listen to the song, google the lyrics, it's right there.
