I wonder what the results would be if he showed the earlier generations too. I'm Gen X, but I'd probably be lost trying to identify more than a handful of songs by Sinatra or Elvis or Chuck Berry.

Millennials and Gen Zers both know My Heart Will Go On and I bet Gen Xers do too, but what about Boomers? Do older generations know that life is demanding without understanding?

The fact that my heart will go on was in titantic means people will know that song forever.

I didn't get it until I solved the clue clues (the revealer I guess in xword speak). Even then I had to remind myself over and over to stop pursuing impossible answers. I got the hawn answer and a couple others before then, but nothing clicked.

The constructor tweeted that she went back and forth over whether to include the clue to the puzzle, but decided that average solvers might want it. I am thus decidedly average.

Look I'll let you keep having your fun even though mine is ruined. No promises if you cross the Suzi Quatro line.

speaking of which, my Saturday paper never arrived last weekend, so it was the first time I did the puzzle online. I usually just do it Friday , Saturday and Sunday, since that's when I get the NYT. But since I was signed up, I started doing it every day. Now I've got a six day streak and I have to decide whether to keep it going or just get back in the habit of finding some free time with the paper to fill it out in print, which I enjoy.

We don't get the paper so we always do it on iPad. You do lose something but it makes fixing screw ups easier...and I like the pen vs pencil function...and the nice little hit when you get the 'yep you got it!' pop up at completion.

And I'm glad she kept it because I'd have had zero chance without the revealer. I brute forced the top right corner and was completely clueless on the rest until I finished the clue.

I'd do well with stuff before my time. In the last few years I've mostly lost touch with new music.

I confirmed this by watching beat shazam last night.

My musical tastes apparently froze in my early 30s since that's the latest music that I can recognize upon listening. Probably why I tell Alexa to play 2000s music for me all the time.
