Everybody likes money, right? And everybody likes music? Well, if that's so, then everybody will like today's theme of ordinary phrases describing royalties for specific singers. As in:
WONDERBREAD (Royalties from Stevie's "Superstition"?)
YOUNGBUCKS (Royalties from Neil's "Heart of Gold"?)
PETTYCASH (Royalties from Tom's "Free Fallin'"?)
WHITEPAPER (Royalties from Barry's "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe"?)
and the revealer of sorts
SOUNDCHECKS (Royalties for any musician?)
It's a solid theme. I laughed at the INANITY, and who doesn't enjoy money being called "paper." ("She want a whole lotta somethin' to fold.")
I really like the blocks of sevens running down in each corner. I put the ranking as SE, NW, NE, SW, with the trio of BIPOLAR (Like magnets), ITERATE (Go over again), and GYRATED (Danced like Elvis) being the strongest.
There's a symmetrical French pairing in Côte d'AZUR (French Riviera) and NAIF (Innocent sort). And what the heck is FROSE (Slushy summer drink portmanteau)? Frozen sewage? No, wait, I looked it up. It's actually frosé, and that makes it sound a lot more appetizing, doesn't it? I might seek that out.
OK, on that note, let's wrap this up. I don't want you to be LAT for work.
Fun theme, decent grid.
