![]() I don't like the word as an answer but I thought it was well-clued - I had atpeACE first but, really wanting MBA. All of the SW and most of the SE were in but I had to finish the NE and come back down to get NEXXUS In order to get UNBRACED. Had weasel before GRAMPS but with MIME being obvious from ANEMONE, that didn't last long. If you've seen Tommy, you probably know that it's a really loose story that feels far more like a concept album than a stage production.įirst in was MICE crossing RAM and SEA ANEMONE. I could be wrong here, but I also think the JCS concept record was released specifically to raise money for the staging, whereas Tommy was just a Who record that seemed stageable. Both started out as concept albums, but JCS was staged a year after its release, whereas Tommy wasn't staged until 1992 (the movie was in 1975). There is no meta reason for it to be R&R as in Hair.īonus Factoid: JCS is considered the first of its kind even though Tommy predated it by a year. First, because there are no spoken lines so it is truly operatic, but second, the music is rock and roll from the inside out. On the other hand, Jesus Christ Superstar is a true rock opera. So while the music is "rock and roll," it's only because the show is about rock and om the outside in, if you will. It is a musical about the pop culture of the time that included songs in the style of the hippy culture. MARENGO looks like it ought to be one of those Latin dances from Brazil or something ALBENIZ would compose.įactoid: As for "Hair" being a rock isn't, technically. I found I really had to be on my toes.nothing was a given even though it looked like it. The clue misdirection is 's all fair.which made the solve very satisfying when I finished.ĪLLINall (ALLINONE), nOdeAl (LOGJAM), MutE (MIME), rockopera (TITLESONG), franc (EUROS), GRAMma (GRAMPS), and on and on. ![]() ![]() I think Jeff Chen's write up about the puzzle at xword nails the heart and soul of this puzzle.
