Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Tuesday June 2, 2024 - The name's Fleck, BELA Fleck. 🪕🎶
Today's crossword (by Josh Goodman, his second!) is an homage to one of Alabe Craft / Ideal Toy / Mattel's greatest inventions, the Magic 8 Ball 😀.
There were quite a few pop-culture references today -- 28D, Actress Diane of 1998's Parenthood, WEIST; 35A, Estefan with a Presidential Medal of Freedom, EMILIO; and the aforementioned 32D, Banjoist Fleck, BELA (quite good, btw: check them out wherever you get your banjo music!).
Show note imagery: The Flecktones, starring BELA Fleck.
