Although musically closer to traditional rock n' roll and punk, the band have been cited as a major influence in the glam metal genre for bands such as Guns N' Roses, Skid Row and Poison.Īccording to Finnish radio and TV personality Jone Nikula, who was the band’s tour manager in the 2000s, Hanoi Rocks’s albums have sold between 780,000 and 1,000,000 copies around the world, but mostly in Scandinavia and Japan.įinland’s major export to the world of heavy metal, Hanoi Rocks drew much of their sound and inspiration from ‘70s glam rock and were thought by some to have fused the two styles more successfully than similar acts such as Mötley Crüe. Original vocalist Michael Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy reunited in 2001 with a new lineup that lasted until 2009. The band broke up in June 1985 after the drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley died in a car accident during their first US tour in December 1984. They were the first Finnish band to chart in the UK and they were also popular in Japan. Some sources also credit Drebbel with inventing the world’s first thermostat, so I’m truly perplexed how he’s flown under my radar until today.Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish rock band formed in 1979. I’d never heard of him until now either, but he seemed like a genuinely fascinating person and his name bailed me out of a real jam.

Something else I learned from writing this puzzle: that goblin sharks and vampire squids exist. Somehow the much more common crossword answer SASS didn’t end up in this puzzle to take one of those clues.

58D is ATTITUDE and right next to it at 59D is WHINING, both clued as.

This phrase owes its popularity to the film “Anchorman,” when Ron Burgundy said that after an all-out brawl between TV news reporters.

15D: is “ THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY.” The second of the two 20-letter answers.

4D: is “ DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.” One of the two 20-letter answers in this puzzle.

Here’s a music video of their song “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.” I hadn’t heard of them before writing this puzzle. Here’s a picture of Widgeon, if you were curious. Even though there isn’t a 1 in a deck of cards, could be a valid clue for PITCHER (assuming it’s a good pitcher). It could even work for all positions, including the pitcher who’s numbered as 1. It’s an inside joke that I realize might not land with every solver, but the phrase felt too on-the-nose for me to keep it out. If you’ve ever heard the phrase “6-4-3 double play,” it means the shortstop (6) fields the ball after it was hit and throws to the second baseman (4), who then throws to the first baseman (3). The way it works is that each of the nine players in the field is referred to by a number from 1 to 9. The “diamonds” is a fairly standard pun signal for baseball in crosswords, but the “6″ is less clear. Now, I can imagine this clue might be a bit confusing if you don’t follow baseball closely. She’s also the first Hmong American to win Olympic gold. For instance, in the film, the Queen of Hearts scolds Alice by shouting, “Look up, speak nicely, and don’t twiddle your fingers!” But the Queen of Hearts doesn’t say that in “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Instead it’s the Red Queen who said it in “Through the Looking-Glass.” The animated Disney film from 1951 combined aspects of the Red Queen with the Queen of Hearts even though Lewis Carroll wrote them as two different characters.

Here’s a word I’ve grown to love ever since I first went to a barcade in Philadelphia over a decade ago. I’d also added “I HATE THIS PART” and the grid might have accommodated that one too, but we’re sticking with a positive message here. 64A: is “ I LOVE THIS PART.” This is one of those conversational phrases that I randomly added to my word list a while back, never knowing exactly when I’d need it.They’re often just there to give donors a simple thank-you message, but that may be enough to motivate donors to call in. That’s if it’s a celebrity telethon, although the celebrities typically aren’t the ones doing the work of taking down credit card information for confirming the donation. It’s not an official rule, but there’s a good case to be made that whenever you have an answer that hints at the Onion, you’re required by law to include one of its headlines.

I named my cat after her, but - let’s be honest - she’s got a ways to go before she attains status as a supreme being who can learn entire languages in a few days, beat up an entire room full of hostile aliens like a one-cat wrecking crew, and save the universe. I learned just now that they’re also vodka cocktails with a lemon flavor.
