I managed to inadvertently nudge someone else before having solved 
But was shown what was my “British behind” and what was my elbow by the ever-patient @ajk

I see something, but it could be a red herring. Either way, I’m not sure what to do with it. Can I get a nudge?
Please and thank you.
Edit: saw the answer before I got the nudge. Yay!

Enjoyed the puzzle and the meta.
But not sure how the title, answer, and meta all relate to each other.
Anyone willing to PM me?

On the board. Agree with others that the grid was TOUGH. But the meta was... (the 'E' word).

Just as I was about to PM someone for a nudge, I looked again. But yes, that left-center territory required some Googling. I knew neither Florence nor her machine, ditto the Indian caves, and the clue for the entry in between was cute but flawed.

If someone has a gentle nudge, I could use one. I have a couple different tracks that seem to lead nowhere

Solving this one kinda bummed me out, as I had been working on the same mechanism (with a much tighter answer) for possible submission to the big leagues.

Isn't November supposed to be the hardest MMMM? Maybe I just got lucky.
That left center section of the grid though - just couldn't get any traction on.
On the mega-meta front, I found exactly what I expected to find and still don't know what to do with it to get any 70s songs.

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Yes! A little too well in fact, we have to come up creative ways to keep him awake during mealtime.

I'm thinking I might need a little hint for this one! If someone wants to send me a message that would be greatly appreciated!

I am drawing a complete blank. I could definitely use a nudge if anyone cares to message me.

Tough grid and had to let it sit for a few days...took a fresh look at it this morning, saw a path, and got it! Nice after missing the October one (and August).

This one popped right out for me for some reason.

Nice seeing familiar muggle names show up on Pete’s write-up, esp @MikeyG (of course!) showing up in the groaners… I groaned too
