Pending confirmation, but pretty sure I’ve got this one solved.

Hooray! Confirmed!

One of my favorites this year. Bravissimo, Pete!

Solved! Nothing a good night's sleep couldn't dislodge!

Got it.

On the board.

On the board.

One thing I'll say about Pete's puzzles, I usually learn something along the way. But I'll say no more til post-deadline

Not familiar with the meta movement. Had the answer sitting in front of me about an hour after the puzzle came out, but didn't realize it until I got back into it this evening. Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks.

My experience exactly. It was staring at me for what seemed like hours.

Got it! Nice one

I too had to be educated. I had the right strategy, but my limited cultural knowledge prevented me from seeing what I had.

Didn't see this right away, but it finally came to me. Nice construction and I learned something new. Safely on shore. (Now if I could only see the WSJ meta...)

Sometimes you see it and you don’t see it.

Ugh. I think I may need to ask for a hint-let.
I found something, but it's not going anywhere.

I'll let it percolate a little longer ...

Like others, I had it long before I realized it. Learned something new, as well. Happy to have solved this meta and the Red Herring!!

I figured out the first step quite fast, and reading other's comments I might even have the answer already but I just can't see it.

What's throwing me off is the word "movement". In music, movement can mean a ton of different things. Don't even know what to Google for.

Finally! Thanks to a nudge.
I was super close, but one of the pieces was a incorrectly parsed, so unsolvable.

Now the comments above make sense.

I have RIOTGRRRL written down in five minutes or so but I dismissed it as gibberish, and tried to find a different answer for hours. Argh, this one hurts.

Wow... I did not finish this one but was not expecting that answer. Since I didn't submit I couldn't express my amazement that IRONORE wasn't clued toward "the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".

Guessing this is one where my age was a big help in solving- I feel older or younger solvers may not have immediately realized the answer.

I can speak for this older solver. I had the answer spelled out pretty quickly but dismissed it as pure gibberish. Well, to be perfectly honest I had RITOGRRRL written out because apparently I can't even count this week. But I finally consulted the wonderfully helpful @Wendy Walker, who told me to look at what I had right in front of me. And wonder of wonders, when I typed RITOGRRRL into google, it helpfully prompted RIOT GRRRL BANDS.

Never heard of it.
