Tough grid, but c'mon meta. Par for the course.
There wasn't a "Whole lotta shakin goin on" , "JustSome Motion" this morning in New Jersey this morning. Magnitude 4.8 at 10:23 AM about 40 km away.
EASY is redacted!?
C'mon
There is n-o-t-h-i-n-g remotely spoiler-like about it.
I had difficulty filling the top part of the grid, but the bottom part of the grid was relatively easy. My expected answers to the bottom two themers gave me the last word. The first word was obvious and helped me fill the top part of the grid. If you know the answer after filling in less than a third of the grid, that's an EASY meta mechanism.
Hint: It's a children's song! E-I-E-I-O Duh
