Dino Me (as explained in the prior post)! Number 61 on the PBWMC Leaderboard. Still conferring with the grandkids on our approach to Easter Eggs.

Dino me! I forgot about the "Easter egg" until I came here, but I still don't see it...

That's amore. Ooops, wrong Dino.
Since I was not among those who sussed out the answer with only half the grid filled, since in fact I had to do a bit of Googling to get to the "Aha" moment (more like an "Oh, yeah, I remember hearing about that one" moment), I'm not even going to try hunting for the egg.

...kind of, pending confirmation. Little Miss submit-first-think-later submitted her first not-so-bright idea. As soon as I hit send, the "more better" answer occurred to me. When will I learn to enforce my mandatory waiting period before submitting?

No matter, Will is much more forgiving about those things than Pete/Matt/WSJ.

EDIT: Second entry confirmed, as was Will's very forgiving nature regarding doofus first guesses.

Dino Me... Glad to see the explanation for that, since I missed it when it was suggested. Don't always get to the Pandora Puzzle and when I do get to it, I rarely actually solve it. Glad to be here tonight.

Dino me.

Solved

Well I know I got the Meta (and if I had not I had better hang up my meta hat) and the Easter Egg - we will see. This was a lot easier than last week when I ended up chasing my colorful tail. I was focusing on DEEP PURPLE, "Who do we think we are" because Purple is the "other" color of the rainbow that people fight about. Will put me straight about my incorrect answer and chastened me to look to the colors. I tired the track position of the songs to help me pick out a letter from the entries, and that worked for about 5 of the 7 entries but really gave me garbage. Finally it hit me, 7 colors, 7 songs, but song "colors" not sequential in the spectrum colors...could it be. Yep.

Thankfully this weeks was either all of them or none of them - made it less colorful but no less fun. But now I have nothing to worry about until tomorrows MMM.

Late to the game, with apologies. Links will be available for Pandora's Blocks' metas going forward.

It's Pretty
and it's Black & White

and last week's ... when I saw the various artists and songs in the clues/grid, I almost didn't try. Then I googled one or two of the albums and went ... hmmm ... and googled the rest and immediately went to Pink Floyd's second best album of all time (The Wall being the best), one of my faves, so I didn't even need the ECLIPSE reference in there ...

DINO ME early yesterday. I did not post yet because I was trying to find the Easter egg. The only thing close that I have found relates to another sub forum. And does not really match there either.
