THEME: last letter of a two-word phrase is E; first letter of second word Z
GOOD ONES:
This crossword, literally for some, phonetically for all EASY PUZZLE
Shepard in space ALAN
Made a hue turn? DYED
Short market lines? UPC [bar code]
Hit a Target? SHOP [note capital T]
Head of Paris? TETE
Big one on set, perhaps EGO
BTW:
Pound and Eliot in the same puzzle is a nice touch. Stravinsky and Ibsen also tap our prouder culture, but then there's "Scooby-Doo" and The Zombies --- to keep from being too stodgy I suppose. At least I wasn't asked to name a rap star.
Mechanic, at times GREASER [yes, but with Wednesday morning quarterbacking I thought Vinnie Barbarino or The Fonze might have been richer --- maybe "Pomade user" or "Jersey Shore progenitor"]
RATING: ;D ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
