Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼Since both long across entries involved pop culture, I figured I’d explicate one of them. k.d. lang and Radiohead are contemporaries — Radiohead’s first U.S. single, “Creep,” also dates to 1992 — and I can’t get 31A out of my head at this point so I figured I wouldn’t inflict that on you. But Radiohead, a band that is still around and labeled by some a 21st-century Beatles, is also commonly labeled ALTERNATIVE ROCK. It’s a bit odd; usually college bands and less popular “sleeper” acts fit this category, and Radiohead sells out huge stadiums. But it’s definitely not your typical Top-40 band. Now I’ve got 31A plus this track duking it out between my ears.
