I was wondering about ASE, but yes, enzymes are chemical entities. with the exception that, having never heard of FUN (appropriate, huh?) or LOWES, I had to Google singer/actress Lola. The phrase used to clue ISAAC_NEWTON could just as well have been said by ISAAC_ASIMOV, but I ultimately sorted out the southwest section. It was interesting to learn that Gray and Carla Michaels have never met in person, and that this entire collaboration was conducted via e-mail. The NYT had been looking up of late, so I guess we were due for some regression. in an OLD CAR stuck in a RUT kind of way. PRIMROSES and ISAAC NEWTON ( 67D: Who said "Aristotle is my friend - but my greatest friend is truth") give this thing some color, but otherwise, this thing is a throwback, and not in a charming retro way. EINE ASE UAL and on and on, with UKASE being the real cherry on the top. NODS TO (which is somehow not NODS AT) (see also the dupe in the clue for SIGNAL-). You just have to find symmetrical phrases and put them in the grid. You could replicate this theme infinitely. But then you get nutso stuff like FUN SMASHING PUMPKINS (I think the puzzle would've been Much much better off had it been More nutso.) and then clunky awkward stuff like CHICAGO TRAIN (?) and ONE-DIRECTION TRAFFIC.
BOSTON CREAM PIE COMPONENT CROSSWORD FREE
POISON FREE and RUSH THE DOORS and BOSTON CREAM are straightforward, normal phrases. It's not like the clues or makeshift answers are funny. Anyway, it's not hard to get the conceit, and after that, it's just a matter of "Have I heard of these bands?" (FREE was the only one I just don't know. I've seen this done with movies, too, I think ("Double Features"?).
