Off the Grid: Sally breaks down USA TODAY's daily crossword puzzle, Starter Homes
There are spoilers ahead. You might want to solve today's puzzle before reading further! Starter Homes Constructor: Sala Wanetick Editor: Jared Goudsmit APPLE (1A: "I guess the ___ don't fall far from the tree" (Charli XCX lyric)) "I guess the APPLE don't fall far from the tree" is a line from Charli XCX's 2024 song "APPLE." This is a fun clue, because fans of Charli XCX will enjoy seeing the song referenced. However, the answer is still gettable for solvers not familiar with Charli XCX, since "the APPLE doesn't fall far from the tree" is a common idiom. ABBA (6A: "Mamma Mia" group) Mamma Mia is a jukebox musical featuring the songs of ABBA. I've seen Mamma Mia multiple times, both the stage production and the movie adaptation. As I was refreshing my memory about which ABBA songs were included in Mamma Mia, I noticed that ABBA favored repetition in their song titles: "Honey, Honey," "Money, Money, Money," "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!," and "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do." SOLID (13A: Like Mercury, but not mercury) Mercury (with a capital M) is a SOLID, rocky planet. However, mercury (with a lowercase m) is a silvery element that is a liquid (therefore not a SOLID) at standard temperature and pressure. I quite like this somewhat science-y clue. ALI (16A: Academy Award winner Mahershala) Mahershala ALI has won two Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor. In 2017, he received an Academy Award for his portrayal of Juan (a drug dealer who becomes a father figure to the film's main character) in the movie Moonlight. In 2019, Mahershala ALI received an Academy Award for his portrayal of Don Shirley (an African American pianist who hires an Italian American bouncer – played by Viggo Mortensen – as his driver) in the biographical movie Green Book. THC (21A: Psychoactive ingredient in pot brownies) Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the active ingredient in many weed gummies and other cannabis-infused edibles such as pot brownies. THC can induce a range of effects including, relaxation, euphoria, heightened sensory perception, and either decreased or increased anxiety. OSCAR (31A: Muppet who lives in a trash can) I'm a fan of the curmudgeonly OSCAR the Grouch who lives in a trash can on Sesame Street. OSCAR was originally performed by puppeteer Caroll Spinney (1933-2019), who also played Big Bird. Since 2018, OSCAR has been performed by Eric Jacobson. FUN (43A: "All I wanna do is have some ___ / I got a feelin' I'm not the only one" (Sheryl Crow lyric)) "All I Wanna Do" is a 1994 song by Sheryl Crow. "All I wanna do is have some FUN / I got a feelin' I'm not the only one..." Here's my FUN fact about Sheryl Crow: In the early 1980s, we both lived in Columbia, Missouri (though we didn't know each other). Sheryl Crow was a student at the University of Missouri at that time, and I was attending high school. SOUL (44A: 2020 Pixar film about a jazz musician) SOUL is a 2020 Pixar movie. The animated film focuses on the life of Joe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Foxx), a part-time music teacher who dreams of playing jazz full-time. After Joe's SOUL and body are accidentally separated, he must find a way to reunite them. SOUL won Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score. TNT (45A: "Inside the NBA" channel) Inside the NBA is a TNT show that does halftime and postgame analysis of NBA games. The show is hosted by Ernie Johnson, and analysis is currently provided by Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kenny Smith. EGGS (50A: Masala omelet ingredients) A masala omelet is an omelet variation associated with Indian cuisine. The main ingredients of the dish are EGGS, onions, green chilies, and tomatoes. MALI (56A: Landlocked West African country) MALI is (as the clue informs us) a landlocked country in West Africa. MALI is bordered by Algeria, Niger, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Guinea, and Senegal. The capital of MALI is Bamako. MACAROON (10D: Cookie often eaten during Passover) A MACAROON is a mounded cookie made with egg whites, sugar, and ground almonds; it often contains coconut. MACAROONs may be eaten during the Jewish holiday Passover, since they are kosher and do not contain leavening or flour. ASS (35D: Mule's dad) A mule is the offspring of a male donkey (aka ASS) and a female horse. GAMING (51D: Playing Minecraft, say) Minecraft is a sandbox game, a video game in which players have a chance to be creative and explore the world without a set objectives to accomplish. While GAMING, players can discover and extract raw materials, craft tools, and build things. SITTER (53D: Person looking after pets) My cat, Willow, is not a fan of being left with a SITTER, and she always has a lot to say about it afterwards. LGA (64D: Airport near JFK) John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) both serve the New York City (NYC) Metropolitan area. Both JFK and LGA are located in the NYC borough of Queens, about 10 miles apart from each other. OBI (65D: ___-Wan Kenobi) This clue has me wondering which Star Wars character shows up in crosswords most often. Is it OBI-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Yoda, Luke Skywalker...? A few other clues I especially enjoyed: PLURAL (3D: Like "geese" and "cacti") ABACUS (6D: Calculator with beads) HULA HOOP (39D: Round toy that's twirled) STUDIO AUDIENCES (17A: Sitcoms are often filmed in front of them) HOUSE DRESSING (39A: Part of a restaurant's standard salad) LODGE A COMPLAINT (64A: Gripe to the manager, say) STARTER HOMES: The first, or STARTER, word of each theme answer is a type of HOME: STUDIO, HOUSE, and LODGE. Make yourself at HOME, whether you live in a STUDIO, a HOUSE, or a LODGE. I particularly enjoy the fact that each type of HOME does not mean HOME in the theme answer. Thank you, Sala, for this interesting puzzle.

Despite wet weather, thousands gather for day one of Boston Calling music festival
Boston Calling had a wet start to the weekend on Friday, but the rain did not stop people from smiling and enjoying the music. Tens of thousands of music fans are expected to attend the annual music festival this Memorial Day weekend. Country singer Luke Combs took to the stage Friday night, as well as Sheryl Crow and Megan Moroney, along with dozens of other artists set for Saturday and Sunday. 'I'm looking forward to seeing Luke Combs,' said Joe Mazzarella. 'He's my inspiration.' 'Tonight, it's T-Pain, tomorrow Fall Out Boy, Avril, All Time Low, it's our pre-teen emo years that we're reminiscing,' Kara Corslund said. The rainy and dreary weather is not fazing those who have been looking forward to this weekend for months. 'It's not too bad either, just a couple sprinkles,, not going to hurt nobody,' Charlie Bowe said. The music festival at Harvard's Athletic Center looks a lot different compared to last year. 'It was really fun, really hot the day that I went,' Allison Stacey said. 'A lot of people were passing out and stuff.' Organizers with Boston Calling added extra water stations throughout the venue, redesigned the stages to help with congestion, and also added an indoor arena. Meanwhile, the group TLC did not perform on Friday due to a medical issue. 'Any time that an artist needs to be like, 'hey, I can't do this for whatever reason', that's their choice, it stinks they're not here, but take care of yourself,' Corslund said. Fall Out Boy and Avril Lavigne are Saturday's headliners with the Dave Matthews Band on Sunday. perform This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.

Sheryl Crow Shares Empathetic New Single ‘I Know' for Mental Health Awareness Month
Sheryl Crow unfurled her new single 'I Know' on Friday (May 23) in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. On the tender ballad, the nine-time Grammy winner lays out the importance of empathy and connection as she sings, 'But maybe I could hold your hand/ And count the teardrops as they flow/ And promise never to let go/ I see the struggle in your face/ The only thing that I can say/ Is I know/ I know/ I know how it feels,' over restrained guitars. More from Billboard Musicians Who Have Opened Up About Their Mental Health Struggles U2's Bono Calls for Hamas to 'Release the Hostages, Stop the War' During Ivor Novello Awards Speech Rob49 on Viral Stardom, 'Let Me Fly,' Collab Album With G Herbo & Making Music With Justin Bieber The singer-songwriter, who recently served as a Mega Mentor on the just-concluded season 27 of The Voice, also opened up about the inspiration behind the song in a social media post on Wednesday (May 23). 'In a recent moment when I was really struggling, I picked up my guitar and wrote a song… Sometimes when we're struggling, just knowing that another soul can relate to what we're feeling makes things a little bit better. That's what this song is about,' she wrote. Elsewhere in the caption, she championed the mission of mental health nonprofit organization To Write Love on Her Arms, which provides resources in order for people struggling with their mental health to find affordable resources such as therapy. 'And this I REALLY love: they have a 'Disconnect to Reconnect' challenge which encourages people to get off social media for two weeks and reconnect to what matters most,' Crow continued. 'Social media isn't really great for anyone's emotional well-being, so encouraging folks to [put] the phone down and enjoy nature, family and friends, music….I do that all the time, and I know how beneficial it is to take a break.'
