One Word Wonder

20th to solve. Nice puzzle and clues.

Ok, skip google and go to wikipedia and type in the year and click first link. Then type the / and the word "rapper", "singer" etc. Just hit control G to go to the next if you don't find it the first one

I can picture the bottom right guy in one of his roles but I can not think of who he is. I have the rest of them

oops double post.

Dang. I had the answer in seconds. Then spent the next 20 minutes trying to figure out the twist.

bottom right guy was in Get Shorty.

pretty easy, google is definitely a ton of help. This would have been a great puzzle about a year and 10 days ago.

Very nice idea for a theme; the execution was so straightforward that, IMO, some interest was lost.

I wonder when that photo on the lower left was taken. Strippers tend to hit their prime around the time they celebrate their 20th birthday.

easy, but never heard the term (and I'm born in that month)

wow. didn't even see the background pic.
