This is the first in a series I will be doing.  The crossword will be up for one week and then I will post the solution.  Please don't spoil it for others, refrain from posting solutions!  I will be deleting replies that contain solutions.  If you want to collaborate with others on this, please do so via PM.  Feel free to print out the crossword using the link below. 

General information:
These questions may come from anywhere!  The can come from artwork, interviews, song lyrics, etc.

I think you are probably capable of doing this one without looking anything up, although I bet I know which one you'll have to check out if you do look one up.

OK.  So I love clue #8.  Before I settled on "A New Meditation" - I was thinking about that answer as a possible site name.   :)

You did a really good job on this, A!  Your clues were freaking hysterical at times.  I had fun doing this this morning.

And hey!  I am a LOT of things - but I'm not a cheater!  To be honest, I'm a little offended that you'd think I'd need a peek.   :P   YOU probably needed to look a few up while you were making it.   :D

Sorry, J!  I didnt mean to offend.  

I was thinking 1-across might trip you up.  That was one of my more tricky ones, as there is another answer that kind of works, but doesn't fit.  20-across was the only one I didnt come up with off the top of my head.  Just wait for the "hard difficulty" one.  That one will fry some eggs.

I was chuckling to myself as I wrote 22-across :)

I'm definately taking this to class with me. I dont know about easy to medium though, looks more like medium to me. Some of those hints are quite difficult! Should be a lot of fun

Argh! I've only got one clue left and I can't figure it out for the life of me!

What I've learned from this is that I'm good with STP knowledge, but once you get into the side projects and solo albums I'm clueless lol... How much of that stuff is in the hard one?
Grab the hate and drown it out...
