    Reveal: There are famous BOBs hidden in the grid- 6A DYLAN, 19A VILA, 26A SEGER, 42A DENVER, 54A DOLE, 61A SAGET. There are no extra steps. The answer is BOB (as a short haircut and bobbing for apples), ...and if you didn’t know, “Bob’s your uncle” is a British idiom meaning “and there you have it.”

      The meta was fun but I was especially struck by the elegance of construction and clarity of cluing.

        Thanks

        Of course, you gave away the answer in the meta prompt before we started filling in the grid. Still it was fun to try to figure out how to get there. ;)
