    This puzzle sets a record (sure to be broken) of the greatest number of my favorite songs I’ve managed to work into clues: (1) The Caves of [18 Across] (Steely Dan), (2) [25 Across] Smile (John Prine), (3) [55 Down] House (Graham Nash), (4) Where Have all the Flowers Gone (31 Down), and (5) Penny Lane (The Beatles, 54 Down). If you know some of these off the bat, you’ve got a head start. If not, don’t fear – everything should be easily gettable from crosses.

      5 is pretty good, but you’ve got a lot of favorites, I bet, and the others require homage

        Great theme! Didn’t get that the title was a blackjack reference until the revealer… very nice!
