The seeds for this themeless were 21 Down and 52 Across (a refuge from a themed puzzle idea that went nowhere), though 16 Down might be my favorite clue.

21D is such a fun entry, and I love its clue. I’m with you re: favorite clue: 16D (I laughed out loud). Other favorites are 25A, 34A, 42A and 57A. I had no idea what SWAK was…had to look it up, and I wonder how I’ve made it to this point in life without encountering it before. I know 54A as a hand gesture; not sure I understood the clue…?

[54A] Zulu was the founder of the Zulu Empire, and [54A] Smart is a college basketball coach (currently Marquette, but previously Texas and before that VCU, which he took to the Final Four for the only time in the school’s history). Live and learn! – though I’m not sure how useful this particular bit of info will be.
