This was going to be a regular-sized (15×15) puzzle, but I only came up with three theme answers, so I downsized a bit. If you’re not familiar with the poem cited in 32 Across, here’s a link. I think it’s simply beautiful.

If you’re a fan of the Dan or the Doobies, check out the documentary referenced in the clue for 17 Across. It’s fun, interesting, and chock full of good tunes and “inside baseball” about the surrounding cultural and musical scene.
1 Across was the seed for this one. Sandy and I were watching American Idol, for which Jelly Roll is acting as a mentor. Knowing nothing about Jelly Roll, I looked up what genre he mostly works in, and voilà – there’s 1 Across.
A couple of other notes: In Ecuador, they sometimes make 3 Down with popcorn. I’m a popcorn fan – it’s dinner, often enough – but not in conjunction with 3 Down. And, as promised in the note to the puzzle, here’s a link to My Back Pages.
