It’s hard to believe that COWBOY hasn’t been used since 1956!

Wow, though not a blind solve, this was the fastest that I ever finished the Jumble. I breezed through the anagrams and then the letters for Soon were right there in front of me. Thank you for the link to the Jerry Lee Lewis video Angela. It’s interesting to me to see how he played the piano. Thanks, Stan
Fast solves on the anagrams but so slow on the puzzle solve. Still, I deserve a cookie and will look for one to go with coffee.

🔥Rome was burning and Nero, blasé, Though he’d def come to rue the day… His concern not enough, Situation quite rough… With the city in such disarray…🔥

No blind solve, or even a guess on the answer, so I had to grind it out. Luckily, I saw SOON pretty quickly, and the rest came easily.
I fondly remember the Jerry Lee Lewis song, but haven’t heard it in a very long time.

East peasy. Solving today’s puzzle was a mere FORUMality.

Slush looked like lush at first but then having solved the anagrams, the cartoon was a quick solve with history being the first word to come to mind. Angela, I loved the Jerry Lee Lewis , Great Balls of Fire reference, as it’s one of my favorite recordings of his! Chuck.

Glad you enjoyed it, Professor 🔥🙋🏻♀️
