Once solved, you will find a special word in this crossword that combines with the highlighted entries. It precedes the neon green squares to form a favorite Adam movie, a soft covering for an iron fist, an alt-rock band from the 60's with Lou Reed, a kitsch painting and a hard rock supergroup with Slash and Duff McKagan.


When trailing the silver squares, you get a hit song from Alannah Myles and a movie starring a young Liz Taylor.


And finally, the purple squares (42-Down, 18-Across) sandwich a delicious frosted treat.
