Solving time: 17:03 (Way over my normal time due to two answers I did not know and a typo)
Puzzle uniqueness:
Six long, two-word answers in which the final answer (HOME) can be put in front of each of the words: HOMEBODY. GAMEBOY, COMPUTERPORT, ICELAND, MOVIETHEATER, FRONTPAGE.
Words I hadn't known until now:
CBGBS - "Legendary music club in Lower Manhattan, informally" (This is so bogus)
IBIZA - "Resort island near Majorca"
Trivia I didn't know:
SIENA - "Tuscan city"
ICELAND - "NATO's smallest member, populationwise" (Though makes sense)
Junk Answers: Many...the price you pay for so many theme answers (6)
CBGBS - Still bogus
MENT - "Suffix with refresh or replace
SEZ - "Utters, informally"
ZZZ - "Snoring sound" (Gee, how many Z's can be accepted?)
LII - "52, in old Rome"
REORG - "Corporate shuffle, for short"
Clever clues: 0
