Six years later, I now know why the two Frischmann-obsessed lesbians who ran the music section of the Lancaster Uni student newspaper used this title of the section. (I mean, they told me what it meant -- the three things you check to see if you have on you before you go to a gig -- but I never knew where they got it. I thought they made it up!)
