this qualifies you as a beginner level Pat Benatar fan :-)
So you're in good company with the layout staff at Chrysalis Records,
they printed "Pat Banatar" on one of her CDs...

wasn't that like the universe in HHGTTG ? 
if anybody ever finds an exact definition of Gaffa, this group will 
instantly disappear and be replaced by something more complex.


My first step to become a knowledgeable fan:

German HiFi magazine Audio had Kate Bush among their "midprice tips"
in issue 1/96:
"The Dreaming" wasn't one of her hit albums, but in songs like "Suspended
In Gaffa" she demonstrated impressively, how modern music should sound
to delight head, belly and feet.

but i'm working on that]
