Ruud sez:

I had always suspected th=
at "Frenesi" was intended as a homonym for "free 'n easy", and that "Gates"=20=
was being similarly employed for the german "geht es" (abbreviated "geht's",=
roughly translated as "it goes").

So I sez:

I always thought that Gates referred to the gates of a movie projector, but yeah, what you said sounds more than plausible, too...

I also like the fact that Frenesi sounds a lot like frenetic.
