Of which a large number are *British* rock puns, and thus are impenetrable to the rest of the world. I was actively looking for them on my second read-through, and was still amazed by how many I missed when I later consulted the L-Space guide. Try it for yourself, it's an amusing little game within a very entertaining book.
