July 1 is Canada Day. 135 years young!

The Toronto Star has it's annual "How much Do You Know About Canada" quiz in today's paper.
In the Arts and Entertainment area the question is:
The Grateful Dead have their loyal "Deadheads"and _________ has his loyal "Footheads."

Discuss.
LOL

Jimmy Buffett has his ParrotHeads - I am one, but it was a CANADA Day quiz - Jimmy's not Canadian! He hasn't been in TO in years. And the clue was "FOOT"!

LETTER TO EDITOR - TORONTO STAR:
re: "Canada Quiz"
I would like to take this opportunity to inform your Quizmaster that Gordon Lightfoot fans are NOT called "Footheads". We refer to ourselves as "Lightheads" and none of us has ever heard the other name. A large contingent of internet "Lightheads" will be meeting in Toronto for the third annual Lightfoot convention when he is performing 4 concerts at Massey Hall in November. Fans from all over the U.S., Australia, Austria, England, Scotland and Canada get together and have the greatest time getting to know one another and listening to the many talented members sing and play Lightfoot music. May 2001 saw 70 fans congregate here and we are hoping for an even larger turnout this November. Lightfoot himself is aware that the "Net People" as he refers to us, are out there still loving him and his music and being very appreciative that he continues to tour across North America with his awesome band. He's a true musical legend and a Canadian icon who gives 100% every time he sets foot on stage. He is "The Man"!

Happy Canada Day to one and all. 'Tis a great day for the Lightheads. (Maybe folks at the Toronto Star thought Lightheads were coal miners)
