IQ2: Are you a Simpsons character with large feet and an unfortunate habit of stepping on every rake in the vicinity? IQ3: Did you direct such films as _Carrie_ and _Phantom of the Paradise_? ---

I was after ‘ **Banacek** ’, from the early 70s. I’m afraid Chris Bowman is American, not Canadian. I was after **Brian Boitano**. One of \*\*Bruce Cockburn’s \*\* biggest hits was ‘Wonderin’ Where the Lions Are’. So - I’ll wait until **Spoons** ’ three DQs are answered, as we asked exactly the same things… Previous DQs - 1: Male. 2: Living. (Which I assume means you are not fictional.) ---
