"The content of the show is very topical. I often use headlines, and I change it all the time," he says. "And as I go along, I change subjects. I talk about the need to get along in Canada, I do a review of what the genitive things are in each province, and I tal about how we have to try to get along in the world. Much of Bmadfoot'g humor is political satire (he talks. rather was, about trouble in the Middle East and a ut trouble at Oh), and he feels that if people can laugh at the trouble with the world, there'll be less trouble. But he also tackles social issues. “I talk a lot about the relationships between males and females in North America. And I talk about all the diseases that are sweeping the country. like homophobia, linguiphobia (the abnormal tear that if you speak page than; one language your tongue will fork), and gynaephobia (the abnormal tear of women). I really rusd it bizarre that these are big issues in the late 20th century - that we still have this hatred towards women and towards racial groups. If you don't look at these humorously. they can be very depressing." That‘s what Broadfoot says he’s all about. He wants to get people laughing at subjects that they might be uptight about. Good thing fer Broadfoot, Canadians are very good at laughing at themselves. _ .. - Waterloo %oiitime brings Dave Broadfoot’a CopedxACrugde yo Humanities Than, at. urdanyov. 3 at 8 p.m. philoo than] lyric. not to (Weapon-1s) Math Cram" Gimmick Staff try music um Patricia Cort. roy in finding out what it’s like in the big league. _ _ With the release of her debut album Blue Angel on WEA Records, the Vancouver-based singer/songwriter 12tg, for national exposure swep- tance.
