The Yule Goat is one of the oldest Scandinavian and Northern European Yule and Christmas symbols and traditions. Yule Goat originally denoted the goat that was slaughtered around Yule, but it may also indicate a goat figure made out of straw. It is also used about the custom of going door-to-door singing carols and getting food and drinks in return, often fruit, cakes and sweets. "Going Yule Goat" is similar to the British custom wassailing, both with heathen roots.
I am a fan of Heath Ledger, a/k/a "Heathen"
So the Yule Goat is very Brokeish.

LOL! That's pretty good too, John!!
Just one thing.
Wiki describes it as if people do this door-to-door going nowadays.
That's NOT the case!!!
It's an old rural tradition, at least from the 1800s.

Elizabeth's mother (the Queen Mother Elizabeth) drank a lot. She was known as "Gin Lizzie"
thusly, Queen Victoria is Brokeish in a roundabout convoluted way.

Good! I was thinking of the Alberta connection.

Elton John's famous song "Candle in the Wind" is about Marilyn Monroe, who Michelle is reportedly considering playing in a new film.
Next: Cher

Very good!! I was thinkin' of the Bernie Taupin connection.
Only thing I can think of offhand about Cher is her never-ending farewell tour which is like our never-ending forum discussions about Brokeback.
That is not my answer though ^^^

^^^^^ sorry. I'm at work
Let's see...
Cher's daughter wants a sex change operation (Doctors say it should be an easy one since they actually thought at first she wanted to change into a woman), and in an unpublished version of Brokeback Mountain, Alma Jr. undergoes sexual reassignment surgery.
I give up.
