問題:8 In the winter of 1995, Chrissie Hynde was in the audience at a show in NYC by a singer songwriter she really admired. Also in the audience were other female singer songwriters such as Natalie Merchant and Carly Simon. A bit intoxicated, Chrissie was shouting "Let it out, ○○○○!!". When Carly Simon, who was sitting right behind Chrissie, finally had enough and asked her to be quiet, Chrissie grabbed Carly by the neck and said, "That's a REAL singer up there!". Now, at whose show this incident took place?
問題:9 Although becoming famous initially as a folk singer, Joni Mitchell flirted with Jazz when such cross-over was not yet common. She even collaborated with Charles Mingus (by HIS request) that resulted in an album simply titled "Mingus". To promote the album, she went on tour with musicians who were considered to be among the best out there. Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker, Don Alias... They performed material that's heavy on Jazz-Fusion flavor. There were some exceptions, however. Now, what was the Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers song that Mitchell performed during the show?

2 .When the strap of his guitar broke and the guitar fell to the floor, he uttered the F word.
3 .He tore a picture of the Pope while shouting "Fight the real enemy!".
