On SNL, one of the featured players accidentally dropped the f-bomb in a skit that featured many instances of the word "frickin'". And U2 performed 2½ songs (the third song was played at the very end and the broadcast ended well before the end of the song).

that portion of that last song was better than the other two combined.

(and yes, i know the last song was "ultraviolet" from achtung baby)

Buffy Sainte-Marie played at Highline Ballroom and owned it.
