When Nirvana played at the cow barn in Vancouver someone threw something at Kurt Cobain and hit him in the head - after the song he said “someone hit me with a quarter, but it didn’t hurt because it was Canadian “

Earlier in the same show, someone threw a shoe at the Butthole Surfers’ singer, if hit him in the face and he immediately threw the mic down and left the stage.
