Short story:

When Jerry Lee Lewis plays in the Pelican Club, Beaumont, Texas, USA, Janis Joplin makes the short trip from her home in Port Arthur, to see his show. Backstage, Jerry Lee makes some disparaging remarks about Joplin's appearance, for which she punches him in the face, and he responds by slapping her face.
