Akon Tosses Fan Offstage

June 4, 2007 4:22 PM ET

Seriously, what is Akon's problem? And also ... where are his handlers? First the guy sparks a PR disaster by dancing/simulating sex with the underage daughter of a Trinidadian minister at a concert. Now he's apparently tossing random fans offstage. When a kid threw something at the singer (as fans will do) Akon stopped a recent show, had security track the fan down, picked him up and tossed him into the crowd. So. Not. Nice.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
