Contest #3.1
Who wants PricklePoints™? Do you?
Contest #4 will be up and running soon. Be on the lookout. It should be pretty exciting. In the meantime, you can still win PricklePoints™. Firstly, there are 75 PricklePoints™ still up for grabs from Contest #3. Secondly, here's Contest #3.1 (same premise, different details):
Name the musical in which the following phrase is sung:
He's spit into the wind before, and will again.
Fifty PricklePoints™ for the name of the musical. An extra ten if you can name its real-life reference (the historical reference, not the meaning). Ninety-nine PricklePoints™ if you can sing it to me.
Good luck. If you get this one, you not only win the PricklePoints™ but you also win a little respect from me.
Addendum: My bad. It's an opera rather than a musical, making this question that much more difficult.

yup!
I am soooo respectless. I have no idea, even after reading the answer.
For your amusement, two alternative readings of the “historical event”
February 21, 1972, began “the week that changed the world.” Four of the world’s most powerful men gathered in one room: President Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Mao Tse-Tung and Chou En-Lai. In a cross-cultural kaleidoscope of understanding and misunderstanding, reading and misreading, one of the 20th century’s most defining moments took place. The door swung open between two of the world’s most powerful countries, while American audiences anxiously watched these historic events unfold on their television sets. Little did they know how significantly the future between the two countries would be affected.

YOU DON'T SPIT INTO THE WIND: Ananova reports on a first-time flyer on China Southern Airlines who tried to a open the plane's emergency exit to spit after it had taken off.
well, we're getting there. but as for the historical reference, who is "he", and HOW did he spit into the wind?
besides "with great flourish and a face shield."
