Mick Jagger got a laugh, telling the crowd, "I'd like to welcome President Clinton. And I see she's brought her husband."
NEW YORK, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Rolling Stones fans quickly found out the scalped tickets they bought for Bill Clinton's birthday show in New York couldn't get them into the Beacon Theater.
Fans couldn't actually get inside the venue unless their name was on a special security list, the New York Daily News reported Monday. "I'm very frustrated," said John DiMartino of Hicksville, L.I. "They said I'm not on the list."
Clinton stole the show getting a huge ovation from a crowd that included recording stars Sheryl Crow and Elvis Costello.
The former U.S. president said that he had inspired the Rolling Stones to become serious about helping to fight to address issues like global climate change.
"You know you have one foot in the grave when I'm the serious one," said Clinton, who was accompanied by his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. Mick Jagger got a laugh, telling the crowd, "I'd like to welcome President Clinton. And I see she's brought her husband."
After all, he is the first "black" president and the Apollo is in his 'hood.
I am astonished. Why does Mr. Clinton get a standing ovation from anyone? Apparently, the liberals in America are so desperate for heroes that they have crowned a man who did absolutely nothing for his country...except disgrace it.
They should instead become serious about recording a good album for a change. (Their last good effort was Some Girls in '78, and their last great effort was Exile on Main St. in '72).
These clowns all deserve each other. My stones CDs ain't gonna be spinning anymore.
DIRT-exPOTUS had to go across the street to load up on food at Fairwary....
Sympathy for the Devil.
IIRC, the Clinton's sold SOME of these tickets for a GREATLY reduced price, due to lack of interest in the festivities. It sounds like those tickets should have been honored too. Fraud on the part of the Clinton's?
I guess anyone who can get idiots to pony up thousands of dollars to participate in someone else's birthday party does deserve some kind of ovation.
Sha-doobie!
i didn't know Mick Jagger was American. oh well maybe thats why he refers to the old woman as president.
Yes, but did he know that AlGore INVENTED not only the Internet, but global warming, too????
p.s. Does he know that John Kerry served in Viet Nam?????
"You got rats on the west side, Bed bugs uptown, What a mess this towns in tatters, Ive been shattered, My brains been battered, splattered all over manhattan"
LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Rolling Stone meets Gall Stones.
Well, it'll go well with all the silverware that was stolen.
Wait...CLinton wasn't a "do nothing" President, he set us up for 9/11 by not responding to the attacks against US bases and facilities worldwide, including the 1st World Trade Center Bombing. He should go down in history as the President who gave terrorism a GREEN LIGHT!
Sometimes I wish Keef would just bash Mick over the head with his guitar.
