Hillary Clinton admires Mick Jagger's work ethic

** EXCERPT **

WASHINGTON: Call her a Honky Tonk Woman: Hillary Rodham Clinton is a big fan of the Rolling Stones.

Speaking to reporters aboard her campaign plane Sunday morning, the Democratic presidential contender said she was eager to see "Shine a Light," the new documentary about the legendary rock band that was directed by Martin Scorsese and opens Friday.

Clinton said she attended her first Stones show as a high school senior in 1965, and has seen them a few times since then. She praised Mick Jagger, the band's 64-year-old lead singer, and said she admired his work ethic.

"If you go to a Stones concert today and I have been, it's just amazing," Clinton said. "He has this incredible presence. He is very disciplined, he works out, and he's incredibly devoted to what he does."

I'd say the chances of this being true are very low.

From Wikipedia, about Mick Jagger:

Jagger is renowned for his high-profile and multiple relationships. He was married May 12, 1971 to Bianca Pérez-Mora Macías. They divorced in 1980, on the grounds of his adultery with Jerry Hall. After a lengthy cohabitation and several children together, Jagger and Hall married November 21, 1990 in a Hindu beach ceremony. Jagger later contested the validity of the ceremony, and the marriage was annulled July 9, 1999. This was subsequent to Jagger's affair with and the pregnancy of Luciana Gimenez. He has also been romantically linked to Marianne Faithfull, Janice Dickinson and Carla Bruni, among others.

Hall reportedly knew all too well about Jagger's rampant infidelity and continued their relationship despite it. "I'd come home and there'd be things from other girls lying around," she told The Daily Mail. "And then I'd started finding items next to the bed like earrings or a ring. It was obvious." She said that "she was 'codependent' on Mick -- he was addicted to affairs and she was addicted to loving him. Jerry also believes she was emotionally scarred by her childhood where her abusive father was the 'king of the house'."

No wonder she admires Mick Jagger.....

I'm surprised she didn't come out as being a full fleged groupie of the Stones.

I just saw MacKenzie Phillips on TV and she said that Mick Jagger took her to his bedroom when she was 16 and told her he’d been waiting to be with her since she was 10. And then...the did it while her father waited for her upstairs. (Her father, John Phillips, was concerned enought that he did ask her how it was the next day). So, not only does Jagger have a great work ethic, seems he’s patient as well.

“He is very disciplined, he works out, and he’s incredibly devoted to what he does.”

That he is. That he’s still around when most of his contemporaries are dead is a sign either that attention to diet and exercise pays off or the Devil takes care of his own. Take your pick.

Oh Hell, when the junior Senator from New York travels through the South, she’ll claim that she’s always admired Hank Williams Sr, loves his music, and in fact she was in the vicinity of Oak Hill West Virginia on New Year’s Eve 1953, and saw his famed Cadillac passing by in the shadows, and she somehow just ‘knew’ that if only America had universal health care, that Hank Senior might have lived instead of dying in the back seat of his car, and Hank Jr. would not have had to grow up without a father, like so many children do, all because of cruel Republican/Bush-style policies.

Just don’t play ‘Your Cheatin’ Heart’ when Bill is around, he hates that song. Can’t imagine why.

So, because hillary clinton says she admires jagger, you have to slander him with some dubious entries from the world's most questionable conglomeration of opinions, Wikipedia.

If thoughts had a whorehouse it would be Wikipedia.

Jagger's a runaway success, unlike the majority. And like the rest of us, he's fallible.

I guess you two have at least that much in common.

Who knows what you could be if you stuck your neck out, instead of sitting around taking potshots at people who have really done something with themselves.

Hmmmm ... IIRC, the Beatles landed here in '65 and the Stones showed up a year or more later.

Too tired to look it up, but I doubt the claim.

A new Stones movie? Why would I want to watch a 65 man shake his butt onstage and make kissy lips at aging baby boomers. It would be like watching your grandpa work as a Chippendales dancer.

Hillary went to Maine Township High School East (located in Park Ridge, IL). The only date the Stones were in Illinois in ‘65 was on Nov. 28 at the Arie Crown Theatre.

They should re-release the great documentary 25X5 with new footage and complete appearances on shows like Sullivan and Shindig. I mean, screw the Stones now, I would like to see vintage Stones performances, especially during the Mick Taylor era.

It was February 1964 when the Beatles came to America, but I do think the Stones appeared on Sullivan later that year, but I could be wrong. I saw vintage footage of Jagger in a sweatshirt (WTF, he is on Sullivan and he is wearing a sweatshirt) around that time on the Sullivan show singing “Round and Round.”

What I can never understand is why the Left gushes over movie, rock and sports stars, in awe of their dedication, efforts, work, blah, blah, blah but have nothing but contempt and bile for the industrious (especially American) business leaders that start from scratch and build profitable companies that provide tax revenue for the gub'mint and jobs for many people.

How many people do rock stars employ? How much good do they really do? aside of course from glorifying drug use, infidelity and self gratification?

It's possible. The Stones database has them playing in Chicago on 9th May, 1965:

Chicago, Illinois, Arie Crown Theater, McCormick Place

In 1965, English still being her second language, I should guess that little Miss Hildegarde Braun would be more comfortable admiring the artistic work of a singer singing in her native lagnuage.

I saw them in April of ‘65. In Albany NY. They were playing some smaller venues then. They weren't superstars at the time. Not by any means.
