Sen. Clinton can't wait for upcoming film on the Rolling Stones


Sen. Clinton told her travelling press corps about her love for the Rolling Stones while aboard her plane Sunday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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 been a few times since. 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."

The film, chronicling a Stones performance at New York's Beacon Theater in fall 2006, even features a clip of guitarist Keith Richards meeting Clinton's 88-year old-mother, Dorothy Rodham. The Clinton Foundation, the former president's philanthropic effort, held a fundraiser during one of the concerts.

Clinton said her mother is an even bigger fan of the Stones. "I thought she was going to just levitate," Clinton said of introducing Rodham to Richards and Jagger.
