Bill Clinton Booed at Willie Nelson Concert
Friday, April 11, 2003
NEW YORK — Former President Bill Clinton was booed Wednesday night when he took the stage at the Beacon Theater at the start of a Willie Nelson concert.
"The place went wild when [Clinton] was announced," said our spy. "There was loud booing and yelling."
Clinton "seemed angered" and made a comment about "angry Republicans," which stirred the crowd on more.
"There was so much anti-Clinton booing and yelling that when Willie came back out, he asked if everyone was all right ... the concert was taped for a Memorial Day showing on the USA network, but even with serious editing, it will be hard to use the Clinton part at all."
A Clinton aide acknowledged some booing, but added: "There was so much applauding that he had to quiet them down so he could introduce Willie. [Clinton] was not upset at all. They gave him quite a rousing ovation and he was mobbed by all the talent. He had just flown in from Mexico and went straight to the event."
Musicians Lyle Lovett, Sheryl Crow, John Mellencamp, Kris Kristofferson, Kenny Chesney, Elvis Costello and Norah Jones were also there to wish Nelson a happy 70th birthday.
