President Barack Obama didn’t attend The Rolling Stones concert in Washington, DC Monday night, but lead singer Mick Jagger said that wasn’t likely to keep the commander-in-chief from checking out the show.
During the course of a two-hour-long show in the nation’s capital on Monday, the legendary singer stopped to briefly address the National Security Agency scandal that has plagued the presidency in recent weeks.
