Wednesday night, the White House rocked with something other than scandal. We're talking real rock 'n roll music with a real rock star: Lou Reed. Stodgy old state dinners may never be the same. The Clintons were in fine form: the President smiling if slightly subdued; the first lady effusively greeting guests. They heard plenty of encouraging words, although Stevie Wonder was the only one to bear-hug both Clintons. "I told the president a long time ago that I was his friend," the singer said. "And I am of the belief that when you say you are someone's friend, it doesn't mean that you're a fair-weather friend. You're there all the time." Also attending were (actress/model) Paulina Porizkova and Ric Ocasek formerly of The Cars.
