That’s for sure. I’m not a bad looking 64. That’s one old hag I wouldn’t even look at. I guess that’s what drugs and booze does to you.

I don't think it is just the years. I'm guessing she has a LOT of miles on her.

Connie Hamzy

Connie Hamzy Parente
Born Connie Parente
"Sweet" Connie Hamzy Parente (born January 9, 1955), also called "Sweet Sweet" Connie or Connie Flowers, is an American woman who is known as a groupie who claims to have had sex with numerous rock musicians. Hamzy also received attention for her claim that she was propositioned by Bill Clinton, then governor of Arkansas.

Hamzy claims to have given oral sex to various members of the many bands that have traveled through Little Rock. Her alleged groupie escapades were detailed in a Cosmopolitan profile in 1974, and in 1992 she wrote a tell-all article for Penthouse.

She is mentioned in Grand Funk Railroad's song "We're an American Band" (" Sweet, sweet Connie, doin' her act / She had the whole show and that's a natural fact.")
Hamzy published a memoir in 1995 under the title Rock Groupie: The Intimate Adventures of "Sweet Connie" from Little Rock.

In 1991, Hamzy was briefly in the news because of her claim that in 1984 she had been approached by an Arkansas state trooper on behalf of Bill Clinton. She claimed that she and Clinton had looked for "a place where they could have some privacy for an assignation, but couldn't find one." George Stephanopoulos later recounted that Clinton told him a different story of his meeting with Hamzy. According to Clinton, Hamzy had approached him in a hotel lobby, flipped down her bikini top, and asked him, "What do you think of these?" Stephanopoulos secured affidavits from three people who had been accompanying Clinton and confirmed Clinton's recollection. When asked about Hamzy by reporters, Stephanopoulos responded by denying the story off the record and offering to provide the affidavits, also off the record. CNN Headline News reported Hamzy's allegations once, neither CNN nor other mainstream news organizations pursued the story further.

Hamzy was featured in a segment of the Insomniac with Dave Attell episode in Little Rock.

She was interviewed on the Howard Stern Show on December 4, 1991, and again on December 8, 2010.
