Lenny Says
Lenny Kravitz was raised by, married to, and has dated stars. So, naturally, he thinks stardom sucks.
Maxim, October 2004
By David Peisner
There�s a song on your new album called �I Don�t Want to Be a Star.� Do you expect us to believe that?
The song is tongue in cheek. Yeah, there are times I wish I could walk down the street or go to a caf� or a museum�any common thing a person can do�but I can�t be anonymous. So it was written on a day like that when I was like, �Man, I�d love to go take a walk, but it�s going to create a scene.�
In the same song, you sing about partying with Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan, so there are obviously a few perks as well.
Well, I wouldn�t change a thing I�ve done. But I just take those guys as people. I mean, I have total respect for Mick Jagger�all the hits and records and groundbreaking music he�s made. But I grew up on the lap of Duke Ellington, hanging out with Miles Davis and all these folks. I was a child around these people, so I don�t trip out. People are people.
Isn�t it true that you live next door to Courtney Love in New York City?
We live in the same building.
Is she a good neighbor?
I don�t know. I�m not there very much. I see her naked in the elevator every now and then.
Trust us, that makes her a good neighbor.
[laughs] Yeah, it does. |

Lenny has been reduced to peddling his music through Target and Gap commercials. I think his 15 minutes are over...
Btw, he was married to Lisa Bonet. |

I'm kind of tired of Lenny K and his ego. I also think he makes a big mistake by playing all instruments on his albums - his drumming is particularly weak. |

He probably can't afford to pay session musicians because his cds don't sell. |

What happened to his female drummer? She was quite good and sexy...I agree his 5 minutes should have ended about a decade ago...total sell-out who is more of a fashion statement than musician..Mick, in his attempt to leep hip, seems to hang out with this midget...very sad. |

Lenny is a fake rock star like Dave Stewart and Michael Jackson. It's a pity Jagger worked with those figures... |

Totally agree with you F505..but sadly, Mick has been a fake rock star for the last decade as well... |

ok, but he's still an entertainment industry Producer dad, and has more leverage than any non-entertainment industry Producer dad.

Josh, what do you want a list of ennemies for? Don't you have enough already?
*scratching head in deep puzzlement*
If SS & Ju are on the list, it must be an honour anyway! |

His late mother played the lady married to the white guy on the Jeffersons..his late father was in the industry as they say....I like a couple of his songs, but like Bono, he self-proclaimed greatness and ego make him very dislikeable... |

I've heard Lenny's stuff over the years, and could never understand why he received the kudos and attention that he gets, and it never seems to cease

I don't think we can compare Bono to Lenny. I'm not a fan of U2, but at least Bono has talent. |

U2 has done a hell of alot more in their days than Kravitz ever has, or will IMO
the short end of the stick is that Kravitz is popular only because his mom was Weeeeazy RIP |

The funny thing is Kravitz walked once in the city town of Utrecht (Holland) and no one recognised him although he has the size of a midget. Maybe in the States he is a big star... |
