It's amazing who you'll run into in New York these days. On any given day, you'll just happen to see any celebrity just chillin'. In this case, I met Lenny Kravitz and his ex, the actress formerly known as Lisa Bonet.

I told him that I was a guitarist and that he was one of my inspirations. Well, I wasn't lying to him. I do like his stuff and he has inspired me. He showed me that the brothers need to take Rock & Roll back from the "man". And then I shook his hand. He's a cool, nice guy.

It was awesome.

WE really Do. it is our music. not trying to dilute the memory of other rock artist at all but it seems that a lot of us turned our backs on it and as soon as hendrix died the color lines came up to an extent. I'm a guitarist also,

My pictoral tribute to the True Funk soldiers of Modren Hard ROck, ROck, and Metal. Trying to keep the music alive. Post Hendrix


Mother's FInest


Slash (GNR...Yes Slash is Black)


Bad Brains


Lenny Kravitz


Mandrill


Living Colour


Sly


P-Funk


Even Trerence Trent D'arby



and the reason we're all here




I could go on and on but even though the amount of blacks in rock is slim now isn't funny how the biggest rock star is Black (Kravitz) and the (arguably) biggest Rapper is WHite (Eminem). I always found that intresting.

Slash and Vernon Reid are quite exceptional in my book.

I would love to meet Lenny. I would love to see more black rock artists too because rock and roll did originate from blacks. Elvis Presley was influenced by black music and made it popular at a time when America was extremely racist.

This is an interesting comming from a man like him who has become a coporate rocker. Corporate rockers or not, still find him to sexy as hell. He just lost some cool points with that Gap commercial.

Soulchild82 said:

I agree with your post so far. I don't care to much for Eminen.

Enough about Lenny.


How was Lisa doing?

ThreadBare said:

That is a good question. We haven't heard from her in while. I think the last movie saw her in was Biker Boys.
[Edited 9/11/04 12:02pm]

I don't even think Lisa noticed me. But that is a good question. Is she still even acting anymore?

where did you meet him???

NWF said:

I don't think she's ever acted, really. And, yet, I'm still a fan.

I dig much of his stuff, can't really "get into" it wholesale. But he seems like one of the most likable rock figures around.

But that GAP commercial gotta go!

I'm sayin' in case folks forgot how tiny the man is, it's a constant reminder. He's neck-and-neck with Sarah Jessica Parker.

Sheeeesh!!

Something like this should happend to me too.

I'M SORRY TO BURST YOU HAPPINESS ABOUT MEETING LENNY, BUT BE CAREFUL OF THE HEROS YOU WORSHIP. MY BROTHERS BAND ..... A ROCK BAND (WHO HAPPENS TO BE BLACK) SENT THEIR DEMO TO ROXY RECORDS (LENNYS LABEL). NEVER GOT A CALL BACK, BUT LENNY USED THE MUSIC DOWN TO THE LAST NOTE OF ONE OF THEIR SONGS ON HIS ALBUM BEFORE BAPTISM. IT'S A PRACTICE THAT GOES ON REGULARLY IN THE INDUSTRY, BUT IT'S FUCKED UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE A SO CALLED UNIQUE ARTIST. MY BROTHER COULD SUE AND WIN LIKE WHEN LENNY STOLE JUSTIFY MY LOVE FROM INGRID CHAVEZ, BUT THEN YOU RISK BEING BLACKLISTED AND NO RECORD LABEL WILL WANT TO DEAL WITH YOU. TRUST WHEN I SAY LENNY IS VERY COMFORTABLE BEING THE ONLY BLACK ROCK GOD....IF HE HAS COMPETITION HE MAY ACTUALLY HAVE TO WORK. I USE TO BE A FAN OF LENNY, NOW I THINK HE'S A HACK.

NWF said:

Lenny Kravitz has a white father. Sy Kravitz, I believe is the name. How totally insensitive to call white people "the man."

I think he made some very nice songs.
But i don't understand why everybody thinks he's such a great guitar player
HE ISN'T
Mostly he just plays rhythm guitar.

that's SO COOL!!!!!

Dewrede said:

No, he does some lead stuff too. Like that song, "Again". He does the solo on that.

Thanks. Surprisingly, that wasn't a negative confrontation.
