Lenny Kravitz has taken some time out to sit down with Rolling Stone and talk about some of his idols. In the interview, Kravitz says it’s interesting to see how some of his biggest idols have evolved over the years. “Bob and Mick and McCartney – it’s wonderful to see how they’ve become like the jazz cats,” he began. “I saw the Stones on the last tour, the last show of the American leg. They were as hardcore as I’ve ever seen them – their aggression and precision were unbelievable. I look at them and say, ‘That’s what I want to be doing when I’m in my seventies.'” He also revealed that Dylan gave him a harmonica. “It’s on the mantel in my bedroom in Paris. I see it when I wake up. I’ve picked it up a few times and looked at it. It has a piece of tape on it with the keys written on it. I’ll play it someday. I’ve put special things from my life on that mantel: the plastic cast of my hand that my uncle made when I was six; a ceramic mask I made in art class when I was about seven; a Cartier watch that belonged to [cabaret singer] Bobby Short; the handwritten set list to Woodstock that Hendrix wrote right before doing the gig. I bought those years ago.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
