Lenny

I have been utterly and completely blown away by the damage and destruction that hurricane Dorian has inflicted upon the Bahamas! I am absolutely speechless when I see all the footage of the destruction and I have cried a lot. I was watching Chris Cuomo last night and Lenny Kravitz was on.

First of all, I did NOT know he was Bahamian! And secondly, I was surprised at how HOT he still is! He is just the coolest! I went shopping with Sean for some jeans for him today and as is our custom, we left the mall and went to eat at A&W in the surrounding parking lot. I don’t get out of the car very easily anymore so we ordered drive-through and ate in the car, facing the mall.

As Sean divvied up the food, this song came on the radio:

I just saw him in an interview last night! He was wearing sunglasses but he had some cool shorter locks and still looked just as sexy! I remembered a few years ago that Sean told me that girls in his class were surprised that Cinna (from The Hunger Games) was playing the guitar during the halftime show for the Super Bowl with Katy Perry.

Sean knew who he was because I had already told him that Lenny Kravitz was a bad a** rocker! And he had grown up hearing him because I listened to his songs often.

I appreciated hearing this song from my past, I think it was the Christmas before I had Sean that I was given this album for Christmas from his dad. After Lenny Kravitz played, Everclear came on (Because I listen to music from the 90s and 2000s on the radio). I don’t care! I’m old! I am OK with that though. Hearing music from my youth reminds me of being able-bodied. It’s kind of bittersweet but I like remembering being, “able.” I think it’s crazy that those memories are pretty distant now but they all immediately come crashing back when I hear a good song from my past!

One thought on “Lenny”

  1. Great post! I do agree with you 100% on everything you wrote. The devastation from the hurricane is heartbreaking. So many have had their lives changed and my heart goes out to all of them.
    I also agree about Lenny Kravitz , he definitely was definitely a bad a** rocker. I love rock music amongst other music! Music has a powerful way to lift our spirits!
