Steven Tyler at Boston's Lenny Kravitz Performance
Boston Globe, MA

Lenny Kravitz can be a walking contradiction. On the one hand, he sings of letting love rule and being a ''minister of rock 'n' roll" who has come to ''save your soul." But on Sunday, he also strutted around in a glittery silver belt befitting an overripe Elvis Presley in Las Vegas....Kravitz soared with Grammy-winning hits "Fly Away" and "American Woman," as well as newer songs "Lady" (inspired by ex-girlfriend Nicole Kidman: "She's cool, she's divine," he sang) and "Again," about a lover who is a "sacred gift from heaven. But the highlight was "Be," dedicated to Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, who sat up front. "Lord, what's the matter, am I lost? Am I a junkie, what is my fate?" sang Kravitz before finishing with the hopeful verse, "The mind can see as long as you'll be for real with yourself."
