Yet he comes across as someone born in Howard's pre-war generation. I bet he's never even heard of The Doors.

You know, I can't remember. I think he was covered up. Which, come to think of it, is strange for a rock star. Does Lenny K have an attractive chest rug? You know, I can’t remember.

I hung out backstage with Lenny Kravitz at one of his gigs in Australia. SO THERE. And it was completely free of sex, drugs but not rock'n'roll. Waste of time, actually.

The mayonnaise joke: This walrus had his car break down so he took it into the shop to be fixed and walked across the street to get a bite to eat while he waited. After a few minutes the mechanic walked in and said to the walrus, "Looks like you just blew a seal!" The walrus wiped his mouth and replied, "No man, that's just a little mayonnaise."
