	Essay Depot - Comparision of Duddy Kravitz and Jay Gatsby
		The psychological structure of Kravitz essentially parallels that of Gatsby because both rise to prominence from meager existence, both attempt to conceal their inauspicious past, both pursue their goals through questionable means, and both base their entire existence on a dream which ultimately proves to be their downfall.
		While Kravitz desperately attempts to avoid a lifetime of “nothingness,” Gatsby struggles to overcome his status as a “poor boy, who can’t marry rich girls.” In essence, poverty is the major contributing factor responsible for the irrepressible desire exemplified by Kravitz and Gatsby.
		Kravitz is unable to evaluate the seriousness of the statement: “A man without land is nobody” (Richler, 49.) Thus, he needlessly pursues a goal that is hypothetically preposterous.

		Kravitz made his entrance to the winding synth loop at the beginning of "Minister of Rock 'N Roll." Clad in sophisticated fl with a thick, signature belt and requisite shades, Kravitz played off an energized crowd that relentlessly chanted his name.
		Illuminated by 15-foot lights that bore his initials, Kravitz played electrifying renditions of favourites such as "Where Are We Runnin'?" and "American Woman." He exuded the timelessness of a rock legend with seven albums under his studded belt and the hunger of an independent artist with something to prove.
		Kravitz was preceded by multi-octave funk-soul singer Nikka Costa, who showed off an impressive vocal range, guitar-playing ability and peek-a-boo butt crack during songs both off her debut album Everybody Got Their Something and her upcoming release can'tneverdidnothin'.

	IOnOne \| art \| music \| Lenny Kravitz
		Lenny Kravitz has described this self-produced disc as his most personal recording to date, a description that's hard to argue with, given the intimate lyrical tenor of many of the album's 13 songs and the one-man-band makeup of many others.
		The success of "Again," the smash single from his 2000 hits package, appears to have registered with Kravitz, who surfaces a new crop of midtempo ballads here--all far stronger than "Again." "Yesterday Is Gone (My Dear Kay)" is a finely crafted tune on it's own, yet Kravitz experiments with atypical sounds.
		With access only close friendship allows, Seliger here captures Kravitz on the road, with his family, performing, in posed settings, with friends, and in the outrageous fashions that have become his signature style.
