It Is Time for a Love Revolution (by Lenny Kravitz, Rock)
common sense media says
Classic retro-rock preaches about love.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Lenny Kravitz has a lot of positive things to say about love, life, and being true and good to yourself. There is some mention of drugs, but in reference to the evil of addiction and disregarding the frivolous things in life for what's really important. The rocker isn't afraid to talk about faith in his songs; two tracks mention God and Jesus.
Violence:
"Back in Vietnam" touches on violent themes: "We're gonna keep on riding til' the enemy's been severed/...men, women, children will die/we're all in this together." In "Dancin' til' Dawn" "like a bullet from a gun/the DJ makes a run" is repeated several times in chorus, but only as a metaphor.
Sex:
Only one line that says "Don't need no one to get me laid."
Language:
Pretty clean; "s--t", "hell," and "damn" are all used once.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some reference to drugs, but in a way that is condemning them: "Don't need no marijuana/don't need no ecstasy/don't need no blow or sleeping aids" and "You fool yourself when you live a lie/spend all of your time gettin' high/but drunken nights won't bury your fears."

Love is all we need
I am such a true fan of Lenny Kravitz there really is nothing more I can say. It was worth every penny, I had to buy 2 copies, one for my house and one for my car so that I would have it available at all times. I have to have my dose... especially the goodmorning song. 1st thing to hear is great and to tell you the truth the way he asks about marriage is the way I hope to be proposed to one day- serinade by guitar riffs!! what more could a girl ask for...Lenny Kravitz, Will you Marry Me?

Great Album
This album is really awesome. Lenny Kravitz is an extremely talented musician. I think this album is suitable for anyone, personally. But on "Back in Vietnam", there are some violent lines. One thing to remember is that these lines are rebelling against the violence. They are not trying to make violence look like a good thing. But, it's a good album. =)
