迷っていたんですが、Ana Paula Valleがまたレニーをフォローして、ポストにライクもし始めたので、書いておくことにしました。

レニーは先日、ルーツ・ピクニックというフェスに出演したんですが、かなり酷い機材のトラブルに見舞われていたんですよ……。
Lenny Kravitz has long been on the Roots Picnic’s dream lineup, and in 2025, he finally made good on his word to stand on that iconic stage. Co-headlining Day 2 alongside Philadelphia’s own Meek Mill, the rock legend brought his signature blend of soul, funk, and rock to Fairmount Park — even as things behind the scenes weren’t going as planned.
Technical issues disrupted his set multiple times, forcing Kravitz to step off stage on at least two occasions so the crew could troubleshoot. But instead of letting it kill the momentum, he remained open and honest with the crowd. “I wanna come out here and do my best for y’all, and s—t just keeps breaking,” he said. “But that’s all right, that’s all right.”
With three and a half decades in the game since his 1989 debut Let Love Rule, Kravitz has mastered the art of poise under pressure. “Regardless of the situation, we stay positive, we give thanks, we’re here to amplify love,” he reminded the audience. And when he returned to the stage for good, that love radiated through every note. Even in imperfection, Kravitz gave Roots Picnic a perfect moment.
黒人系メディアからの取材のオファーを、レニーのパブリシストが断っていることが判明しているし、レニーはクエストラヴと仲がいいのに、ルーツ・ピクニックに出演するのは今回が初めてだったということもあって、はっきりした証拠はありませんが、また嫌がらせなのではないかと疑っていたところにAna Paula Valleの件があったので、ほぼ間違いないのではないかと私は考えています……。
レニーは優秀なスタッフを雇っているはずだし、これほど酷いトラブルが起こるなんて、素人目にもちょっとおかしいですからね……。

こちらは、フェス直前の5月末の記事です。
“It was only a matter of time,” Questlove told The Inquirer. “We almost had him two years ago, but it’s always been: ‘I promise you next year.’ So he’s making good on that promise.”
“I made it a point to be sure I was available this year,” Kravitz said speaking via Zoom from New York. “The Roots are friends and colleagues and family. It’s something that I wanted to do, and play for that audience.”
ちなみに、ほとんどのメディアは、機材のトラブルの件については触れていませんでした。
