- Lenny Kravitz will friend-up with MySpace for a contest that will allow some of Kravitz’s pals on the social network site to hang out with the rocker on his tour bus during the trek for his new album It Is Time for a Love Revolution.

Applicants have until tomorrow to enter, so head over to Kravitz’s page for a chance at a seat.
