We sit in silence a moment, and then I say, "Congratulations on the new album --" and then I freeze, struck by my own dullness, but my brain reassembles. "It's a really beautiful album," I continue. "I especially love 'I Love the Rain.' "

"Thanks, man," he says, smiling.

We pull up to the club. There's a crowd of about 50 people waiting to get in. Kravitz gets out of the car, and he's met immediately by a large black bouncer who has the physique of two washing machines stacked on top of each other. The bouncer leads as we bypass the line and make our way through the club. Men and women stare at Kravitz, and some reach for him, just to touch him. They look at me, wondering what a human fishhook is doing with Lenny Kravitz.

We make it to the back of the club, and there's a VIP setup of banquettes. A small group of people are standing and dancing in this area, and the bouncer introduces Kravitz to a fellow with a weakish chin. I realize that it's Zach Braff, but he must be a lesser VIP, because he doesn't get a seat at one of the banquettes, but Kravitz and I do.

We sit down, and the bouncer points out to Kravitz a loose-limbed, frat-boyish fellow dancing with an attractive blonde a few feet away. The bouncer recedes, as well as two stacked washing machines can recede, and Kravitz calls out to the frat boy, "John!" This John doesn't hear him, and so Kravitz repeats himself: "John!…John!…John!" By the last "John," the guy finally snaps out of his goofy dance and peers over. He comes and shakes Kravitz's hand and mine, smiles, and goes back to his blonde.

"Who's that?" I shout over the din.

"That's John Mayer," Kravitz shouts back.

I recognize the name and know that he's famous, but I'm not sure why. "Is he a musician?" I shout.

"Yeah, he's a great guitar player."

I look over at John Mayer and realize that the blonde he's dancing with is Cameron Diaz. She's doing a version of her Charlie's Angels ass wiggle.
