Music Video of the Day: American Woman by Lenny Kravitz (1999, dir by Paul Hunter)


I’m just going to say it.  The Lenny Kravitz version of American Woman is a hundred times better than the Guess Who version.  I know that some people have criticized Kravitz for stripping away the film’s political subtext but I’ve listened to the original song and the politics were dumb.

As for the video, I want Heather Graham’s car.  I also like this video because it reminds me of my cousins.  The Bowman family reunion in Arkansas is always home to a lot of motorcycles and a lot of American flags.

Enjoy!
