Rocker/Actor, LENNY KRAVITZ has criticized reality TV shows such as AMERICAN IDOL for producing a generation of fame-hungry kids who don't want to work for a living.
He is convinced that today's celebrity culture has a negative effect on kids - who all grow up wanting to be "famous" but don't want to work hard in their careers.
And Kravitz insists many young people see TV talent contests as an easy way to fame and fortune. He tells Britain's Glamour magazine, "(These shows) are a reflection of our society. You hear kids saying that they want to be famous, and when you ask them what for, they don't know - they just want to be famous. "It's like there is this lack of passion in the doing of something that that might bring you riches. When I was little, I never said I wanted to be famous, I said I wanted to be a musician. "I mean, I understand why people like (these TV shows), but will you find a Bob Dylan or a Bob Marley on there? It is what it is."
