Songwriters Hall of Fame

Here is an excerpt from Roger Friedman's article on the 40th annual Songwriters Hall of Fame:

Jon Bon Bovi and Richie Sambora gave two of the best speeches of the night accepting their award and playing “Wanted Dead or Alive.” Bon Jovi summed up the night when he said, “The business has changed a lot, but one thing they can’t take away is the song.” ... Luckily, the night was long on music and short on speeches. Richie Sambora said that when he met Jon Bon Jovi, he knew he had “it,” whatever “it” was.

Meanwhile, The Goddess Hathor has photos from the event here, here and here.

Haven't stumbled across any video footage as yet.
