Leonard Cohen to Be Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame

by Danny Fisher

The BBC reports that Leonard Cohen will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame this summer.  Mr. Cohen is a Zen practitioner and sometimes-monk who has lived off-and-on at the Mt. Baldy Zen Center in Mount Baldy, CA. His ordination name, Jikhan, means “silence.”  Congratulations, sir.
