Our greatest poet makes Rock Hall of Fame

Leonard Cohen laughed at the "unlikely" absurdity last night at the Waldorf in New York but there he was with Madonna, the Dave Clark Five and all the rest. Lou Reed read some of the inductee's lyrics/poems, and then Leonard did too, from his "Tower of Song." He also gave props to Hank Williams -- and made a Springsteen reference -- along the way. Pure class. More Leonard all week.

UPDATE: Today's NYT reports tha Leonard has announced his first tour in years, starting June 6 in Toronto. Hallelujah! Leonard back on Boogie Street! Here's the 10-minute Hall of Fame induction.
