Jon Bon Jovi considers writing classic songs as a way of being remembered throughout time. “It's the closest thing to immortality as we're ever gonna see here,” he said. There may be another way: the Songwriters Hall of Fame. And on Thursday night, the New Jersey rocker and his writing partner, Richie Sambora, joined Crosby, Stills and amp; Nash for one of music's top honors. Also honored at the induction ceremony, which represented the Songwriters Hall's 40th anniversary, was Jason Mraz, who was given the Hal David Starlight Award honoring a younger artist's promise. Mraz performed his hit single “I'm Yours” to the delight of the crowd of his more established peers.
