Frankly the only reason I am posting this is because one of my hero’s Elvis Costello has been nominated. But if you look through the list there are a few other strong nominations including Leonard Cohen.
Performer/Songwriters:
- Bono (Paul Hewson)/The Edge (David Evans)/Adam Clayton/Larry Mullen (U2)
- Garth Brooks
- Leonard Cohen
- Elvis Costello
- Dion DiMucci
- David Gates (Bread)
- Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens)
- Tommy James
- John Mellencamp
- Lou Reed

More about the award process: Three songwriters will be chosen by the membership from the Non-Performing category, and two from the Performing.
