\nTonight I (Ok, I dragged Dylan along too) went to see Arthur Phillips read from and discuss his new book,”The Song is You<\/a>” at Politics and Prose in Washington, DC<\/a>. At one point Mr. Phillips was asking the audience if anyone did Billie Holiday impressions: “…anyone? How about you, young man?” as he pointed at Dylan. Dylan just shook his head and then leaned over to me and asked “Who’s Billie Holiday<\/a>?”. Ah, youth.<\/p>\n

Another humorous section was when the author was reading in the book and came to the bit where the character was talking about getting a couple of college girls to go back to his room to play “strip Trivial Pursuit”. “That, by the way, is the only autobiographical bit in the book”, said Mr. Phillips. :)<\/p>\n
