On Sunday April 6th, a rather glorious day, I drove up to Woodstock to attend the Biographers Panel at the Woodstock Writers Festival, where my friend Henry Bushkin was holding forth about his memoir Johnny Carson. The panel, which was hosted by Will Hermes, a music writer who is working on a biography of Lou Reed, and included J. Michael Lennon, author of a biography of the Norman Mailer; Holly George Warren, the biographer of Alex Chilton; and Tom Folsom, author of a biography of Dennis Hopper. A lively and informative panel!
