When jazz musicians play in broken time, they improvise their own rhythms where the beat is not explicitly laid out for them. In his latest, soon-to-be-released book, jazz pianist and author Tim Clausen captures the stories of gay men from all walks of life, who have often had to improvise their own melodies over the unpredictable rhythms of their relationships with their fathers. In this episode, Tim and Dan talk about the vast range of father-son experiences detailed throughout his book, from fathers who were mostly or completely absent to exemplary dads who are unconditionally loving, accepting, and supportive, to fathers who were violent alcoholics, to those who disowned their son once his sexual orientation came to light. They also talk a little about Tim’s previous book, Love Together, which tells the stories of gay men in long-term relationships.
