Last questions (from me, at least):

How much say did your wife, Jennifer, have in what went into the book? Who did you consult with on your manuscript drafts, aside from your editor?

Hey Everyone,

Unfortunately there are only fifteen minutes left in the chat. Jim will try to answer as many questions as time permits.

Cool, thanks.

I was almost kidding about the support group! But seriously, that's awesome.

You seem to have found a way to embrace a kind of fatherhood incorporates your work life as a musician and moreover, punk ethics. Did your attitudes about punk music and ideology change after becoming a dad?

So any plans for a book tour? You could also start a new parenting support group: Punks Turned Parents.

Jim,

What inspired you to write this book, and what (if anything) would you like people to come away with after reading Punk Rock Dad?

Jim, this message was submitted in advance by Gather member Joy D: It kind of seems like punk music is inherently "young." I guess you'd disagree with that...? Are there other punk parents you turn to, to commiserate?

Welcome to Gather, Jim. We look forward to spending the next hour talking with you about life as a punk band frontman, fatherhood, and writing it all down in your memoir, Punk Rock Dad.

Wow that's awesome! Very nice renovation. I've heard a lot about how home projects can cause a bunch of stress among couples--it's a big commitment and decision.

Glad to see that you and your husband found a way to continue growing together, as manifested in the successful completion of your beautiful, new kitchen.

Victoria, Which stories resonated most with you?

This question is for anyone reading the chat who has read the book, too!

Marina W. asks: What are your thoughts on women who become "the other woman?"

Do you think that women who are the mistresses can ever be satisfied with their lot?

How have men responded to this book? Is it different from women readers' responses?

As a follow up to Denise's question: Your "Up up" article also implies a kind of similarity between the betrayal you experienced with that writer's guild before compiling The Other Woman, and affairs and the betrayal women have felt. Is that reading too much into it?
