just talked to Terry (and Francis) and they were both surprised at your interpretation of Burton's reaction to the discussion of his sexual orientation. She had said prior to the interview that if there was anything he did not want to discuss she would not discuss it, and he did not object in the interview itself. I have not read the passage in his book, but my sense of the way the interview is described on Amazon is that he was somewhat surprised but quite ready to come out. Also, from what I know about her and that show, if he had said, at the time, that he did not want to discuss it, she would not have it. Also, not long afterwards, Burton appeared on a panel with Francis at the Village Vanguard that was about gay jazz musicians. He knew Francis was married to Terry and indicated no discomfort (and of course agreed to appear on the panel). As for her interviewing style, it is completely unfair to accuse her of tending to get too personal. The 'getcha' style of interview is just not Terry.
