Hoffman's conversation with his son Evan, a six-year old, opens the piece and essentially sets the theme of the piece. I noticed how Kent went back to his childhood through Evan, who, unbeknownst to himself, probably, becomes the narrator of the piece. Hoffman's feelings are best articulated by his son and sometimes they aren't even with actual words, but they are probably best explained that way. Listen to what Evan thinks of Rock n' Roll and Elvis Presley. And guess who his favorite band is, and why. How do the two remember Grandpa Arnold? It doesn't take long into the piece to find out for sure. A must listen!
