As for the music, I suppose that's each to her/his own taste.

I suppose the difference is that I didn't have kids at the time, something addressed in a tragic context in the eulogy.

That said, it is, by far and away, the best reading of ee cumming's "Buffalo Bill" http://www.boppin.com/cummings.html I've ever heard, and IMHO worth the not insubstantial price of admission for that alone. Consider it as a raw shot of Ken Kesey, strait up, no chaser.
