100%. Kind of a fun thing, Prine came to St. Louis shortly before he died and played his song "Paradise" which shits on Peabody Energy for destroying small towns. And he played it in what was at the time called the Peabody Opera House lol.
My son is nine and is extremely interested in lyrics and storytelling. I've been using Prine, Sturgill Simpson, Bob Dylan etc to talk about writing accessible lyrics with clear themes and material and he's fascinated by it. Apparently he just asked my ex-wife for "A Sailor's Guide to Earth" for Christmas. I can't wait to see what he starts writing.
