I'm so glad he won. True lyrical storytellers are hard to find these days. I only knew one on a personal level, his name was Brother Blue. You can read about him here:

Brother Blue - Wikipedia

He was a fixture in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA when I was a street musician there. We spent many hours hanging out together with the rest of the "street people," discussing everything from philosophy and religion to street fashion (it was an actual thing), to the pair of amphibian cars that we often saw parked outside the Garage.

His presence was missed and from what I recall, Queen Elizabeth II sent a personal condolence card to his wife Ruth after he passed away.
