The ability, or talent, or whatever you want to call it, to take the personal and make it universal. I'm thinking here of songs like Dylan's 'Hurricane', Clapton's 'Tears in Heaven', Guthrie's 'Plane Crash at Los Gatos' (Deportees), Christy Moore's 'The Wicklow Boy'. There are lots of examples but these are a few that speak to me.
