Mike, be specific...what do you admire about Jason's lyrics. please don't be vague...quote lines and why you feel they're well written. comparing Jason to Dylan seems like a bad analogy...go to allmusic.com ...artists there are listed with their influences. Dylan's name comes up all the time. never seen Jason's. Last year's article in American Songwriter had many interviews with classic writers concerning their influences. Dylan was mentioned by several writers...Jason wasn't.

Ande, does Jason teach a course in business(networking etc) or a course in how to write a good song. In the area of songwriting, I only suggest anyone being asked to shell out good money examine the "teacher's" own work. I would think any such teacher would welcome the examination.

another angle is this: devotees of these teachers often sing their praises. Have a look at what these students write. if their writing is fresh and creative, that's a solid recommendation right there. if it's not...that tells you something, too.
