Bob Dylan's 'Like A Rolling Stone' Lyrics Fetch Record Amount
06/25/2014
.
(Classic Rock) Bob Dylan's original draft of the lyrics to his 1965 classic "Like A Rolling Stone" sold at an auction for over $2 million this week, setting a new price record.

It's now the most expensive rock music manuscript ever auctioned, after Sotheby's had estimated it would go for half the amount. The price tag soared beyond the $1.2m cost of John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for 1967 Beatles track A Day In The Life.

Dylan wrote his words on four sheets of headed notepaper from the Roger Smith Hotel in Washington, DC. The pages include scribbles, ideas and unused lyrics including a reference to gangster Al Capone and the line "Dry vermouth / you'll tell the truth." more on this story
