IR Blogpost 2b: Bob Dylan Handwritten Lyrics are For Sale-Todayshow
In New York City, Bob Dylan's handwritten lyrics to The Times are A-Changin are on their way to the auction house. These lyrics are date back to 1963 and are signed by Bob Dylan. It is estimated that they will sell for between $200,000 and $300,000. That's a lot for this creased and torn sheet of paper. Now why wouldn't something like this, if it is indeed genuine, go to a museum? And who's selling it? That was never specified. I think this ought to go to a museum. It's a well known political anthem and it doesn't belong in someone's personal collection.

Wow, its amazing that people are finding stuff like that. I can't believe it. As for needing to be in a museum, I feel as though if a person found that - it does belong to them. However, I would encourage them to put it in a museum or for some display, but I do believe it is up to their discretion. It is neat though that they are signed by him.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to think how so much of our popular culture has such humble beginnings. I remember the story of how J.K. Rowling, a struggling writer at the time, came up with the idea of Harry Potter in a coffeeshop and jotted it down on a piece of napkin she was using.
