Bob Dylan lyrics could get up to $60k at auction
‘Go Away You Bomb’ lyrics from 1963 could bring $30,000 to $50,000
The lyrics of two early unrecorded Bob Dylan songs are going on the auction block.
Christie’s says the typed lyrics being offered on Thursday include handwritten annotations.
The original 1962 Talkin Folklore Centre manuscript could fetch $40,000-$60,000 (Dh146,800-Dh220,300).
The Go Away You Bomb lyrics from 1963 could bring $30,000 to $50,000.
Dylan gave the lyrics to the founder of the legendary Folklore Centre in Greenwich Village. Izzy Young produced Dylan’s first important concert in New York at the Carnegie Chapter Hall on November 4, 1961.
Dylan wrote Talkin after Young asked him to write a song about the Folklore Centre store.
Go Away You Bomb was written for an unpublished book Young was compiling of anti-nuclear songs.
