Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.
You could argue the words Bob Dylan sings in his groundbreaking nineteen sixty five hit Mister Tambourine Man and their contribution to American culture are priceless, but the lyrics themselves they'll run you precisely. Five hundred and eight thousand dollars. Two sheets of typewritten yellow paper containing three drafts of the iconic lyrics were just auctioned over a half a million dollars, sixty years after the song was recorded. What's particularly interesting about these pages' origins is how Dylan's friend, the late journalist al Aronowitz, and their original owner, cand to possess them. He was hosting Bob at his New York apartment when Bob wrote Mister Tambourine Man one faithful evening. The next morning, I went to toss the crumbling pages from Bob's waste basket into the trash, but instead faithfully chose to keep them and tuck them into a folder. Sixty years later, those sheets, which were on the verge of becoming trash, are now worth over a half a million dollars. A complete unknown The Bob Dylan biopic is in theaters.
