“A Hard Rain”’s A-Gonna Sell

Here’s an item of interest to everybody who feels Bob Dylan’s words are pure gold. Like last year, when Dylan’s original handwritten lyrics for “Like a Rolling Stone” were sold for over two million dollars at Sotheby’s, an original typewritten draft of the lyrics for his 1962 folk anthem “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” will go up for auction in September and is also expected to fetch a high price. You can hear “Rolling Stone” and other classic, potentially pricey songs like “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and “Subterranean Homesick Blues” in D. A. Pennebaker’s legendary Dylan documentary Dont Look Back, which we’re releasing in November.
