Bob Dylan Handwritten & Signed Lyrics to “The Times They Are a-Changin'” — The Song of a Generation
Scarce handwritten and signed lyrics by Nobel-Prize winning lyricist Bob Dylan of his classic, “The Times They Are a-Changin'”. Considered one of the greatest songs ever written, its powerful lyrics have transcended the political turbulence of the 1960s that gave birth to them to inspire subsequent generations, revealing their timelessness in the human experience. In recent years, Dylan has shied away from playing his masterpiece in concert which has imbued it with an almost mythical quality. Dozens of major recording artists have covered the song through the years, including Simon & Garfunkel, Peter Paul & Mary, The Beach Boys, Nina Simone, Billy Joel, Joan Baez, Tracy Chapman, Bryan Ferry and Bruce Springsteen to name a few. Dylan wrote the song in the fall of 1963, shortly after Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington, wanting to create an anthem for social justice. As he said, folk music and the Civil Rights movement were natural allies and he felt he could make a contribution to the movement by writing a powerful, “hypnotic” anthem. It is one of the songs that earned Dylan a Nobel Prize in Literature, as the Nobel Committee wrote: “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” Handwritten lyrics by Dylan read in full, “The Times They Are-A-Changin’ Come gather around people wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth saving Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone For the times they are-a-changing Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide the chance won’t come again And don’t speak too soon for the wheel’s still in spin And there’s no telling who that it’s naming For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are-a-changing Come senators congressmen please heed the call Don’t stand in the doorway don’t block up the hall He that gets hurt will be he who has stalled There’s a battle outside and it’s raging It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are-a-changin’ Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don’t criticize what you can’t understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly aging Get out of the new one if you can’t lend a hand For the times they are-a-changin’ The line it is drawn the curse it is cast The slow one now will later be fast As the present now will later be past The order is rapidly fading And the first one now will later be last For the times they are-a-changin’ Bob Dylan”
Handwritten lyrics and signature have been authenticated by Bob Dylan’s manager. Single page measures 8.5″ x 11″. In near fine condition. Apart from the original draft, these are the only known lyrics of “The Times They Are a-Changin'” that have been offered at auction. Sold for $89,505.

In this highly personal letter, Michael reflects on ”true love”, his relationship with both his mother and father, ”the gift of and love of music”, and the ”long long road” he and Bray traveled together. Circa 1992, letter reads in full,
”Bill / It’s been a long long road, we have traveled throughout the years, concerts tours, meeting dignitaries, kings and queens of contries [sic], touring around the world twice, making people happy through the gift of and love of music. I’m coming of age now and really realize the importance of true love.
Joseph [Michael’s father] never ever had time for me, he only saw me as a way for him to make money. And as you know, Mother was a perfect Mother but I never was with her, my childhood was on stage away from Mother.
What I’m simply trying to say is thank you for being a Father. I don’t know what would have happened to me if you were not around. / I love you. / M.J.” On the verso, Michael writes ”Bill the Joker”.

One of the Rarest of 1960s Rock Posters — Janis Joplin & Big Brother and the Holding Company Poster From April 1968 — Featured in “Art of Rock”
Extremely rare poster for a 19 April 1968 Fresno concert by Janis Joplin, and Big Brother and the Holding Company, with The Mint Tattoo opening.

This poster was printed in a very limited run, and thus scarce, especially in the condition found here. It was chosen for its uniqueness and scarcity by Paul Grushkin for his reference book, “The Art of Rock from Presley to Punk”, found on plate 3.30 and thus identified as AOR-3.30. Measures 17″ x 24.25″. A well preserved poster with light creasing and edge wear, and a few small scuffs. Overall in very good plus condition. Sold for $4,000.
Very Rare Doors Poster From a 1967 Performance at the Kaleidoscope Club in Hollywood
Original circular hand-pulled silkscreen poster, promoting a three day performance by the up-and-coming band The Doors, at the Kaleidoscope Club in Hollywood on 21-23 April 1967. A series of 20 posters were issued by Kaleidoscope in 1967, one for each concert that year. This dayglo fluorescent poster is considered to be the most rare in the Kaleidoscope series because of the type of ink used by artist John Douglas Kline in production. Posters in this series are almost non-existent because they were issued for promotion only, and the silkscreens used to produce the posters were burned in a fire. The Kaleidoscope was a psychedelic rock venue run by the management of the band Canned Heat. It was only open for roughly six months in 1967, with many memorable bands performing in that brief time. The venue was housed at the Earl Carroll Theater, which was then located at 6230 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, and featured two concentrically rotating stages at the center of the venue. For The Doors performance, the show was moved to a club called Ciros, at 8433 W. Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, (which is now the Comedy Store) since the original location of the club at the Earl Carroll Theatre had yet to be finalized. Circular poster depicts a silhouette of the faces of The Doors, with the band names in psychedelic 60’s font, and is printed in bright shades in a color combination meant to play tricks on the eye, as if looking through a psychedelic kaleidoscope. Previously owned by Alan Brackett, the original bass player in the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, who played with The Doors at this venue, along with The UFO. Poster measures 18.75″ in diameter, with some pinholes around the edge and very minor creasing. Near fine condition. Sold for $3,936.
