Bob Dylan Signed, Handwritten Lyrics to “Like a Rolling Stone” — The Quintessential Rock Song — With COA From Dylan’s Manager
One of the most covered and influential songs of all time, “Like a Rolling Stone” lyrics are here handwritten and signed by their creator, Bob Dylan. With this song, Dylan reinvigorated his passion for his own work and fully embraced rock music as a complement to folk. Clocking in at 6 1/2 minutes long, the song was initially thought too long to be commercially successful, until listeners in the mid-60s harassed radio stations to play it in its entirety. “Like a Rolling Stone” has been covered by Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and countless others, and inspired even more. Bruce Springsteen first heard it when he was 15 years old: “on came that snare shot that sounded like somebody’d kicked open the door to your mind…The way that Elvis freed your body, Dylan freed your mind, and showed us that because the music was physical did not mean it was anti-intellect. He had the vision and talent to make a pop song so that it contained the whole world. He invented a new way a pop singer could sound, broke through the limitations of what a recording could achieve, and he changed the face of rock’n’roll for ever and ever.” Handwritten lyrics read in full:
“Like a Rolling Stone
Once upon a time you dressed so fine threw the bums a dime in your prime didn’t you
People call say beware doll you’re bound to fall you thought they were all kiddin’ you
You used to laugh about everybody that was hanging out
Now you don’t talk so loud now you don’t act so proud
’bout having to be scrounging for your next meal
How does it feel How does it feel
To be on your own, with no direction home like a complete unknown
Like a Rolling Stone
You’ve gone to the finest school all right Miss Lonely but you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody ever taught you how to live out on the street and now you’re gonna have to get used to it
You said you’d never compromise with the mystery tramp but now you realize
He’s not selling any alibi and you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal
How does it feel how does it feel
To be on your own with no direction home like a complete unknown
Like a Rolling Stone
You’ve never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers or the clowns when they all came down and did tricks for you
You’ve never understood it ain’t no good you should never let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Aint it hard when you discover that he really wasn’t where it’s at
After he’s taken everything he can steal
How does it feel How does it feel
To be on your own with no direction home like a complete unknown
Like a Rolling Stone
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people drinking thinkin’ that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts and things, you better take your diamond rings, you better pawn ’em babe
You used to be so amused at Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now he calls you and you can’t refuse. When you got nothing you got nothing to lose
You’re invisible you got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel how does it feel
To be on your own with no direction home like a complete unknown
Like a Rolling Stone
Bob Dylan”
Single page measures 8.5″ x 11″. In near fine condition. With COA from Jeff Rosen, Bob Dylan’s manager. Sold for $90,000.
Intimate Handwritten Letter by John Lennon on Transcendental Meditation — “…you are searching for ‘something’ (truth) the same as every one else – whether they know it or not. We have been lucky in meeting Maharishi…”
A personal autograph letter by John Lennon signed, “Lots of love John Lennon x”, responding to a fan’s inquiry about transcendental meditation. Lennon writes in an encouraging and unassuming manner, clearly happy to connect with a stranger about a subject he felt passionate about. Undated, though circa late 1967, letter reads in full, “Dear Jean, Thank you for your letter. It makes complete sense to me – you are searching for ‘something’ (truth) the same as everyone else – whether they know it or not. We have been lucky in meeting Maharishi – but his method is simple enough to be taught by the teachers he has taught. We are continuing our ‘lessons’ with these English teachers and I suggest you get in touch with them and find for yourself a nice bit of inner peace. The address is over-leaf. S.R.M. Foundation of Gt. Britain / 20 Grosvenor Place / London, S.W.I. / England / Lots of love, John Lennon x. Try it – it really works and it’s easy.” Letter also includes John’s partial address at top (“Kenwood, etc.”) Double-sided letter on blue writing paper measures 5.5″ x 7″. Accompanied by (1) original stamped addressed envelope postmarked Weybridge 6 September 1967; (2) letter from “Jean,” explaining that as a Beatles fan she wrote to John Lennon asking about transcendental meditation, having gotten his address from her employer, a florist who had a contract with Brian Epstein’s offices. She included a stamped addressed envelope, as was the way, in the hope it would encourage Lennon to reply. A lovely handwritten letter by Lennon displaying his accessibility and personal values of self discovery. In near fine condition with still bold writing. Accompanied by certificate of authenticity from PSA/DNA certifying that this John Lennon memorabilia is authentic. We sold it for $28,000.
Contract rider for the Beatles 28 August 1965 concert in San Diego at Balboa Stadium, signed by the ”fifth Beatle,” their manager Brian Epstein. This concert was a particularly well-documented event in rock and roll history symbolizing Beatlemania; it was added last-minute to the itinerary of their 1965 North America tour in response to popular demand, and an incident immediately followed the show in which the Beatles’ tour bus broke down and was damaged by a frenzied mob of crazed fans. Typed rider is also signed by a representative from the event purchaser Sight and Sound Productions. The Beatles’ live performance requirements are spelled out in the eleven point rider, including security considerations and crowd control. Also present is their famous requirement that they not play before a segregated audience. Rider arranges for the Fab Four’s transportation from Los Angeles to San Diego for the concert and guarantees the following terms: ”not less than 150 uniformed officers” were to be provided and more if necessary; a ”strong fence or barrier…to prevent any of the audience from climbing over”; also a ”platform for Ringo Starr and his drums” and a high-fidelity sound system equipped with a ”first class sound engineer”; a dressing room with ”four cots, mirrors, an ice cooler, portable TV set and clean towels”; a guest list not to exceed 50 complimentary tickets; one press conference and no further media engagements at the event; prohibition of ticket sales in advance of 31 May 1965; transportation including ”Two seven-passenger Cadillac limousines (air-conditioned if possible) with chauffeurs” and prohibition of unauthorized merchandise sales and bootlegging at the show. Incidentally, the Beatles encountered transportation snafus both coming and going – the airline workers’ strike coincided with their planned flight to San Diego and a touring coach instead brought the band from LA via Highway 1. Three-page document on 3 sheets measures 8.5” x 11”. Toning, creasing and staple punctures to the upper left, else near fine. A scarce record of the Beatles. Sold for $10,780.

George Harrison writes his very personal thoughts on spirituality to fellow Beatle Ringo Starr in this booklet entitled, ”Fourteen Scientific Reasons Why No One Dies” published by Swami Omkarananda, Divine Light Zentrum, Switzerland. The Beatles traveled to India together in 1968 to study transcendental meditation with the Maharishi, an experience which had a profound influence on both their music and personal lives. Harrison especially embraced Hinduism, evident in this one-of-a-kind booklet, expressing his thoughts on spirituality and the guidance it gave him post-Beatles. On the title page, he encircles the title, writes, ”Ringo” and draws a six pointed star. Then he writes, ”to help us not feel too bad – as we continue dropping apart”. On the inside front cover, the former Beatle writes, ”From G.H. / New Years Eve/Day A.D. 1974 / Titenhurst [sic] Pk”. Tittenhurst Park, originally owned by John Lennon, was sold to Ringo Starr in 1973. Harrison also writes ”274 Dwapara” and a symbol for Hinduism. A 2” x 2.25” photo of Harrison at the keyboard is affixed to the verso of the title page. He writes, ”I was in the greatest show on Earth” surrounded by musical notes and followed by the words ”death” and ”rebirth”. Harrison writes a list of ages beginning with, ”and now I’m only 32” and ending with, ”only now I’m 37”. ”33” — Ringo’s age in 1973 — is crossed off. In the margin, Harrison writes, ”is there life after birth? / see page 23” where he has underlined ”for the more highly evolved man, death bursts the narrow circle within which material life has imprisoned a consciousness.” Underlinings occur throughout the 43pp. booklet containing writings of scientists and philosophers as well as those of the swami. Harrison annotates verses from the New Testament on page 7 with this comment: ”Neither are you the slayer nor are you slain (Bgvd Gita)”. On page 38, Harrison adds an asterisk and ”Knots in the string” after a quote about immortality. He draws a sun and musical notes on page 43 above a sentence that he alters to read, ”When the Sun sets ‘in the sky’ do you say, it is dead, and all is over?” On this last page of text, he again draws the symbol of Hinduism. The booklet is profusely filled with Harrison’s intimate thoughts on eastern spirituality, giving fascinating insight into his music and his affection for his former band mate. Moderate dampstaining, soiling and partial separation at staple binding to 4” x 5” paperback booklet, overall very good condition. With a COA by Roger Epperson. Sold for $8,908.

Very attractive Fan Club photo card with The Beatles autographs; “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” “John Lennon” and “Ringo Starr.” Each man signed his name in red ball point pen near his respective image.

Official Fan Club signed cards are quite rare, as secretaries would often sign them them in lieu of the Fab Four themselves. Light spot of discoloration above Paul McCartney’s image and creasing to corners. The ink in Paul’s name also ran out as he was signing so the “tney” is not readily visible. Paper and tape residual to verso from being affixed to a photo album. Overall an exceptional, clean piece. Measures 5.5″ x 4.25″ With Frank Caiazzo COA certifying that the Beatles autographs are authentic. Sold for $8,400.
