And Finally
Dylan and Clapton stuff sells at auction
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 13 December 2010
Handwritten lyrics for Bob Dylan’s ‘The Times They Are A-Changin’, featuring the words to four verses jotted on a scrap of paper by the musician in the 60s, sold for $422,500 at an auction at Sotheby’s in New York on Friday, far exceeding the expected sale price of between $200,000 and $300,000.
Eric Clapton will be hoping to have similar luck when he sells off his guitar collection in aid of the Crossroads Centre in Antigua, a rehab clinic he set up in the late 90s. As well as his own guitars and other equipment, instruments have been donated by Jeff Beck, JJ Cale and Joe Bonamassa. The items will go on display at Bonhams in London between 23 and 26 Jan before being sold by the auction house on 9 Feb.
