Handwritten lyrics to an unpublished Bob Dylan song from 1961 will be auctioned off this week, Rolling Stone reports. The song, which is about Wisconsin, will be sold on March 30. Bidding will open at $30,000. According to the report, Dylan wrote the song when he was 20 just after he’d moved to New York City and signed with Columbia Records. It followed an unfruitful period working around Madison in 1960 after Dylan dropped out of the University of Minnesota. Dylan reportedly gave the lyric sheet to his former roommate Peter Crago. The winning bid comes with a certificate of authenticity. Earlier today, it was reported that Dylan will finally accept his Nobel Prize for Literature with the condition that he can deliver a taped Nobel lecture.
