Two sheets of weathered yellow paper with typewritten lyrics and scribbled edits by Bob Dylan to one of his best-known songs, \u201cMr. Tambourine Man,\u201d sold for $508,000 Saturday, Jan. 18, at Julien\u2019s Auctions.<\/p>\n

The early draft of the song was saved by rock journalist Al Aronowitz, who gained notoriety throughout the 1960s covering the era\u2019s artists and musicians, including Dylan, who wrote the song one night using Aronowitz\u2019s typewriter at the journalist\u2019s home in New Jersey. The lyrics were part of a personal collection of rock memorabilia saved by Aronowitz, who died in 2005.<\/p>\n

Although not a hit for Dylan, a version of \u201cMr. Tambourine Man\u201d by the Byrds was a smash, reaching number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1965. Dylan, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016, is experiencing a Hollywood moment with the release of the new movie, \u201cA Complete Unknown,\u201d which stars Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> and chronicles Dylan\u2019s early career.<\/p>\n

In a 1973 column for The New York Sunday News<\/em> preserved on his personal website, Al Aronowitz wrote<\/a> of the evening Dylan began drafting the song at the journalist\u2019s New Jersey home.<\/p>\n

\u201cBob wrote \u2018Mr. Tambourine Man\u2019 one night in my house in Berkeley Heights, N.J., sitting with my portable typewriter at my white Formica breakfast bar in a <\/strong>swirl of chain-lit Camels cigarette smoke, his bony, long-nailed fingers tapping the words out on my stolen canary-colored Saturday Evening Post copy paper,\u201d Aronowitz wrote of the evening.<\/p>\n

Aronowitz wrote of emptying his trash can the morning after, as Dylan crashed on his couch. \u201cA whispering emotion caught me,\u201d Aronowitz wrote. He pulled the discarded, yellowed sheets out of the waste bin, read Dylan\u2019s working lyrics and saved the papers.<\/p>\n

At the time he wrote the song, Dylan had just split with his girlfriend, Suze Rotolo<\/a>, who had appeared on the cover of his famed 1963 album, \u201cThe Freewheelin\u2019 Bob Dylan.\u201d<\/a> \u201cMr. Tambourine Man\u201d was eventually recorded and released on Dylan\u2019s 1965 album, \u201cBringing\u00a0It All Back Home.\u201d<\/p>\n
