This isn’t your ordinary music memorabilia auction, and it isn’t your ordinary collectible. 1965′s “Like a Rolling Stone” is the definitive song by Bob Dylan, the Hibbing native who’s widely regarded as the single greatest songwriter of the rock era. An early handwritten manuscript of the song’s lyrics, scrawled on stationery from the Roger Smith Hotel in Washington, will be auctioned next month at Sotheby’s in New York. Based on the $1.2 million price John Lennon’s “A Day in the Life” lyrics earned in 2010, the auction house expects that the “Like a Rolling Stone” lyrics might fetch up to $2 million.
