Handwritten song lyrics from legendary American singer Bob Dylan sold for $2 million at auction in New York on Tuesday, the most treasured possession in a trove of rock memorabilia up for sale. The handwritten copy of Dylan & #039;s original lyrics for the 1965 epic & quot;Like A Rolling Stone, & quot; which transformed him from a folk musician into a rock icon, had been valued at $1-2 million by Sotheby & #039;s before the auction. Named by Rolling Stone Magazine as the greatest of 500 greatest songs of all time, Sotheby & #039;s went so far as to say the lyrics transformed the course of pop music in the 20th century. & quot;The Holy Grail of rock lyrics has taken its rightful place as the most expensive popular music manuscript sold at auction, & quot; said Richard Austin, head of Tuesday & #039;s sale at Sotheby & #039;s.
