block

Bob Dylan’s handwritten lyrics to Lay Lady Lay, a cheeky self-portrait by Kurt Cobain and five guitars designed by the late Eddie Van Halen are among 1,300 items going up for auction in June. A series of hand-written letters from Britney Spears to her high school boyfriend will also be offered for sale in the Music Icons event at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills. The lyrics to Dylan’s 1969 song, written in pencil on a sheet of notepaper from a lumber company, carry an estimate of $500,000-600,000.
