美國傳奇歌手巴布狄倫（Bob Dylan）名作「Like A Rolling Stone」的歌詞手稿，24日在紐約拍賣會上以204萬5000美元（約新台幣6000萬元）落槌，創下流行音樂史天價記錄。
拍賣公司蘇富比（Sotheby's）表示，這4張手稿是「Like A Rolling Stone」唯一的一份定稿手稿，先前估計可以拍得100萬至200萬美元左右。手稿是以鉛筆寫在華府羅傑史密斯旅館（Roger Smith Hotel）的信箋上，除了塗塗改改的歌詞與註解，還有不少塗鴉：帽子、小鳥、一隻頭上有鹿角的奇怪動物。
1965年問世的「Like A Rolling Stone」，描寫一位上流社會出身的女子「Miss Lonely」如何淪落，讓24歲的巴布狄倫從民謠歌手躍升搖滾與流行音樂偶像，在「英倫入侵」（British Invasion）風潮中為美國搖滾樂獨樹一幟，對後世影響極大。
美國《滾石雜誌》（Rolling Stone Magazine）將「Like A Rolling Stone」封為史上500首最偉大歌曲之首，位於美國克利夫蘭的搖滾名人堂（Rock & Roll Hall of Fame）也將它列為「500首改變搖滾樂的歌曲」之一。
Like A Rolling Stone 歌詞
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People call say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall'
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
Ahh you've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
A complete unknown, like a rolling stone
Ah you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discovered that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To have on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
Ahh princess on a steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel, ah how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
