Lost Dylan lyrics reportedly found in Ginsberg book
Massorhiggi reports that torn typed working lyrics for Bob Dylan's "I'm Not There" were discovered inside a first-edition paperback of Allen Ginsberg's "Ankor Wat." The draft is believed to date from 1967, placing it near Dylan and The Band's highly productive New York writing and recording period.
Why it matters
If authenticated, the fragments would add a rare documentary reference point for studying Dylan's lyric development around a major creative phase.
