Typed “I’m Not There” draft reportedly discovered
Winactiekaart reports that a torn page of typed draft lyrics for Bob Dylan’s “I’m Not There” was found inside a first-edition paperback of Allen Ginsberg’s “Ankor Wat.” The book was reportedly previously owned by Sally Grossman, a close Dylan associate and wife of his first manager. The find is linked to Dylan’s prolific 1967 writing-and-recording period with The Band and is expected to draw memorabilia-market interest.
Why it matters
If authenticated, the page could add rare documentary evidence of Dylan’s lyric development around the Basement Tapes era.

Winactiekaart coverageNew analysis revisits “One Of Us Must Know”
Jochen Markhorst, writing for Bob Dylan, published a July 20 review-style analysis of “One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later).” The piece draws on discs 11 and 12 of “The Cutting Edge – Collector’s Edition,” citing roughly twenty rehearsal attempts with shifting accompaniment, lyrics, melody, and tempo. It also notes the song’s limited chart impact, long setlist absence, 1976 return, and later cover versions by artists including Emma Swift, Chip Taylor, and Jan Barten.
Why it matters
The piece consolidates session and cover-history evidence around a major “Blonde on Blonde” track, though it is primarily analytical rather than breaking news.

OPEN QUESTION
Will the lyric page be authenticated?
The reported “I’m Not There” draft’s importance depends on provenance, handwriting or typing evidence, and whether auction documentation can substantiate the Sally Grossman connection.
OPEN QUESTION
Is today mostly archival signal?
The strongest items are a reported memorabilia discovery and retrospective criticism, with little evidence of current Dylan activity or official announcements.
