Things I wish I had money to afford.

Live auctions September 6-8 for such items as the handwritten handwritten early draft of Bohemian Rhapsody among other cool things.

Seems a little late, doesnt it?

That was my thought.

omg can you imagine getting your hands on that, owning it, and displaying it in your home?! that would be so freakin badass. I'm guessing it might double or triple your homeowners insurance though. God I'd love to own that.

An early hand-written draft of Bohemian Rhapsody would certainly be a cool piece of rock history.

But...I'm just a poor boy from a poor family...

Well played!

When I visited the Rock & Roll HOF a while back (25 years ago….you know back when you actually had to perform rock music to be inducted) one of the coolest things I saw was early handwritten draft of Purple Haze. Original title was Purple Haze Jesus Saves.

Hopefully this piece of history ends up on public display somewhere as well.

Ray Charles, James Brown, Robert Johnson, Jimmie Rodgers, and Sam Cooke were all members of the inaugural class back in 1986 so it's never been all rock & roll artists. It's amusing how so many people get their panties in a twist about this.
