judyg Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/words-of-redemption-explore-the-lyrics-to-springsteens-thunder-road?locale=en Title says it all. Bruce's handwritten lyrics to Thunder Road are being auctioned off by Sotheby's New York as part of their Fine Books and Manuscripts auction. Their estimate of sale price: $40,000 to $60,000. I wonder who owned it and is selling it? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kent Guitar Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 See the sways/waves difference in the written lyrics/article. Sloppy stuff. Wouldn’t mind buying them though. Any suggestions of how to get it past Mrs G? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eileen Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Vindicated! It sways. Oh heck … no man, it waves I tell ya! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eileen Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I wonder why many of us were convinced that it waved? I suppose I could go and check the vinyl but was it printed as waves on the album? He told Michele (I think it was) ages ago that it sways. Harrumph! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That has created the confusion. He sings Sways. As far as I can tell always has. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
