Not new but recently rediscovered...

Here is a fun one from musician Pete Townshend.

About twenty years ago I wrote to him about his decision to deny Michael Moore the use of a Who song in one of his movies. I was living overseas when I wrote to him so he probably thought I was a Brit, hence the playful little dig at Americans.

I'm still looking for that one to join the copies of "Now" I found -- haven't caught it in the wild yet. Always was a fantastic signer.

Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and others — Newport Folk Festival 1963, Saturday morning Ballads workshop, Porch No. 1, Newport Casino, Newport, RI, previously undocumented original ticket, signed by Joan Baez to the rear:

A Baez signature on a 1963 Dylan ticket is nothing to be sniffed at, but that is not where the real value lies here. The ticket itself is extremely rare. So much so that I could not find another clear example online to compare it to. So, this is new information to the Dylan collecting community.
