This is a signed copy of Bob Dylan's new book. The book was signed specifically for this auction in November of 2022.

The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan's first book of new writing since 2004's Chronicles: Volume One-and since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over sixty essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyzes what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan's unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150 carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work's transcendence.

Our friends at Pearl Jam always support our fundraising efforts. This limited-edition poster is signed by the legendary rock band. Signed by all members of the band, including Mike McCready who has Crohn's Disease, this poster is from this year's show at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario. Signatures are authentic. In 1991, Pearl Jam's debut album, Ten, catapulted the little-known Seattle-based band into superstardom. Over the past 30 years, the band has remained a major force in rock and roll, as much for its aggressive loyalty to its social and political principles and restless experimentation as for its rock radio staples and bestselling albums. In 2011, Pearl Jam celebrated their 20-year anniversary with the release of the film Pearl Jam Twenty along with an accompanying book and soundtrack. 2020 marks 30 years of Pearl Jam performing live. Eleven studio albums, hundreds of unique live performances and official live concert bootleg releases later, the band continues to be critically acclaimed and commercially successful, with over 85 Million albums sold worldwide. Pearl Jam was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.

Wallflowers Album Exit Wounds signed by Jakob Dylan.

Exit Wounds is the seventh studio album by The Wallflowers, their first in nine years since the release of Glad All Over (2012). It was released by New West Records on July 9, 2021. Singer-songwriter Shelby Lynne's backing vocals are featured on four tracks.[3] "Roots and Wings" was released as the first single on April 9, 2021.[4]

Although the album was written and finished before the COVID-19 pandemic, Jakob Dylan said he said he didn't want to put it out during a time of such uncertainty and suffering.. speaking about the origins of the album he said "these songs are written before Covid, but we still had the dumpster fire of everything else that was happening before that." Dylan noted that while he does not consider it to be a political album, current events in the United States certainly had an impact on his writing. As he emphasized to Consequence of Sound, perseverance in spite of turbulent times is a major theme on the album. This theme is especially notable on the track "I'll Let You Down (But I Will Not Give You Up)", which uses a "wayward bus" as a metaphor for social upheaval in the United States, but features a hopeful chorus with Shelby Lynne singing harmony. The album was Produced by Butch Walker.
