Springsteen lyrics could fetch up to $300,000
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Bruce Springsteen's early, handwritten
manuscript to Born to Run, the rock star's 1975 hit,
is expected to fetch between $200,000 and $300,000 when it goes
up for auction in June, Sotheby's has said.
The working draft, a single page of ruled paper pulled from
a spiral notebook, is written entirely in Springsteen's hand,
the auction house said.
Most of the lyrics did not make it into the
final version of the famous song, a rock anthem in
which the singer asks his lover to break free with him from a
small US town.
The manuscript does contain a near match to the
completed chorus, however.
Born to Run was the first track on side two of the album Born
to Run, Mr Springsteen's breakout LP which sold more than six million copies in the US.

Oil price perks up again
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
The price of Brent Crude oil has picked up again after an attack on Opec by Donald Trump sent it lower.
The president's tweet that Opec was keeping prices
artificially high, and that their actions "will not be accepted", sent Brent down 0.32% to $73.33 dollars a barrel.
But now its up 0.3% on the day at just under $74.
Commenting on Mr Trump's comments, Jasper Lawler of London Capital Group said: "It won't have
escaped Trump's attention that rising gasoline prices can quickly eclipse any
financial benefits to rust belt America from his tax cuts.
"The question is whether Trump has more than bluster on Twitter to impact the
oil price."
Should Trump criticise OPEC when US oil firms gain from rising prices?

The government has responded to reports Nissan will cut hundreds of jobs at its Sunderland factory after a fall in diesel car sales.
A business department spokesperson
said: "Nissan has been clear that these
short-term operational changes are the result of anticipated lower volumes of
production ahead of the launch of new products at its Sunderland plant. The company’s
workforce are being consulted on these changes."
They said the UK automotive industry
continued to a "great success story", flagging Nissan's decision to build its new Nissan
Qashqai and X-Trail models at Sunderland.
And it said it was working with industry "to ensure that the UK is at the forefront of new automotive technologies and
remains the destination of choice for future investment”.

The London market has ended higher after a fall in the pound boosted shares in multinational companies.
The weaker the pound is, the more profits made overseas are worth when they are converted back into sterling.
The FTSE 100 ended Friday 39.25 points, or 0.54%, higher at 7,368.17.
CRH was the top performer, with shares up 4.1% after the building materials giant said it was considering a share buyback and a potential

Acting national officer Steve Bush said: "Unite
is working with Nissan to minimise job losses associated with a short-term
reduction in volumes at the car maker's Sunderland plant.
"Unite has been assured that any
job reductions will be on a voluntary basis and on enhanced terms. Over the
coming weeks we will be giving our members maximum support and ensuring that
they can make informed choices about their future.
"Going forward we expect to see
temporary workers at the plant move into permanent positions as volumes pick up
again in future years."
The pound is still struggling against the dollar after suggestions that the Bank of England will not raise interest rates in May as previously expected.
It's fallen half a per cent against the dollar to $1.4018. Earlier this week it touched post-EU referendum highs of more than $1.43.
It's doing better against the euro, however, climbing 0.17% to 1.1430 euros.
