    About this audiobook

    During the years they spent together, few people outside of Bob Dylan's immediate family were closer than Victor Maymudes, who was Dylan's tour manager, personal friend, and traveling companion from the 1960s through the late 1990s. Another Side of Bob Dylan recounts landmark events during that time, including Dylan's infamous motorcycle crash; his meeting the Beatles on their first U.S. tour; his marriage to Sara Lownds, as well as his romances with Joan Baez and others; and memorable concerts. The book also provides insights on Dylan's songwriting process.


    On January 26, 2001, after recording more than twenty-four hours of taped memories in preparation for writing this book, Victor Maymudes suffered an aneurysm and died. His son Jacob wrote the book, using the tapes to shape the story. The result is a vivid, first-hand account of Dylan as an artist, friend, and celebrity, as told by an engaging raconteur who cut his own swathe through the turbulent counterculture.

      The singer/songwriter's fourth album (Columbia, 1964).B (Good).It's the weakest of his pre-band albums, with only a few classic songs and a couple objectively bad tracks.(Mar. 2023)
    • 3/5
      What a short strange trip this is! Jacob is the son of Victor Maymudes, long time buddy and road manager to Dylan. The book is built around a series of 9 audio tapes made by Victor over the years and found after his death by Jacob. There's also some commentary by Jacob, mostly about his father but some about Dylan, who comes off as awkward, petty, and afraid of women here. Maybe the best part of Dylan is his need to get off alone and write. After a divorce initiated by his wife, Victor basically abandons his kids in favor of joining Dylan's endless tour. He sees how miserable Dylan's marriage to Sarah became and yet his own wife is unhappy with him, in my opinion because of incessant weed smoking. I do not see any of Victor's life as a marijuana endorsement. There is a funny encounter with the Beatles involving John's remedy for farting in a car, but no one in the entire book comes off too well. I guess the closer they get, the worser they look.
