About the Author

Victor Maymudes was a pivotal figure in the music world, serving as Bob Dylan's road manager for over two decades, from the early 1960s through the turbulent years of Dylan's rise to fame. Born in 1918 in New York City, Maymudes brought a no-nonsense approach to the chaos of touring life, fostering a deep, brotherly bond with Dylan that spanned creative highs and personal lows. His insider perspective offers a rare glimpse into the human side of one of rock's greatest icons. In his memoir 'Another Side of Bob Dylan: A Personal History on the Road and off the Tracks,' co-authored with Dylan scholar Jeffrey G. Mausner, Maymudes recounts untold stories of late-night drives, backstage antics, and the relentless pursuit of artistic freedom, blending humor, insight, and unfiltered honesty to paint a vivid portrait of an era-defining partnership.
