Neuwirth was Dylan's friend, big brother, road-warrior and chief harmonica tapper. He is also a singer/songwriter of note himself. "99 Monkeys" remains, in my view at least, one awesomely great album. He did stuff with the Alpha Band, appeared in "Renaldo and Clara" amongst other things. For a large chunk of Dylan's career Neuwirth was there and his influence should not be under-valued. I think he was also a painter but don't know much (ok... anything) about that.
Neuwirth wasn't really known as a songwriter at that time though he did play around the Cambridge folk scene. He was a scenester, officially Dylan's road manager, best buddy and partner in crime. For more about Neuwirth check out the
great book on the Cambridge folk scene, "Baby Let Me Follow You Down," by Jim Rooney and Eric Von Schmidt.

Does anyone have any info on who this guy is and why Dylan liked him somuch.
His commentary is featured on Dont Look Back, but who was he? A friend, a musician, a leech......? Thanks for any help
