    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 so
    much.
    His commentary is featured on Dont Look Back, but who was he? A friend, a musician, a leech......? Thanks for any help

    -Norm


    May he rest in peace...
