There have been tons of biographies of Bob Dylan written over the years. Dylan is a very private person who rarely does interviews. The newest biography which was released today is called Another Side of Bob Dylan. It was written by Victor Maymudes, a confidant of Dylan. Since Victor died years ago his son has written the book. I just downloaded it, but have to find the time to read it.
Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

When I Don't Listen to the Beatles or Dylan I Read About Them
Dennis Mitchell on his syndicated radio show Breakfast with the Beatles often interviews authors of Beatle books. Some months ago he interviewed Robert Rodriguez, the author of Solo in the 70s: John, Paul, George, Ringo 1970 - 1980. So much have been written about the Beatles in the 60s when they were together, but relatively little is available on their solo careers. The book piqued my interest so I bought it for my Kindle Fire. In my opinion George Harrison gained the most by the breakup of the Fab Four. I am in the middle of it now.
