Serving the servant - Danny Goldberg

In early 1991, top music manager Danny Goldberg agreed to take on
Nirvana, a critically acclaimed new band from the underground music
scene in Seattle. He had no idea that the band's leader, Kurt Cobain,
would become a pop-culture icon with a legacy arguably at the level of
John Lennon, Michael Jackson, or Elvis Presley. Danny worked with Kurt
from 1990 to 1994, the most impactful period of Kurt's life. This key
time saw the stratospheric success of Nevermind turn Nirvana into
the most successful rock band in the world and make punk and grunge
household names; Kurt met and married the brilliant but mercurial
Courtney Love and their relationship became a lightning rod for critics;
their daughter Frances Bean was born; and, finally, Kurt's public
struggles with addiction ended in a devastating suicide that would alter
the course of rock history. Throughout, Danny stood by Kurt's side as
manager, and close friend.

Drawing on Danny's own memories of
Kurt, files which previously have not been made public, and interviews
with, among others, Kurt's close family, friends and former bandmates, Serving the Servant
sheds an entirely new light on these critical years. Casting aside the
common obsession with the angst and depression that seemingly drove
Kurt, Serving the Servant is an exploration of his brilliance in
every aspect of rock and roll, his compassion, his ambition, and the
legacy he wrought - one that has lasted decades longer than his career
did. Danny Goldberg explores what it is about Kurt Cobain that still
resonates today, even with a generation who wasn't alive until after
Kurt's death. In the process, he provides a portrait of an icon unlike
any that have come before.
