SERVING THE SERVANT REMEMBERING KURT COBAIN - D...

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.
