Serving The Servant: Remembering Kurt Cobain

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.
