Insightful, passionate and clear, Danny Goldberg's account of his personal and professional relationship with Kurt Cobain is required reading for, not only Nirvana enthusiasts, but anyone interested in how the corporate music industry engaged with the punk rock underground of the early 1990s...It is a contemplative requiem to losing someone you love who immeasurably touched the entire planet with a singular magic. - THURSTON MOORE, SONIC YOUTHAs a fan and onetime rock journalist, Danny Goldberg treasures Kurt Cobain as an artist. As Nirvana's manager, he witnessed the ambition and empathy that drove Cobain toward stardom. As an activist, he admires Cobain's courageously explicit politics. As Cobain's shrewd advisor and fond friend, he misses him even more acutely than the rest of us. - ROBERT CHRISTGAU, author of Is It Still Good to Ya?As soon as I started reading , I got sucked in, and I couldn't put it down... any music fan should want this book. Any Nirvana fan "must" have this book. - JOAN JETTServing The Servant is a clear, straightforward look into a gifted artist's struggle to balance integrity with ambition. Danny Goldberg shows us how Cobain dealt with sudden, massive acclaim while continuing to hone his unique creative vision.
