Serving The Servant: Remembering Kurt Cobain - Tapa dura

"As a fan, 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 we do."--Robert Christgau, author of Is It Still Good to Ya?: Fifty Years of Rock Criticism, 1967-2017

"Insightful, passionate and cleareyed, Goldberg's account of his personal and professional relationship with Kurt Cobain is required reading. It is essentially the story of two men, a generation apart, who became unexpected friends and a contemplative requiem to losing someone you love who touched the world with a singular magic."--Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth

"People always ask, "What was Kurt really like?" That's probably not a question that any one person can answer about anybody, but anyone who knew Kurt will tell you that this book sends you vividly back to that person. Serving the Servant contributes an invaluable piece to a complicated collage."--Michael Azerrad, author of Our Band Could Be Your Life and Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana

"I couldn't put it down. As a huge Nirvana fan, it is petrifying to even attempt a description or enlightened comment about Kurt. I just want to say, any music fan should want this book. Any Nirvana fan must have this book."--Joan Jett

"Add this to the rich sonic legacy of Nirvana --Goldberg's soulful account of Cobain as a close friend, gone way too soon, yet vividly alive on every page of this remarkable book."--Cameron Crowe, writer/director of Almost Famous

"An emotionally resonant narrative of Cobain's meteoric rise to superstardom and his attendant self-questioning depression . . . a worthy addition to the growing canon of books on Cobain."--Publishers Weekly

"A deeply honest book that provides crucial insight into a brilliant life and a death that broke all of our hearts."--Ann Powers, author of Good Booty: Love and Sex, Black and White, Body and Soul in American Music

"Amid all the darkness within and surrounding Kurt Coban, Danny Goldberg, his manager and friend, always saw the light. His portrait of Cobain is loving, intimate and three-dimensional. We feel the pain of Cobain's loss anew, palpably--as we do the indelible power of the great gift of his music"--Anthony DeCurtis, Author of Lou Reed: A Life

"Precisely rendered . . . an intimate perspective on Cobain's short life."--Kirkus Reviews

"A thoughtful and oftentimes revelatory memoir . . . Goldberg was a crucial member of the band's inner circle and, thus, offers unique insights."--Booklist
