About this listen
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.©2018 Danny Goldberg (P)2018 Random House Audiobooks

Interesting listen from Nirvana's manager
Enjoyed this book from Nirvana's manager, which mainly covers the years when the band made it big and gives an insight into Kurt's personality.

Great insight. This is not a cash in as I had feared.
Thoroughly enjoyed every word. A new angle from someone who knew him and analyses the industry and period around kurts arrival into the mainstream. Also confirmed all I hoped I thought I knew about Kurt-the man who changed my life.
Enjoy!
Thanks Danny Goldberg

One of the best books on Kurt Cobain. Sincere
This is an inside view on the career and personal tribulations of Cobain. No sensationalism, just a factual and heartfelt account.

An excellent audiobook
I’m a big Nirvana and Kurt fan and I absolutely loved this. There were so many facets to Kurt I never knew before, the vast majority really positive. It covers such much behind the scenes material I have to give this 5 stars. Great narration as well.

Excellent...
I've been a Kurt Cobain fan since I first discovered Nirvana at the ripe age of 11. It's impossible for me to really put into words how much Kurt means to me. His music and artistry has always spoken to me in a way that no other artist has ever come close to rivaling, and I find that he was just as inspirational a person, in spite of his demons. His intellect, humour, and empathy have always appealed to me as much as his music. Danny does a wonderful job of detailing his intimate relationship with Kurt and I found this to be one of the most enjoyable, insightful pieces on him I've ever encountered. I'm from Cork, Ireland so to hear mention of the Nirvana gig they played here in support of Sonic Youth prior to Nevermind's release was a trip, and although I was too young to attend that at the time, I did get to visit the exhibition on Kurt hosted in Newbridge last year which was wonderful. Small things like this are something I really cherish as someone who was never fortunate enough to get to see Nirvana play live or get to meet Kurt. Thank you Danny for helping me and many other fans I'm sure feel that bit closer to Kurt. He was a creative genius, but he was also one of us, and we'll always love him for it. Highly recommend this to any and every Nirvana fan, or anyone in general really, especially if you're interested in music.

a lovingly written memoir about Kurt Cobain
Danny was one of the people who was closest to Kurt - and you can really tell how much he loved him. Reading this book was like having a glimpse into the world of a family who, even though they had normal disagreements and dramas they were really fond of each other. Danny treats Kurt's death with a respect and compassion which is sometimes not found in other books about Kurt. His death was my generations equivalent of JFK's, I can still vividly recall exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard he'd died. The only reason I didn't give it five was that, at times it seemed very long, with passages describing things which weren't of interest to me. But it's very sensitively written and will appeal to fans - or people who have recently discovered Nirvana.

Great listen for fans
Offers a unique insight into Kurt Cobain from a perspective I feel we dont often get in regards to his “story”.
Great narration from the writer himself.

Simply fantastic
I think the only way a book about kurt cobain can be better is if it was written by his sister or by krist and dave. Absolutely fantastic
