Um bom livro sobre a vida de Kurt Cobain, em meio à produção do Nirvana e situações profissionais com os selos que gerenciaram a banda, pelo ex-empresário da banda; escrito de modo simples e direto, bem divido em capítulos e declaradamente simpático a Kurt e sua esposa Courtney, requer entretanto algo não tão incomum, mas relevante: um interesse de fã. Dentre as coisas interessantes: explicita as preocupações feministas (e a luta contra a postura roqueira "macho" da época) e de luta por direitos para homossexuais do protagonista; sua defesa incondicional do papel de Courtney Love em sua vida; como Kurt tentava ativamente mediar e negociar seu desejo por autenticidade punk/roqueira e seu anseio por fama, tanto pessoalmente, quanto em relação ao seu público; o quanto ele trabalhava constantemente para aumentar a popularidade da banda; ao mesmo tempo, o quanto ele, em meio a isso, procurava alavancar bandas independentes que gostava. Também aborda os problemas estomacais constantes e disciplicência alimentar do cantor, sua luta perdida com/contra o vício em heroína, além das intrigas do meio do showbizz.

"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 that of John Lennon, Michael Jackson, or Elvis Presley. Danny worked with Kurt from 1990 to 1994--the last four years of his life, the events of which resonated around the world. He witnessed the stratospheric success of Nevermind, which turned Nirvana into the most successful rock band in the world and made 'punk' and 'grunge' household terms; Kurt's meeting and marriage to the brilliant but mercurial Courtney Love and how their relationship became a lightning rod for critics; the birth of their daughter, Frances Bean; and, finally, Kurt's public struggles with addiction, which ended in a devastating suicide that would alter the course of rock history. Throughout, Danny stood by Kurt's side as his manager and close friend. Drawing on Goldberg's own memories of Kurt, files that 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 Servants 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 examines 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 has come before."--Dust jacket. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
