If the current trend holds, the number of books written about Nirvana—and especially Kurt Cobain—will eventually match those about Bob Dylan. The latest is by Danny Goldberg, who managed Nirvana from 1991 to 1994, when they rocketed from Sub Pop–backed grunge-rock hopefuls to global superstars. Having that access to Cobain, to whom he became a close friend, should lend Serving the Servant a trove of insights and anecdotes that may have eluded other chroniclers of the pain-racked voice of a generation. Word is, the book focuses on the positive aspects of Cobain’s life. That this event is happening at the Neptune indicates how strongly people still feel about Nirvana’s small but influential canon. by Dave Segal
