Things I Have Saw and Did

By: Danny Andrews

?Things I Have Saw and Did??the title derived from a grammatically challenged sports officiating friend?is a compilation of some 250 stories gleaned from Danny Andrews?s diverse life experiences. He has been a journalist, including 39 years of column, news, feature and sports writing for The Plainview, Texas, Daily Herald; sports broadcaster, sports official and basketball magazine publisher; involved in a variety of community organizations; an active Christian layman; and, for the past eight years, the alumni director at his alma mater, Wayland Baptist University. The stories include his family; growing-up years in Plainview; longtime friends and chance encounters with celebrities; experiences in school and Wayland; playing, officiating, reporting on, and broadcasting sports; interesting Herald and Hearst newspaper colleagues and experiences; faith, church and mission ventures; and a collection of miscellaneous tales. Andrews says he?s been ?Thinking Out Loud? (the title of his Herald column for 28 years and his musings for the Wayland alumni magazine) since his formal journalism career began almost 50 years ago. He brings his subjects to life with vivid detail, humor and pathos, hoping to foster in readers memories of their own similar experiences, to take them vicariously to meet with presidents in the White House, confront cantankerous newspaper readers, share humorous glimpses of sports officiating and broadcasting, relate tales that prove this is a small world after all and, perhaps, encourage their own faith journey.

Recordando a Kurt Cobain

Serving the Servant

Recordando a Kurt Cobain

Serving the Servant

By: Danny Goldberg

A comienzos de 1991, el mánager musical Danny Goldberg aceptó hacerse cargo de Nirvana, uno de los muchos grupos de rock de la escena musical "underground" de Seattle. En ese momento, Danny no tenía ni idea de que el líder de la banda, Kurt Cobain, se convertiría en un icono de la cultura popular con un legado a la altura del de John Lennon o Elvis Presley. Danny trabajó con Kurt entre 1990 y 1994, los últimos cuatro años de vida del cantante. Fue testigo del éxito estratosférico de "Nevermind", que convirtió a Nirvana en la banda de rock más célebre del momento; asistió al encuentro y posterior boda de Kurt con la inestable pero brillante Courtney Love; al nacimiento de su hija, Frances Bean y, finalmente, a la lucha de Kurt contra la adicción a la heroína, que acabó en un devastador suicidio. Danny Goldberg ofrece en "Recordando a Kurt Cobain" un retrato del líder de Nirvana único e incomparable, solo al alcance de alguien que lo trató como productor, compañero y amigo íntimo. Goldberg resucita recuerdos no publicados hasta la fecha, indaga en sus archivos personales y recupera entrevistas a familiares, amigos y compañeros de banda, para explorar la inmensa creatividad y brillantez que Kurt Cobain proyectó sobre su música, la increíble mezcla de compasión, rebeldía, feminismo y ambición que reunía, y el legado que forjó con su particular visión del punk-rock.

Recordando a Kurt Cobain

By: Danny Goldberg

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Recordando a Kurt Cobain

By: Danny Goldberg

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."--Publisher's description from the orginal English language edition.
