The 'Mysterious Genius' of Kurt Cobain

from Quicktake by Bloomberg · host Bloomberg

It's been 25 years since the death of Kurt Cobain, the Nirvana frontman who heralded rock's grunge era of the early 1990s. The iconic musician tapped into a collective state of mind through earnest songwriting that challenged the angst and alienation of his time. Now, 25 years later, his impact on music remains as important as ever. Andrew Mach speaks to Danny Goldberg, Nirvana's co-manager from 1990 to 1994 and author of "Serving the Servant: Remembering Kurt Cobain," who says that while Cobain hated being called the voice of a generation, his legacy is ultimately exactly that. ---- TicToc is a daily news podcast hosted by Andrew Mach (@andrewjmach), produced at Bloomberg Worldwide HQ in New York City.
