    • In early 1991, music manager Danny Goldberg took on Nirvana, an emerging band from Seattle, unaware that its leader, Kurt Cobain, would become a pop-culture icon akin to John Lennon or Elvis Presley. Danny worked closely with Kurt from 1990 to 1994, a pivotal period marked by the explosive success of "Nevermind," which catapulted Nirvana to global fame and popularized punk and grunge music. During this time, Kurt married the enigmatic Courtney Love, whose relationship with him drew significant media attention. Their daughter, Frances Bean, was born, and Kurt's struggles with addiction culminated in a tragic suicide that profoundly impacted rock history. Throughout these tumultuous years, Danny remained a steadfast manager and friend. Drawing from personal memories, unpublished files, and interviews with Kurt's family, friends, and bandmates, the narrative offers a fresh perspective on this critical era. Rather than focusing solely on Kurt's struggles, it highlights his remarkable talent, compassion, and ambition, showcasing a legacy that continues to resonate today, even with those born after his death. Danny Goldberg presents an unparalleled portrait of an enduring icon, illuminating the aspects of Kurt Cobain that still captivate audiences.

      Six weeks after 9/11, the USA Patriot Act was rushed through Congress. This 300-page bill gave sweeping new powers to the FBI, CIA, and Immigration and Naturalization Service, permitting them to wiretap telephone conversations, read E-mails, and arrest, detain, and deport suspicious individuals. It's a Free Country examines the frightening consequences of the Patriot Act. Voices from across the political spectrum are represented, from civil libertarians of the left-Ira Glasser, Howard Zinn, Tom Hayden, and Michael Moore-to conservative critics of overreaching government, including former U.S. Representative Bob Barr of Georgia and Republican activist Paul Weyrich. Also included are original works by Steve Earle, Ani DiFranco, and Matt Groening. As Cornel West writes in his foreword: "The best way to pay homage to those innocent fellow human beings who were viciously killed on September 11, 2001 ... is to insure that their loved ones-as well as ourselves-live in an American democracy forever vigilant in its quest for freedom, and forever vigorous in its efforts to secure our precious liberties alongside our safety." A thoughtful and timely anthology, this edition has been completely updated.
