Danny Goldberg: Navigating Music, Mindfulness, and Mental Health
I'm in favor of any kind of spiritual practice that people can find that connects them to defining themselves in a broader context and not just based on money or fame, or what to eat next, or who's mad at them, or what party that you got invited to, but to see themselves as a soul, as Ram Dass used to say.
Imagine having a front-row seat to some of the most iconic moments in music history. That's the life of Danny Goldberg, a seasoned music industry veteran whose career spans from the late 1960s to today. In this episode of 'Wolf In Tune', Richard 'Wolfie' Wolf chats with Goldberg about his fascinating journey through the highs and lows of the music business.
From managing legendary bands like Nirvana and Sonic Youth to working closely with Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Goldberg's stories are both captivating and enlightening. But it’s not all rock 'n' roll tales; Goldberg opens up about the emotional struggles artists face, the role of ego in music, and the mental health challenges that come with fame. He also dives into his own spiritual journey, sharing how daily meditation and chanting have brought balance to his life.
This conversation touches on the evolution of music marketing, the power of mental concentration, and the unique benefits of blending spirituality with creativity. Whether you're a music aficionado or someone seeking mindfulness tips, this episode offers a harmonious blend of both worlds.
