Einstein, Michael Jackson & Me is the strange tale of a scientific expedition into the dark underbelly where new myths and movements are made. Howard Bloom, a scientific thinker, knew nothing about popular music. But he founded the biggest PR firm in the music industry and helped build the careers of Michael Jackson, Prince, Bob Marley, Bette Middler, Billy Joel, Billy Idol, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, David Byrne, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Queen, Kiss, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Run DMC, ZZ Top, Joan Jett, Chaka Khan and 100 more. What was he after? He was on a hunt for the gods inside of you and me.

“It is amazing. The writing is revelatory. Isn’t the out of body experience man’s search for enlightenment? Call me Howard, I’d like to have a seven hour conversation with you.”

Freddy DeMann, Manager of Madonna, Michael Jackson, and producer of twenty-two award-winning Broadway plays
