Howard Bloom, a scientific thinker on “a quest for the dark underbelly where new myths and movements are made,” worked with Michael Jackson in 1982 and 1983 and found Jackson to be “the most astonishing human I have ever met.” Bloom wrote up his experiences in his book “Einstein, Michael Jackson & Me.” He also made a video on his key experiences with Jackson. The experiences that gave Bloom a visceral feel for Jackson’s emotional core. That video has now brought more than 70,000 viewers to Bloom’s Youtube channel.

The Michael Jackson video explains vividly and with gritty detail just why Jackson inspired admiration and awe in Bloom.
Howard Bloom—called “the greatest press agent that rock and roll has ever known” by Derek Sutton, the former manager of Styx, Ten Years After, and Jethro Tull—is a science nerd who knew nothing about popular music. But he founded the biggest PR firm in the music industry and helped build or sustain the careers of our biggest rock-and-roll legends, including Michael Jackson, Prince, Bob Marley, Bette Midler, 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 one hundred more. What was he after? He was on a hunt for the gods inside of you and me. Einstein, Michael Jackson & Me is Bloom’s story—the strange tale of a scientific expedition into the dark underbelly of science and fame where new myths and movements are made.
What’s more, Bloom’s interview with Joe Rogan about Jackson has now had close to three million views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykP12Q4NEww
