Summary

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 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 100 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.

Insightful but blowing his own horn

There were some Insightful stuff and interesting stories, but blowing his own horn a bit much,
Starting the hippie movement, the 60's etc. He uses the phrase "More on that later" a hundred times, no kidding, Still an entertaining book if you can get over it. Must applaud his dedication to music and finding the soul, The soul that went out the window in much of today's top of the list music acts.

Einstein

I just about deleted this book at the beginning as I thought it would be boring. So glad I stuck with it,as it was so good. He definitely is Einstein and of course a brilliant publicist.

A noteworthy read

An excellent book. The connections and stories are fantastic. It explains a lot of complexities of the music world.
