    Howard Bloom - Author of The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong

    THE MIKE GORMLEY SHOW -Author of The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong In 1968, Bloom turned down four fellowships in psychology and neurobiology and set off on a science project in a field he knew nothing about: popular culture. He was determined to tunnel into the forces of history by entering “the belly of the beast where new myths, new mass passions, and new mass movements are made.” Bloom used simple correlational techniques plus what he calls “tuned empathy” and “saturated intuition” to help build or sustain the careers of figures like Prince, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Billy Idol, Peter Gabriel, David Byrne, John Mellencamp, Queen, Kiss, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, Run DMC, and roughly 100 others. In the process, he generated $28 billion in revenues (more than the gross domestic product of Oman or Luxembourg) for companies like Sony, Disney, Pepsi Cola, Coca Cola, and Warner Brothers. Howard Bloom has been called “next in a lineage of seminal thinkers that includes Newton, Darwin, Einstein,[and] Freud,” by Britain’s Channel4 TV , “the next Stephen Hawking” by Gear Magazine, and “The Buckminster Fuller and Arthur C. Clarke of the new millennium” by Buckminster Fuller’s archivist.

At 16, John Badanjek, known as Johnny Bee, drummed for Motor City’s premier rock band, Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels. He delivered one of rock’s greatest drum breaks, according to Rolling Stone Magazine. After the band disbanded in 1967, ”Bee" toured and recorded with Edgar Winter, Alice Cooper, Dr. John, Bob Seger, Ronnie Montrose, Nils Lofgren, and others, providing the backbeat for some of rock's legendary tracks. In 1972, he co-founded The Rockets, showcasing his songwriting skills. He served as drummer and lead vocalist until 1976. Bee’s songs propelled the group to national prominence and consistently charted on the pop music charts (“Can’t Sleep,” “Turn Up the Radio,” “Takin’ It Back”).
