Johnny Bock was born near the geographical center of the US but he has no recollection of the event, nor does he want to. As far as schools attended and academic achievements, there is little to report, although he attended many lectures, mostly one-on-one, with the topic being mostly about his behavior. His work experience too was minimal, even though he had many different jobs, preferring the ones that required neither muscle nor brains. Somewhere in between all of that, he rolled over many different parts of Sweet Mother Earth in an old Volkswagen Microbus and from there made little black squiggles on white pieces of paper and called them books. Cheers!
