Brock, author of Better than the Beatles, a memoir of growing up in Lake County, was born in the Lake County Hospital when it was a little rock building across from the Catholic Church. He grew up and received his public schooling in the Lake County School District achieving a G.P.A. of somewhere around 2.0. In spite of being advised by his High School Counselor to attend a trade school, the author told the counselor to shove it, and attended Southern Oregon College (not University) as a music major.

The author later spent two years in Houston, Texas and learned to speak the Southern language. After mastering “Southern”, he attended college again and got a haircut. After college he traveled to the San Francisco Bay Area where he grew his hair out once again and met a California Blonde girl. They married and have six children who all play music better than, and write the English language better than, their father.
