Super Joel Tornabene

 Super Joel, according to Helly Kagan's chart, was born Jan. 22, 1949 1:05 pm, Chicago.

Joey, as his sister Fran called him, was brilliant beyond what his stars and planets foresaw.

Yippie, political organizer,  a flawed but unique one-of-a-kind visionary.

The Fab Book - Berkeley Media - Super Joel Tornabene

When I read the next paragraph to Glenda she had to agree with me that it was the most boring shit that I had ever written.
"What the fuck Cove, it sounds like you're in fucking school."

The Fab Book is just that, a Book. A book albeit in various physical forms and states of media and entropy. Below is the first page. The latest digital image is a copy camera print of a photostat of a photostat of the original paste-up layout using dot screen, drawing and a reverse copy camera print of a typed text.

The Fab Book: My Life as Media

Beginning, middle and end. That's what the movie people tell me. Though in terms of media me, the end is now and the middle was Berkeley 1973 and the beginning was Milford. Again I find myself walking backwards into the future or starting in the middle and going in all directions simultaneously.
