 Update:

After the Indy 500, the ABC crew interviewed winning owner David Letterman.  In the background, there was some random guy prancing around, holding a sign reading "John 3:16".  Is it the second coming?  Who knows.

Bio:

Wouldn't it be awesome to spend your life wearing a rainbow wig, going to sporting events, and getting on television a lot?  That's how Rollen Williams, the rainbow man, spent a good portion of his life doing.

The Rainbow grew up a normal human, doing normal things.  But he felt he needed to make a name for himself.  So he started spending money exclusively on food and getting himself to multiple sporting events.  He invested in a rainbow wig to wear on his head and to grab attention with.  He carried around a little television with him to watch to see when the best moment would be to start dancing around.  

At first, Williams just did it to get attention.  But when he heard a televangelist talk about the end of the world coming, the rainbow man realized what he had to do.  He started not only going to sporting events, but he also advertised.  He advertised John 3:16.

He was quickly getting on the nerves of the television people who thought he was distracting.  They wanted to stop showing the rainbow man.  The less attention he got,  the more violent with his message he became.  He was accused of throwing stink bombs.  The Rainbow Man also did something much worse.  

Williams held a maid at a hotel hostage so he could get a live, national press conference.  He didn't get that.  Instead, the police captured him and Williams got 3 life sentences.  The Rainbow Man, the world's most recognizable fan, was now a criminal.  

 

My Take:

The Rainbow Man was a silly guy with a silly dance, who didn't always make the best decisions.  But he did do something every guy has dreamed of: spending your life going to sporting events shirtless.  He went to World Series games, Super Bowls, golf matches, and even the 1980 winter Olympic hockey matches, all while wearing a rainbow afro.  Williams himself says about his legacy, "It's a sad story, but on the other hand, it's a great story.  Maybe the best story ever."  Although he contradicts himself in that phrase, I think he's absolutely right, whatever he means.
