the man gets around
Yep, still looks crazy to me.
Incidentally, here's a fun fact. My inspiration for this was the wacky sports fan who showed up at all the major sporting events back in the seventies, wearing that wig. For some reason I associate him with the Houston Astros. It just now dawned on me that this is most likely due to the tacky rainbow uniforms the Astros wore in that era.
Anyway, via The Love of Sport's 10 Most Famous Sports Fans article I learned this:
With his rainbow-colored afro wig and John 3:16 signs, Rollen Stewart stood out from the crowd at numerous nationally televised sporting events during the late ‘70s and ‘80s. Rainbow Man was spotted at the World Series, the Indy 500, the Kentucky Derby, the NBA Finals, the Olympics and even made an appearance at the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. He was even parodied by Christopher Walken in a “Saturday Night Live” skit. Stewart’s now serving three consecutive life sentences for kidnapping. I wonder how he wears his hair for the boys in the joint.
Who woulda thunk that guy wasn't right in the head?
