Ep 21 Rainbow Man: During the 1970's and 1980's, you couldn't watch a televised sports game without seeing him. The most recognizable fixture in sports actually despised everything about it. He was there for the network cameras. He was there to deliver a message to the world, a dire warning of impending doom.

The world would come to know him as Rainbow Man. by TRUE
