Rollen Stewart

Rollen Fredrick Stewart (born February 23, 1944), also known as Rock'n Rollen and Rainbow Man, is a man who was a fixture in American sports culture best known for wearing a rainbow-colored afro-style wig and, later, holding up signs reading "John 3:16" at stadium sporting events around the United States and overseas in the 1970s and 1980s.

Publicity

Stewart became a born-again Christian, and was determined to "get the message out" via television. His first major appearance was at the 1977 NBA Finals; by the time of the 1979 MLB All-Star Game, broadcasters actively tried to avoid showing him. He "appeared behind NFL goal posts, near Olympic medal stands, and even at the Augusta National Golf Club." At the 1982 Indianapolis 500, he was behind the pits of race winner Gordon Johncock. Stewart would strategically position himself for key shots of plays or athletes. Stewart's fame led to a Budweiser beer commercial and a Saturday Night Live parody sketch, where he was portrayed by Christopher Walken.

Rainbow Man

Rainbow Man is the debut album of American country music artist Jeff Bates. It was released in 2003 (see 2003 in country music) on RCA Nashville. The album includes eleven songs, all co-written by Bates, of which three were singles: "The Love Song", the title track, and "I Wanna Make You Cry". Respectively, these peaked at numbers 8, 47, and 23 on the Billboard country charts. "Long, Slow Kisses" was re-recorded for his next album, Leave the Light On, from which it was released as the lead-off single.

The album was produced by Kenny Beard and David Malloy, with additional production from Scott Hendricks on tracks 1, 4, and 6.

    Rainbow Man

    by: Declan Galbraith

    Like a soldier on parade, walking green and unafraid,
    Met a painter been my friend for years.
    He was gazing out to see, mixing moonlight with a twist of tears.
    Told me tales of faith and hope, have you seen the Antelope,
    Ever running in those Spanish caves?
    Lovers passed us hand-in-hand,
    Time to go now said the Rainbow man.
    Pre-Chorus
    Tonight there are so many stars; I can’t count them all,
    I’m waiting to catch one should it fall.
    Chorus
    Round and round,
    Say I will know I can,
    Rainbow Man I believe in you,
    Tumble down love, come what may,
    If it’s blue skies, grey days,
    You’ll always be there.
    Saw a poet in a glade, tearing up the words he made
    Said it’s pointless no one understands,
    Got a note I’ve built a boat and gone sailing with the Rainbow man.
    Pre Chorus
    Tonight there are so many stars; I can’t count them all,
    I’m waiting to catch one should it fall.
    Chorus
    Rainbow Man,
    Say I will know I can,
    Rainbow Man I believe in you,
    Tumble down love, come what may,
    If it’s blue skies, grey days,
    You’ll always be there.
    Round and round,
    Say I will know I can,
