If Tuesday was Pi day, today, March 16th, is Rollen Stewart day. Or should I say John 3:16.
If you can remember the 1980’s you can remember Rollen Stewart (a.k.a. Rocken’ Rollen). He wore outlandish outfits and carried a huge sign that said, “John 3:16”. He would position himself at televised sporting events and wave his sign to get noticed. Eventually, TV producers went out of their way to forbid the cameramen to show him. This just infuriated Rollen even more. His final act was to lock himself in a hotel room overlooking LAX and threaten to shoot planes unless he could espouse his message. The maid, who was cleaning the room, locked herself in the bathroom until SWAT took him prisoner. Stewart was offered a plea deal, but rejected it, in hopes that a public trial would give him one last opportunity to preach his end-times warnings. That worked about as well as you’d expect—he got beaten up by a pair of bailiffs for trying to preach and is currently serving out three life sentences in Mule Creek State Prison.
