"Fun" fact: when Jeff Gordon was in his NASCAR heyday, his car had a very colorful livery and his team was called the "Rainbow Warriors." This was when his main rival was Dale Earnhardt. Back then, the traditional NASCAR fans preferred the understated black car, car company sponsor, and "tough guy" image of Dale Earnhardt. Jeff Gordon decided to play up the opposite image, doing hugely colorful liveries, shaved his mustache to look more babyfaced, and embracing the outsider vibe. During the time they overlapped, Jeff Gordon was far more successful than Dale Earnhardt, much to the consternation of traditional fans. The secret the whole time was the Dale and Jeff were not only friends, but Dale was Jeff's mentor.

Another "fun" fact: Rainbow Warrior is a term used by the Rainbow Family of Living Light, which includes everyone who attends Rainbow Gathering. Rainbow Gathering is the largest "anarchist" gathering in the United States and goes back to 1972. [1] Its influences can be traced into the Occupy movement and Burning Man. The national gathering is essentially an off-grid annual hippy gathering and celebration of peace over the 4th of July weekend. A Rainbow Warrior is someone who takes values from Rainbow Gathering and brings them out into "babylon" also called "defaultia" by burners and spreads these ideas into mainstream society. I've been to three national Rainbow Gatherings and five times to Burning Man. If you have an open mind, hippy flair and are interested in "weird" experiences you should def check out Rainbow it moves every year and this year may be near you.
