Fast Company Interviews Double Rainbow Guy
Paul Vasquez, a.k.a. "Yosemitebear Mountain Giant," a.k.a. "that Double Rainbow guy," recently sat down for an interview with Fast Company about becoming an overnight viral sensation. Vasquez is about what you'd expect from the guy if you've seen the video. Except, uh, he looks like Hurley and is a former cage fighter? Which makes me think twice about making fun of him! The most striking aspect about the interview is how startlingly un-self-aware Vasquez seems to be:
"People are connecting with it because they feel the spirit in it," he says. "I feel like Noah, because I'm building what seems like an ark here. I have greenhouses, fruit-trees, and I'm working toward alternative energy. It was probably something like the burning bush that Moses experienced."Right, that's exactly why the video became so popular. Sure, dude! Check out the entire interview for more choice nuggets.
