Yes, The Lone Ranger was born in Detroit on January 30th in 1933. The birth was broadcast live on radio.
- He was born in a hospital like everyone else. The doctor wore a mask. The nurse wore a mask. Who could blame the kid -- he wouldn't stop crying 'till they gave him a mask!
- His mother was in lalaland. She saw the mask and thought she'd had a raccoon.
- It was exciting. His dad was there, Silver was there. A symphony orchestra was there playing "The William Tell Overture."
- Everybody was there except Tonto. Just in case there was trouble at the hospital, they told Tonto to wait in a clearing outside of town and boil some water.
