The Naked Cowboy

[MAYNARDSMOM]

I thought we needed a light thread after reading the money woes, which I can relate too!!! I have been down on my income lately but keep my trust in the Lord that he will provide.

Anyway in the October issue of fitness magazine there is a short story on The Naked Cowboy. (pg 16) Anyone heard of him before or actually live in NYC & seen him. Interesting. Takes alot of coconuts to walk around in your skivvies!!

NAKED COWBOY

Hi Tami,

I live in NYC and everytime I'm in the Times Square area I see him posing with tourists taking pictures. He's been doing this for years; makes a good living. I've seen him close-up and he's in pretty good shape.

I heard about him when he sued M&M because they came out with a Blue M&M that wears a cowboy hat and sings. Don't know if he won or not.

Good question someone else asked, What does he do in the winter? Do people just give him $$ in a hat? Interesting...

If you do see him I would love to have you post a picture of him.

Since I'd never heard of the Naked Cowboy, I had to do a search. I found this (he sings!, and it's not country!): http://www.myspace.com/nakedcowboysmusic

Not really 'naked' now, is he? But he looks pretty fine in the little bit he's wearing.

 

[MAYNARDSMOM]

Oh my word!!! He's even out there in the winter?!? That must do a bit of damage. I could only look a few minutes, the music was annoying!!
Only in America can you make a living in your undies!! Maybe he should run for president? LOL

He's not really naked (wears white jockey shorts); but when he holds the guitar in front of him - he appears to be naked except for the cowboy hat and boots.

Ah yes! He's pretty much a fixture now in Times Square. He's gotten a ton of publicity over the years; I think he's even incorporated, has his own website (Google "naked cowboy"). Etc etc. I think he's even done cameos in a few movies.

I go to New York often for work or to see family, I've seen him a few times, cavorting happily for the tourists in his skivvies!

Actually, in New York it takes a lot of coconuts to walk around in your skivvies and get people to actually notice.
