The Naked Cowboy

We New Yorkers have a lot to be proud of. The Naked Cowboy is one of them. I don't know where I've been, but today is the first time I've heard of him. Even Jon, "Mr. Conservative", knows all about the Times Square cowboy, and my daughter, Teri, saw him in Key West. I think I've been shoveling too much horse pucky.

This guy's name is Robert John Burck, a street performer in Time Square, wearing only cowboy boots, a hat, and briefs, with a strategically placed guitar which gives the illusion of nudity. He does this in the winter too! Br-r-r-r!

He's cute, but I think his behavior is a tad strange even for NYC. Jon says, "You can think he's weird if you want to, but I guarantee, he's laughing all the way to the bank! I may decide to do this in Rochester." "Oh brother!", I said, "You don't know how to play the guitar."

Just a quick aside, in 2012, Mr. Burck is running for President of the United States under the Tea Party movement. I can see it all now...President, Naked Cowboy and Vice President, Manhattan Madam.  Their tag line could be: We plan on exposing our government for what it really is and keeping you abreast of our latest strategies.
