Photo by myself in Times Square.
I've been hearing about this guy for the longest time. I finally saw him Tuesday, er... in the flesh.
The Naked Cowboy is something of a fixture around Times Square. Not exactly naked, he walks around in tidy whities, cowboy hat and boots, all decorated with his title.
What does a cowboy have to do with New York? Well, not much. The costume is a gimmick toward earning an honest living. During the few minutes I saw him, Mr. Cowboy did not sing or play his guitar. He spent his time happily posing for tourists.
The Naked Cowboy has his own Wiki entry, here.
