Just a couple of shots of the Naked Cowboy who is a daily fixture in Times Square.
He told me that he hadnt missed a day in the last 4 years, he knew the exact number of days. He also mentioned that he pulls in a minimum of $160/hr. and that at times he made $600 an hour.
Funny thing is , he has sponsors. Calvin Klien (undies), and others pay for advertising space on his guitar. Thought you would all enjoy.

    It might just shrink, I would think he would be embarrassed. Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.

    That is a cool way to earn a living, at least right now at this time of year.

    Andy, why have you not shown us a picture of this NYC treasure?

    Thanks, Lynn, made my day. clap.gif

    He does that all the way through the winter? Also, I can't believe a guy who is essentially a panhandler (no judgment being made) can pull-in that kind of dough. A little hard to believe. headscratch.gif

    Not a panhandler
    He is far from that, he is an icon. I dont know him and certainly arent getting defensive but I dont think panhandler is a good characterization.
    Check out his website he has a pretty large following. lbg

    Ok, I believe you! I simply couldn't read his entire biography. I will say that the man has a, um... great deal of energy!
