Perhaps he's in that new documentary the Times is talking about where people in New York just break into song and then the filmmaker captures people's reactions to it: Musical.; 9/29/07, 11:15 PM

Mark Daniels said...: A few years ago, a friend of mine helped finance a local filmmaker's documentary about the Naked Cowboy. It was shown at a few theaters in our area.

It would have been easy to have made a film that ridiculed him and maybe he deserves such treatment. But the portrait was gentler than that. My friend met the Naked Cowboy a few times and came away feeling that he was earnest and not, as one might expect, a nut.

The appeal of the Naked Cowboy escapes me. But Ron is right, his simple gig has turned out to be both lucrative and appealing.

Not no hustler, not no whore;
My choice of undies: BVD's;
Nicely nestled my big balls be.; 9/30/07, 6:28 AM

How does he make money? Do people stuff his shorts with bills?; 9/30/07, 2:08 PM

Mark Daniels is right, though. He was gracious down to his not so uncovered parts. We luved him for his music...; 9/30/07, 11:30 PM
