The Naked Cowboy (Robert Burck), who can often be found playing guitar in his underwear in Times Square, has just thrown his (cowboy) hat into the race to be the next Mayor of New York City.
Robert Burck, aka Naked Cowboy, has been listening to the needs of native New Yorkers and tourists alike for over a decade. A hard-working, self-made entrepreneur, he’s become one of the most recognizable one-man brands in the world — all with just a pair of undies, six strings and a lot of hard work. No one’s done more with less than Naked Cowboy, and now he’s bringing this special talent to the mayoral race of New York City.
With both Reverend Billy (who announced his candidacy in March) and now The Naked Cowboy on the ticket, it’s very reminiscent of when Chicken John, Josh Wolf and several other unique candidates ran for Mayor of San Francisco in 2007.
