The Naked Cowboy

NYC's Times Square Icon
 
Dean S. Planet: What did you do before you became the Naked Cowboy?
Naked Cowboy: Prior to Naked Cowboy I am unaware of any real living. I was not yet realized and therefore just going through the motions of existence that most people go through. Bachelors Degree in Political Science, several fitness and nutrition certifications, personal training, a ton of jobs with varying occupational back grounds, you know, just the shit of distractions while trying to discover my destiny.
Dean S. Planet: What inspired you to play guitar and sing on the streets in your underwear?
Naked Cowboy: I was following my dreams since I can at first remember. Doing what I loved most at all times. I was working out on Venice Beach in California, there while shooting for Playgirl Magazine (May 98). I decided to take my guitar, cowboy get up and play on the Boardwalk. I was ignored all day. The photographer suggested playing in my underwear to "try something different." Next day, I was on the news, made over a hundred dollars and had chicks taking their pictures with me all day. The rest is history and will continue to be for all time.
Dean S. Planet: How many times have you been on the Stern Show and how hard is it to get past KC?
Naked Cowboy: I was on with Howard two times (as Naked Cowboy), rejected successfully on E! four times (black Naked Cowboy, hillbilly Naked Cowboy, Naked Cowgirl, Naked Gorilla). I also sang to Howard at his birthday party and was a topic on his show as a "most annoying guest." (One of my most treasured accomplishments). You don't have to get past K.C., you have to be of interest to K.C.
"Prior to Naked Cowboy I am
unaware of any real living."
Dean S. Planet: How have your appearances on the show affected you and your career?
Naked Cowboy: I make my career every day by going out to the people every day. Nothing else makes my career. It will last as long as I do it and I'm not only unstoppable, but unforgettable and trademarked (both name and image). I'm probably the first man in history with a trademark on himself. (Verdict still out on the legal ramification of this).
 
Dean S. Planet: Were you in NY at the time of the attacks? If so, were you performing at the time?
Naked Cowboy: I was in New Jersey on a stair climber, preparing to go into the city for my 145th day straight, eight hours a day. I was addicted and a mad man. I saw WTC on the silent TV monitor as I climbed, not even aware enough to know that I was watching NYC! When it all became clear, I went home to Cincinnati for a week, came back and have been there since. News agencies from around the world then and still today see me as a corner point perspective on the environment of NYC from the distance at which I play from the incident. Times Square is roughly 4 1/2 miles from WTC location.
Dean S. Planet: What is your favorite city to play in?
Naked Cowboy: My favorite city to play in as of now is NYC. With many tours out of the county this summer though, I expect to have some new and exciting cities to also compete or contend with my current favorite.
Dean S. Planet: Who are your musical influences?
Naked Cowboy: I listened to Kiss when I was younger cause my brother did. My parents listened to bands such as the Eagles, Beatles, CSN and that type of music. I never bought a CD or tape in my life cept for Xmas presents and just never really got into music at all.
Dean S. Planet: What artists do you listen to today?
Naked Cowboy: I really will listen to anything, but rarely do. I don't dislike music, I'm so hyperactive and more interested in what's going round in my head that when I'm alone, I listen to that. How do you say, the miracle of existence and what I intend to do with it is far more interesting that to listen to the same old rhymes, rhythms and beats that just seem to repeat over and over again on the radio.
Dean S. Planet: Do you plan to tour in the future?
"I've been arrested 49 times..."
Naked Cowboy: I will personally travel to every last corner of the world as the Naked Cowboy as it is my destiny to be the "Most Celebrated Entertainer of All Time."
Dean S. Planet: I noticed that you write a lot on songs about a 'Mindy'. Is this your wife, daughter..?
Naked Cowboy: Mindy is my soul mate. She is my girlfriend. I do not believe in marriage, as a free man it is not in my personal constitution to be restrained.
Dean S. Planet: Have you ever been arrested or fined for what you do?
Naked Cowboy: I've been arrested 49 times as of today as the Naked Cowboy. 47 times I was released without incident. For running out on CINergy field during a Red/Mets game with a ball glove, boots, hat and underwear, I was arrested and put on probation for one year in Cincinnati which will come to an end next month. I did get ESPN several times throughout the year for these stunts. (Comisky Park, Wrigley Field, St. Louis, Cleveland).
Dean S. Planet: You have written songs about a Trans Am and your brother's ex-girlfriend. Are there any in the works about Howard Stern?
Naked Cowboy: I've got songs for everybody for every occasion, and where I don't I can come up with one quicker than anyone on the planet.
Dean S. Planet: Have you thought about publishing a book filled of your cartoons?
Naked Cowboy: I will sell and merchandise everything under the sun with Naked Cowboy logos and meaning in them. I am an artist of the truest sense. The comics, the boots, hats, underwear (skidmarks), guitars, self-portraits, books, are just the initial steps to creating a multi-billion dollar entertainment company.
Dean S. Planet: What is on the Naked Cowboy's agenda for the 2002?
Naked Cowboy: I will be performing on Times Square a great many days throughout the summer (roughly 150-200), I will be doing all of Europe, Tokyo, Brazil, and others. My movie "American Icon" is going to be shopped and purchased at film festivals around the world and you will see me as I conquer my destiny as the "Most Celebrated Entertainer of All Time!"
Dean S. Planet: Is there anything you would like to tell your fans?
Naked Cowboy: Yeah, do your thang!!! No one else will! Lose your fear in the faith that only you can be who you are intended to be!
