The Naked Cowboy Interview
December 21, 2009 234 CommentsI had the privilege of sitting down with the esteemed Naked Cowboy recently for a grassroots interview…in his shiny, pimp Escalade, parked in a garage in Times Square underneath the MTV building. You see, that’s where he changes out of his street wear and into his Naked Cowboy uniform: underwear with The Naked Cowboy written across the butt, cowboy hat, boots, and nothing else. Gearing up for the interview, I had no idea what to expect, other than I’d be sitting down with a man who gets naked and performs to passersby in Times Square day after day, and that such a man must be very different than others. I set about to do my usual prep work by reading anything and everything I could to get a handle on how to approach him. And that’s when I realized I was about to interview someone much more interesting than I had expected. I had wanted to do the interview because clearly, the man is an artist – he’s not only become a master of his medium, he created his own medium. But after reading the writings on his site, I realized he possesses a lot more depth than just a one-note gimmick standing in his skivvies in the heart of the city I love. Here is a man whose self-discipline exceeds any other person’s that I’ve ever encountered. And remember, I interviewed P Diddy. Truly, his machine-like ability to train and prepare for his craft is a one in a million occurrence. Here is the only person who stands in Times Square in his underwear every day, taking verbal abuse, inclement weather, and the occasional self-doubt, turning it into more food for his drive. Here is my interview with this very unique artist, the Naked Cowboy. Watch the interview before ye judge.
