If Your Heroes Have Always Been Naked Cowboys, Then Read This Blog Post…
Dateline: Greenhills, Ohio, where hometown boy Robert Burck, a.k.a. The Naked Cowboy, who is famous for performing guitar songs in naught by a pair of tighty-whities (you may have seen him in New Yawk City's Times Square) and a cowboy hat, is scheduled to appear at an outdoor festival.
The Naked Cowboy['s]…scheduled performance Friday…has sparked more resentment than he expected, setting off a digital war between his booking agent, Todd Rubenstein, and Greenhills mayoral candidate Pat Andwan.
Andwan sent an e-mail to community leaders urging them to protest the Naked Cowboy's performance at the festival, calling his behavior "deviant" and tighty-whities "indecent."…
Andwan said the Naked Cowboy is welcome to perform at bowling alleys and local saloons but she finds the festival an inappropriate setting for a man who wears nothing but underwear.
"It just shows what some parts of society have stooped down to," she said. "I just think it is totally insensitive and an insult to the families in the community. There should be some dialogue about what's appropriate and what's not."
