Naked Cowboy sighting
« on: May 16, 2020, 04:40:15 PM »
Today while I was on a return leg of long walk to Steinway Street along 34th Avenue I saw The Naked Cowboy who was standing on the corner of I think 72nd and 34th. He was in his regular jockey shorts with Naked Cowboy on his rear, white guitar, and  multiple Trump 2020 signs on his front. He was chatting affably with a couple and I thought I heard him say he would be back next week. So was this some kind of performance art, a paid political event or simply the Cowboy defying the odds of finding Trump voters in this the bluest of blue strongholds of anti-Trump feeling. Does anyone know?

 Oh yes! He was here on that corner and we took a photo from the car but unfortunately some one stepped in front of him at the wrong moment so you can only see a slice of him from the side. It was a sight right there on 34th Ave.

Nope, it wasn’t me. But justice this will prevail. Maybe that was the point he was trying to make?

Sounds like his usual busking. His usual haunt is empty. Why not come here?

I have been told by several people The Naked Cowboy stops into the Legends several times a year.  Maybe he has family or friends who live in JH.

i guess "no shirt, no pants, no service" doesn't apply!

judging from some of the remarks i've heard out of the mouths of Legends customers, i'm sure a trump supporter would easily find a home at a booth or at the bar there.

There’s plenty of online info stating that the Naked Cowboy resides in Woodside, Queens. Someone I know also spotted him on 34th Ave yesterday. She says he lives in Jackson Heights, so maybe he lives somewhere on the borderline of the two neighborhoods.  ???
