The Naked Cowboy is running for Mayor, so the NY Post is taking this time to delve deeper into the Times Square busker's life (whose first turn in the spotlight was posing as a prostitute on the Jerry Springer Show). There's just so much going on Behind the Underwear!
First off, he lives in a townhouse in Secaucus, New Jersey with his girlfriend and her kids, but will have to move to NYC if he's serious about this whole running the city thing. He spends his off hours just like the rest of us, recording the details of his life in a journal, using a form of shorthand he created, and reciting affirmations to himself like: "I have the No. 1 reality show in the world!!!"
He also claims to read a lot of Nietzsche (if you see him in the Square please feel free to quiz him on this), and swears he can wax philosophical and theological with the best of 'em. And since tossing his Stetson in the Mayoral race ring, the Thomas Aquinas of Times Square has been beefing up his worldly knowledge by watching Fox News and reading Bill O'Reilly's Culture Warrior. Oh and his to-do list also includes being bigger than the Pope and 1980s era Michael Jackson.
There's more! The Cowboy seems to have a touch of OCD, he spot-cleans the white walls in his house with a little paintbrush, and even cleans gas station bathrooms when he walks into a dirty one. He told the paper, "If you have an environment that looks chaotic and s- - -, it changes who you are." Wonder if those broken down lawn chairs in Times Square are messing with his Feng Shui.

Douche bag.
If you feel the need to "quiz somebody" about Nietzsche, you're an asshole.
If you quote Nietzsche in every conversation, as Mr. Cowboy is said to, you're an asshole.
I hope that the one thing to come out of this just reaffirms what we already know
He probably wouldn't do any worse than the vast majority of politicians in this country.
He lives in Secaucus but wants to be the Mayor of NY? I think he's playing that guitar with a few loose strings.
Good one.
Hahaha! The only thing he can wax is his chest!!
So in essence, he's your typical 20's something do-nothing artist?
He actually makes money, so no.
what is this fascination with this unemployed bum?
While I'm not a fan of his, I have to point out that he is not unemployed. He is, in fact, self-employed and seemingly enjoying a pretty substantial income at that. And, might I add, he is a genius at self-promotion and marketing. All of the negative posts would seem to me to be jealousy - what is wrong with someone is obviously happy, makes other people happy, doesn't hurt anybody and makes good money while doing it?
Please please please stop all the posts about this idiot tourist magnet.
PLEASE
