Entertainer/The "Naked Cowboy"

This is the corner that he stands on. There he is! Go get him! ♪♪Well tell me why you're standing there looking at me. ♪Like you've never seen a man half-naked ♪strummin' wild and free. ♪Well if you don't stop looking at me, ♪I'm gonna bend your ass over my knee. ♪You're gonna bitch, scream, holler and swear. ♪ As you get your ass kicked by a man in his underwear. ♪♪ We're going across the nation interviewing people, trying to see like how they started up, what their life path is and how they got to where they are now. A better question for you is, how did you become the Naked Cowboy? I mean did you just one day, you were like, 'Yeah I'm just gonna go and sing in the middle of Times Square.' Basically I wrote out physical, financial, social, emotional goals, like 16 years ago. At that point I had basically accumulated a track record of being a complete jackass. I'd been in like juvenile delinquency, barely getting out of high school, trouble making, beer drinking, you know it was all the kind of shit an adolescent would do with no kind of guidance whatsoever. And so I was on that wavelength. I read a book called Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins and in that book he makes it clear that you are basically creating your own life, you know teaching you to be aware of your own actions, what's going on in your life and what's creating your life. I got turned on to, you know doing what, the idea that I could be anything I wanted to be. So the cowboy thing, like, why a cowboy? The biggest, coolest most extravagant thing that I could think of, from where I came from was to be a movie star. So when I was out there, in Venice Beach, California shooting for Playgirl magazine, I basically, because I had a low voice I assumed that I was more of a country singer so I went with the cowboy motif. And from that I went out on the beach and played guitar in my clothes and everything. I was completely ignored. The photographer suggested playing in my underwear, played in my underwear the next day, made the news and made over a hundred dollars, had girls taking my picture all day and the photographer said, 'Look, my little naked cowboy.' And I did that for two years from Cincinatti to Key West to California back. I was going on like 40 to 45 day trips at 12 hours a day to city, city, city. Somebody suggested going east so I went east, came to New York City, I happened to go through New York City and they said, 'Oh you're a genius for coming to New York City.' It was the last place I freakin' went. And when I got there the number of people taking pictures, shooting me film, TRL, Howard Stern, all these different shows that approached me right off the bat. I went from, you know, doing this for two years to being here and just boom boom boom. And now we're eight years into what I call the New York City objective which is basically I am in New York City every single day dominating, you know what I mean? I'm embedded in the commercial landscape in the entire world, in every nook and cranny. At what point did you say, 'Who cares what other people think?' I started that the day I was born. Where did this come from? From the very time I was a kid, again that's why I was in so much trouble because I didn't listen to anybody. And the only things that catch my fancy tend to be stupid jackass things. But I took everything I did to absolutely extreme. Have you had any doubts? Doubts? If I have a doubt I realize it's a doubt and I'm like, there's no point in it. [Everyone laughing] So you're saying as you're going around you're getting arrested and all this stuff and as you're a younger kid you didn't have any doubts going, 'What the hell am I doing with my life?' Man I didn't have any problem with being all the things I was. I don't need to question it, I don't need to ask about it. I go with what I am. It's like some people would go to a shrink and try to figure out what to do about it. Instead of trying to cute it, stop, end it, be what you are and find a way to use your personal little jewel who you are, in a positive way. And you can't do anything wrong. Whatever you really want to do, take away all the guilt, shame and the feeling that anybody else matters what you think of what you say, what you do. In other words, give yourself the complete freedom to do whatever the hell you want and you won't have any question. Why would you sit here and say, 'I don't know if I want to do this and I don't know if I want to do that,' unless you thought that somehow you had to consider something other than what you want to do. You know so you say, 'What do you want, what should I do?' What do you want to do? Who cares what I think? What do you want to do? I didn't call you this morning and say if it was alright to go out in my underwear. You know? I just think that if you know all things are as they should be, it takes all the pressure off you and you can pretty much just kind of just let yourself go man. ♪♪Im the naked cowboy keeping it real for you baby. ♪I'm the naked cowboy, you gotta do what you gotta do.♪♪ That was your turn! It coulda been.
