You'd think San Francisco would be a very open minded city?????
Guess they draw the line somewhere.
San Fran has arrested the somewhat well known New York' Naked Cowboy.
Yes, he sings on the streets with a guitar and in nothing but his whitey tidies.
What a better place than San Francisco for him to perform at!
Unfortunately for the cowboy, Robert Burck, he got arrested while singing on Friday.
Burck was in his usual costume of underpants, cowboy boots and a hat.
He was arrested outside of Frisco's Union Square for performing his act in a restricted area.
The officers say he violated the rules posted in Union Square against soliciting. Burck and the cop argued before he was finally arrested.
He was cited for "violating a posted sign" and will need to go to court this week.
As for the cops, Burck says, "It was nonstop. They're laughing hysterically because there's this guy in his underwear. Then they were like, 'Oh, that's the Naked Cowboy.' "
Oh, well. He should have read the signs.
We're sure the boys in the Castro would have welcomed him with open arms!

Re: BFD – Couldn't agree more!!!!
WHITE TRASH!!!!!
thank god! i hate this guy!
I live in the Bay Area…San Francisco already has enough nut cases. It isn't entertaining when they're on every corner, even for your boys in the Castro and on Polk St. Oh and by the way, mayor Newsome finally figured out that his city had that ridiculous policy as a sanctuary and repealed it. About time.
"He was arrested outside of Frisco's Union Square" - WRONG. Burck was arrested directly on the Square (at Powell and Geary) - at one of the busiest intersections in The City. The arresting officers of SFPD gave him several opportunities to avoid arrest, but he was combative and flippant.
Frisco? San Fran? Only an uniformed tourist would refer to San Francisco in those terms.
HAHA. I was shopping in downtown SF yesterday and I saw him singing on the corner near H&M! :]
What a hoot! He was in Cincinnati, OH for YEARS before he moved to NYC (ala Cake video). Cincinnati is an ULTRA conservative city, and he never got in trouble. He even hopped on top of the Reds dugout once and played…and didn't get in trouble. Maybe he was trying to get arrested for publicity?
okay dude, its not frisco. its San Francisco! two words. you should know that.
Just FYI, Perez - no one calls it Frisco… that is something from a 1940s B-movie.
I'd like to get a good whiff of those hot funky sweaty pits - mmmmmm.
Doode, nobody calls it "Frisco" except the bridge and tunnel people. SF is OK, San Fran is not. "Frisco" never is.

Uhhhhhh - that's "tighty whities", not "whitey tidies".
Yes, it's already been said, but it's worth repeating: We say San Francisco or "The City" - NEVER San Fran and NEVER EVER Frisco.
Back in the day if a guy walked around in his undies, they'd put him backwards on a horse and slap its rear end and giddyup him outta town. Seriously, though, a dude who runs around in his skivvies in public has…well…more issues than just being cold, IMHO.
It aint FRISCO jerk-ass, it's San Francisco
naked means NO CLOTHES ON, and since this man always wears underwear HE IS NOT NAKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'Frisco' is a drink, San Francisco is the city. Only tourists say Frisco. Locals, or at least THIS local, hate hearing Frisco. …just a helpful hint.
hahaha! tiny package. why's he showing it off?!
FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO FRISCO
Good for the COPS!
I don't want to see a Man half naked unless I choose to!
Um, its whitie TITIE not Tidie, you fat idiot
They're called TIGHTY WHITIES. Duh, Perez.
FRISCO? Only to people who don't live here. Need an abreviation? SF will do just fine. Union Square is a very uptight, restricted access part of the city. Hardly represents the whole town. I never venture into the Union sq. area if I don't have to, & I usually don't. (It's were all the tourists seem to wind up- in their ugly Crocs, & "Alcatraz swim team" sweatshirts. Nothing cool happens there.
Re: Bob – do you enjoy being a moron?

Nice way to demonstrate your ignorance, & inability to learn something new
ewww damn! cover up,
but i gatta say pretty SEXYY!
Perez! I was living in San Francisco for a month and for the short time I was there…even I knew that "San Fran" and "Frisco" were like hearing nails on a chalkboard to San Franciscans!
DON'T CALL IT "FRISCO" AGH!!!!!!!
