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!
