Along with Police Commissioner Bratton, the Naked Cowboy has been among the loudest critics of the growing army of women who troll Times Square with only star-spangled body paint covering their breasts in search of tourists’ tips in return for allowing themselves to be photographed. Actually, the Naked Cowboy shows about as much flesh as they do. Perhaps feeling Times Square was reverting too much to its former “fleshpot” days — i.e., too much competition for him — the tighty-whities-wearing cowpoke was recently spotted in Washington Square Park with a sidekick. It seems there is a TV pilot series in the works about street performers and the guy shown with the Naked Cowboy is the host, who tries his hand at the various types of busking, in this case, stripping down and strumming.
