TAMPA - You know the Super Bowl is on the way when the Naked Cowboy shows up in town.
Robert Burck has made a career out of the Naked Cowboy persona. For the record, he's not actually naked; he wears underwear, cowboy boots and hat and just positions his guitar to give the impression he's nude.
He shows up in lots of public places, has his own Web site, a "reality show'' on YouTube and sells CDs of his music. Somewhere along the way, he became an ordained minister.
Today, Burck was wandering around downtown Tampa, strumming his guitar and shivering, though he says it's balmy compared to New York, where he's' from.
"I come here every January and stand in the same spot,'' Burck said. "It beats New York at this time of the year.''
He's making a quick trip to Ireland, but says he'll be back in Tampa in time for the Super Bowl.
