According to the New York Post, New York City's most famous street performer, The Naked Cowboy, was arrested in San Francisco late last week. Robert Burck, wearing his usual skin-tight undies, cowboy boots and hat was given a citation for "violating a posted sign."
The arresting officer didn't recognize the NY celebrity, stating that Mr. Burck was violating the rules in Union Square by soliciting and playing an instrument.

PS: By "soliciting" they mean having a cup out to take tips/donations for his performance, and he claims he never touched the sign.
