WAITING (5.31.07)
I've Been Waiting for You
     
(I’ve been looking, I’ve been looking)
(I’ve been looking, I’ve been looking)
I’ve been looking
For a woman
To save my life
Not to beg or to borrow
A woman with a feeling
Of loosing once or twice
Who knows how it could be
Be tomorrow

I’ve been waiting for you
And you’ve been coming to me
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
A woman with a feeling
Of loosing once or twice
Who knows how it could be
Be tomorrow

I’ve been waiting for you
And you’ve been coming to me
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
For such a long time now

-recorded at one time or another by David Bowie, Neil Young and The Pixies, among others.

STROLLING DOWN BROADWAY (5.30.07)

Questions:  Is the man walking trying to offset a severe vitamin D deficiency? He is holding a Whole Foods bag. Is this his normal food-shopping attire? And does Whole Foods have a liberal clothing policy that only requires shopppers to wear shoes, socks and underwear in order to come inside and squeeze the produce?

ALBEDO (5.29.07)

It's an art installation outside Jussara Lee store in NYC's Meatpacking District. It's called "Increase Your Albedo!" The shirts are supposed to symbolize clouds. In this context, albedo is referring to the reflectivity of the earth's surface. The whole thing is intended to make you think about your own contribution to global warming or something like that. Read more and decide if the installation is effective or ridiculous by going here and typing "albedo" into the "live search" function.

BREAKIN' (5.28.07)

Another one of the break dancers said the four of them were thirteen, although this guy looked to be thirteen going on twenty. Breakdancing didn't wash across the United States until the early 1980s, but Bronx gangs were having breakdancing showdowns in the 1970s, and many ultimately trace breakdancing's origins to moves inspired by James Brown and his song "Get on the Good Foot."

NAKED COWBOY (5.25.07)

The PotD usually tries to avoid tourist shots, but it's kind of hard to pass up the Naked Cowboy, a.k.a. Robert John Burck. Here's a guy whose found his niche in the world and is making the most of it. He's been singing tunes and posing with tourists on West 45th Street in the middle of Times Square since 1999. The story of how the Naked Cowboy came to be is too long for here, but you can read all about it in his own word on his website, or a shorter version on his myspace site.
