Howie Green's "Ruphus the Boston Moosic Cow" was an official entry in the 2006 Cow Parade Boston. The cow introduced on May 18 at the official Cows Parade kickoff party in City Square Park, Charlestown, MA and then moved to the front entrance of the Courtyard Marriott Hotel on Tremont Street where it was on display for the remainder of the Parade. Rufus (Ruphus) sold in the live auction on Sept. 22 at the Boston Marriott Hotel and now resides in a private collection. If anyone knows where it ended up we would appreciate you letting us know. There was a lot of confusion at the end of the auction and we lost track of who purchased Rufus.
at the Opening Event on May 18, 2006.
8/4/06: Film maker Joseph McLauchlan filmed Howie for a segement for Current TV with Rufus on location in downtown Boston.
4/20/06: Extending Howie's ongoing series of album cover paintings in a new and unusual direction Rufus contains over 30 album covers by Boston-based bands starting back in the late 1960s with The Lost and Teddy and the Pandas and through to the current scene with the Dresden Dolls and Apollo Sunshine. See the list of bands below and our apologies to anyone we missed. We consulted with several Boston pop music historians and based our selection on various criteria including mostly that the bands had to have actually produced an album. We had to limit our selection to bands and not individual performers. On the tail in gold embossed paint Howie wrote "In tribute to all the musicians over the years who made Boston such a diverse musical scene".
