Rudi
There's a middle-aged black guy who wanders around Harrogate centre.

I don't know for sure that he's actually homeless but he certainly has at least a whiff of the mendicant insane about him.

His full name is actually Rudi Son of God, apparently changed by deed poll, and he habitually wears a dirty denim jacket with "Rudi Is God" picked out on the back in tatty rhinestones (Son of God, or God himself? Even his alter ego has an identity crisis).

Often he'll just sit down next to people and yabber at them fairly amiably, but it's most entertaining when he totters into town with a full microphone and amp rig, wandering up to old woman and screaming at them down the mic.

Reminds me a little of Aphex Twin's 'Come to Daddy' video.
