Search for sky wire and you can watch it live. He even has a camera on his chest, looking down.

It's all photoshop these days.
Signatures have a 255 character limit that I could abuse, but I am not Cecil B. DeMille.

I dunno about Kaiser, but Ry Cooder definitely was. He even "re-used" a tune when he did the Little Village album: "Don't Think About Her When You're Tryin' To Drive" was the LV title. Have to get back to you on the Beefheart version.JazzGuitarGimp wrote:Wasn't Henry Kaiser in Captain Beefheart?LeftyStrat wrote:Sounds like a Captain Beefheart song.Reeltarded wrote:Hobo nickle inflation.

I was channel surfing and happened upon it about 14 minutes into his crossing. I watched for about 20 seconds and had to switch channels. There is no justification in my mind for anyone taking that risk (no net and no tether). No way did I want to see if there was an accident. No way.
