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

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.

The guy is either very brave or very stupid.

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.
