Sooner or later this idiot is going to push his luck too far.
I saw it! It seemed like forever watching him walk so slowly and carefully and I kept thinking what discipline and skill it took to do that!
Little known, but terrific song from the 1970s, by Duke Jupiter: “Poppy”:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bXjOJ15kug
This song is primarily based on the tragic 1978 death of Karl Wallenda, matriarch of “The Great Wallendas” aerial high wire act. The Wallenda act was noted for not using safety nets. On March 22, 1978, at age 73, Wallenda attempted a walk on a high wire between the two towers of the ten-story Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The wire was 121 ft (37 meters) above the pavement. Wallenda fell to his death when winds exceeded 30 mph (48 kilometers per hour). He was known as “Poppy” to his multi-generational family of daredevil high wire performers who were present.
OK. So what, and why is this important? To me it is worthless, but then again I should not judge. Freedom is allowing everyone to “pursue his happiness.” Shut my mouth.
Misleading claim on 'Grand Canyon' tightrope feat
Note in the link headline it backs off a bit but has Grand Canyon in quotes!
I can't tell you how livid I am about this!
