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.
Take that doggies. :)
Yeah - during the lead-up to the walk they showed his walk and fall. It’s was Nik’s great-grandfather. He and his mother completed the walk a few years back together where he fell.
