      Technically the light of the moon is the light of the sun so it could be said that it had all the light of the sun with its damage as well

      The video has nighttime footage. The moonlight towers are intentionally kept much dimmer today because the light they put off isn’t needed since there are other lights around.

      @@TexasRailfan2008 Actually there are some research incandescent lamps that are as efficient as LEDs recently at MIT.... also low pressure sodium is right up there and has the appropriate light output. Probably the main reason for dimmer running is less maintenance not so much less power use as they should be pretty efficient.

    I've heard from a few older Austin musicians people used to play music from the moontower support cables with beer bottles. It was such a loud noise it could be heard across town. I don't know if any of that is true, I can't find one source stating that, but I've heard it more than once from older musicians in Austin. It would make the Live Music Capital moniker even more meaningful if true but it could also be a myth. I've heard some
    pretty tall tales from musicians in the past that weren't true at all when I researched it, but this one seems intriguing to prove or disprove. Us musicians often love a good story and sometimes an artistic license is used to make
    a story more interesting. I have no clue of the legitimacy of the claim. But I've heard it off and on during my life. I haven't told anyone the story because I never witnessed it, but it sounds fantastic.

      No, these guys really didn't. When you fly a drone as much as CK does, you occasionally get birds in the shots. The bird actually appears more than once in the video.

      Because this guy gave the name of his brokerage in a whole lot of videos, then opened his own brokerage. No reason to keep the old company name in the videos when UA-cam gives the option to cut a few seconds out.
