Several of the Carnival's are gone


Several of the Carnies that were technical advisors, Heavy Man (not Harold) &Jerry, both uncredited but advised & equipment used have passed away this year. Very few true Carnival's or Carny's on the road these days. Insurance companies are what really killed them off along with people to lazy to work for a dollar. They don't mind scamming people just don't wanna have to work for it.

The political correctness movement also killed the sideshow freaks, Jim Rose is the only one.I know of still active in a sort of old school way.
Actually kind of sad that history is being destroyed and rewritten to be PC. not just movies, books & music also. Google Louise Brogan songs. You can have a lot of fun with a rapper lover or hater. Cole Porter song anything goes said it best I think.
