Since we couldn’t even keep Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey (greatest show on earth) alive, never mind the “freak shows” that always gathered a huge crowd back in the day... I’m not even sure what it takes to truly entertain and wow today’s society. We have become comfortably numb... No doubt in my mind all the technology is directly responsible.
