Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Circus

Here is a find for fans of things disturbing and bizarre. This is a documentary from the early 80's. In the early 80's convicted child molester Gary Glitter was bankrupt and happened to make a connection with a British circus- yes, midgets, clowns, child acrobats- to create a combined performance. The combination of a real circus with Gary Glitter's gaudy glam rock theatrics was a masterpiece of surrealism made even more surreal by the fact that we all know he's a pedophile. The rock and roll circus was a financial disaster and closed quickly. The video of it has reincarnated on YouTube and Gary Glitter resurfaced in the news because someone put up a fake Gary Glitter twitter page.
