Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the universe says, “oh yeah, what about this?”

I for one am so happy to now know I live in a world where industrial musicals are a thing. How have I never heard of these before? If this is new to you too, I cannot recommend this documentary enough. It is one part nostalgia (Letterman!) and one part sweet tribute. It reminded my husband a little of Ry Cooder bringing the aged far flung Cuban musicians together in “The Buena Vista Social Club”… just more mid-western.

My favorite documentaries are always the ones that are not the movie you sat down to watch, but something much more.

Bathtubs Over Broadway is available for streaming on Amazon Prime.

 This is Donkey Hoti, Roscoe’s longtime companion. 

Donkey Hoti was not just another well-loved, matted soul in a long line of Roscoe’s sad babies loves. He looooved her the most. He was somewhat of a serial monogamist.

First there was Polly Polka Pants. His first love.

She turned her back on him.

He soon hopped into a whirlwind romance with this little bunny.
For the record… I am not claiming to know the sexual preference of my dog, or the stuffies… it’s just a story people.

She knew she was just a rebound romance, but just couldn’t walk away.

This next gal was just plain mean.

and who could forget sweet sleepy Ellie?

Apparently Roscoe, once he met this little chicken.

Roscoe passed away in 2015. Everyone who knew him realized he was a comic genius.
