Roadie

This rock ‘n roll fantasy will keep you rocking and laughing with Kaki Hunter, Alice Cooper, Blondie, Roy Orbison, Hank Williams Jr., and Meat Loaf, who plays a beer truck driver who is hired as a roadie., Meat Loaf and Kaki Hunter, playing a roadie and a groupie, try every trick in the book to get to meet their idol Alice Cooper in this amusingly tacky comedy., A truck driver becomes the greatest roadie ever after following a woman he’s attracted to whose goal is to bed her favorite rock star. While he becomes great at his new job, he must consider leaving the life in order to return home for his sister’s wedding., Roadie is a showbiz saga about the working slobs who make live pop-music performances happen. Texas good ol’ boy Travis W. Redfish (pop singer Meat Loaf) drives a Shiner beer truck on his appointed rounds, but he becomes smitten with rock groupie Lola Bouillabase (Kaki Hunter), a “roadie” whose sole ambition in life is to bed her idol, Alice Cooper (playing himself). Travis’ grizzled pappy, Corpus C. Redfish (Art Carney), feels disgusted by his son’s lifestyle. After hearing that Cooper and his band are on tour, Lola sets out to catch up to them and offer her services, with Travis in pursuit. Along the way, they meet a number of pop-music stars — Blondie, Asleep at the Wheel, Hank Williams Jr., Roy Orbison, and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott — who are all working on their own tours. Travis signs on, himself, as a groupie for a rock band, and is quickly dubbed “greatest roadie of all time,” but he soon realizes that he must return to Texas for the wedding of his sister and his best friend.
