Roadie By Sean Axmaker
One the strangest musical curiosities of the Awesome80s, Roadie
stars Meat Loaf as a good ol' Texas boy who turns himself into the world's
greatest roadie to win the heart of a teen-age groupie (Kaki Hunter). She,
however, is obsessed with Alice Cooper, just one of the musical guest
stars in this rock & roll road movie farce. Meat Loaf single-handedly
saves concerts by Hank Williams Jr. and Roy Orbison (who duet on "The
Eyes of Texas") and Blondie (who crank up "Ring of Fire")
as well. Directed by Alan Rudolph, from a slapdash story he co-wrote with
producer Zalman King (which surely qualifies as one of the most unlikely
creative partnerships in film history), this high-energy cinematic jam is
a raucous, disjointed goof. But only the comedy is played out of key. The
music rocks.
