Roadie Movie Review 1980

Supposedly a look at the back-stage world of rock 'n' roll, but the performance and direction leave a lot to be desired. Meatloaf is a roadie who desperately wants to meet Alice Cooper, and spends the movie trying to do so. Features Art Carney, and musical names like Blondie, Roy Orbison, Hank Williams Jr., and Don Cornelius (of "Soul Train" fame).
