About Story
Roadie is a entertainment industry legend about the
working idler who make live pop-music performances happen. He becomes smitten
with rock groupie Lola Bouillabase, a "roadie" whose sole aim 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.
