Made in Texas Film Series...ROADIE

Wednesday, March 10 @ 7:30pm

Texas Spirit Theater - 1800 Congress Avenue, Austin

James “BigBoy” Medlin (co-writer), Sonny Davis (actor), Alvin Crow (performer) and Jeff Nightbyrd (Location Manager) will be in attendance!

Meat Loaf stars as Travis W. Redfish, a farm boy with a genius for electric engineering that he eventually parlays into the title of World's Greatest Roadie. En route, he falls for groupie Lola Bouilliabase (Kaki Hunter) and helps pursue her dream of meeting rock idol Alice Cooper (playing himself). Their pursuit of Alice leads them on a wild chase across the country, replete with 1970s road movie staples such as barroom brawls, car chases, and burly truckers. Blondie, Roy Orbison, Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and Hank Williams Jr. all make appearances, and Art Carney has a nice bit as Travis's father.

Screenplay by James "Big Boy" Medlin and Michael Ventura
Directed by Alan Rudolph
