Roadie premiered

June 13, 1980
Meatloaf displayed the range of his talents when he played a roadie in the film Roadie, which opened in the U.S. on this date.

It’s been mistakenly reported that screenplay was inspired by Alice Cooper’s 1977 song Road Rats (a tune about roadies which he re-recorded for the film). Originally, Cooper’s role was written for Mick Jagger.
