Roadies - General Discussion

[whiporee]

It's streaming on Hulu now. I watched the premiere again last night. It was a neat little thing -- if it had come along in the times of pure streaming, it might have caught on. Crowe's love of all things rock and roll really is on display. Maybe too much, but on display.

I didn't watch it when it originally aired because I didn't have Showtime. Just finished binging over a couple of weeks.

My youngest brother was a local pick-up roadie while he was in college. He did that for a couple of summers, and I remembered some of his tales. He wanted to go on the road and had an invitation from a known band, but my mother freaked out.

Overall I enjoyed this. It was a pleasant interlude during an unusually cold, snowy winter. It made me long for my own concert-going glory days. We all lived for the concerts during our college years. I think about how, as the oldest sibling, I started it all with my bedroom record player, and my brothers followed me toward the music. It still binds us today.

Machine Gun Kelly: I only knew of him through his social media blitz with Megan Fox, but I thought he captured some of that goofy young roadie energy.

I would have enjoyed another season.

Just did a rewatch. I am still so pissed it didn’t get a second season.

That show was a thing of beauty. Superb ensemble. And how I loved Reg and Kelly-Ann.
