Audio With External Links Item Preview
Music writer Margaret Moser and film actor Sonny Carl Davis discuss the classic made-in-Austin movie Roadie, the Austin Music Awards, and the South by Southwest music, film, and interactive festival.
An "unabashed former groupie," award-winning rock journalist Margaret Moser is a senior editor and staff writer for the Austin Chronicle, and is also the author of three books including The Edge Guide to Austin and Rock Stars Do the Dumbest Things. Moser has been a commentator for NPR and has written for Sony Records and MOJO magazine. She has served on the Austin Music Commission, is currently on the Board of the Texas Music Hall of Fame, founded the South Texas Popular Culture Center in San Antonio, and directs the Chronicle’s annual Austin Music Awards show during South by Southwest.
Sonny Carl Davis is a film actor, a musician, and a screenwriter. He played a redneck entrepreneur in Texas filmmaker Eagle Pennell’s The Whole Shootin’ Match and played memorable roles in Last Night at the Alamo and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He also had featured parts in Thelma and Louise, Melvin and Howard, and a supporting role in Red Headed Stranger with Willie Nelson. Sonny was also a founding member in 1968 of Austin’s legendary Uranium Savages, a theatrical rock group that played Austin’s venerable 60s-70s rock venues.
Moser and Davis, who were both involved in the production of the classic 1980 Alan Rudolph movie, Roadie, starring Meat Loaf, host a special screening of the film on March 5 in Austin. Meat Loaf is a 2012 inductee into the Texas Film Hall of Fame. This episode of Rag Radio was produced during KOOP's spring membership drive; fundraising pitches, underwriting announcements, and recorded music have not been edited out of this podcast.

Rag Radio (koop.org/ragradio) is produced in the studios of KOOP 91.7-FM, an all-volunteer, cooperatively-run community radio station in Austin, Texas, in association with The Rag Blog (theragblog.blogspot.com) and the New Journalism Project, a Texas 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
