In this context, someone who works for a band but doesn't perform, doing the 
grunt work of setting up and taking down stages and sets, moving amplifiers 
and speakers about, and basically making sure the band gets from place to 
place on the road. Hence the name.  I interpreted "I was a roadie" to 
indicate Mike had seen such an instrument while working for a band that used 
one?

   The NFL should go international. I'd pay to
   see the Detroit Lions vs the Roman Catholics.
