Jeff, Laura, Patrick Swayze, and Linda on the set of Road House in California in 1988.

Poster for Road House starring Patrick Swayze. Jeff played Cody, the leader of the house band in the Double Deuce, the road house of the title.

In and around the band’s busy schedule, early-morning radio and late-night television talk shows had to be squeezed in. The band appeared on all the hot late-night TV talk shows of the late 1980s: Late Night with David Letterman, The Arsenio Hall Show, and The Tonight Show.

Did they get caught up in the glitz? The band members were trying to keep costs down, so they self-managed. For years they drove around in an old Volvo station wagon with no roof rack, finding a way to cram all their gear into its back end. They didn’t do the limo thing unless someone else was picking up the tab, like the record company, or for special events or photo opportunities.

“A limo is not as convenient as you might think, anyway,” says Rockman. “You have to crawl in and out. There’s a lot to be said for a customized van.”
