Damn, I had no idea he was 75. When I was a kid I used to think the video for You Might Think was the greatest thing ever.

Cars did some really excellent tunes. I think it really helps to put the music in historical context. Groups like the Cars were playing rock solid tunes.

Just What I Needed needs to be some walk of sound for musicians in LA. Or maybe Chicago?

I hadn’t seen the You Might Think video and now that I have I think it may be time he got #metoo-ed.

Also, that chick is pretty hot.

I always liked The Cars. Thanks for the hours and hours of entertainment Rick.
Just saw this on Twitter. Elvira said she commented on how great his pin was and he gave it to her.

He was of Czech ancestry and all Czechs I know considered him a national treasure, especially after he married Paulina (also Czech)

Stop ruining bands for me by liking them.

Also that was a Ben Orr song not Ocasek.

Lol, I guess maybe it’s inappropriate to mention my favorite songs being Ben Orr on lead vocals but Drive is my other favorite Cars’ song. But still written by Ocasek.

I don’t like Nickelback or Collective Soul or Train or Spin Doctors.

The Cars were SOOOOO ahead of their time. Their sounds is distinct and incredibly unique.
