I still think Ben Orr was the better of the singers. Or, at least sang the better songs.

Anyway, RIP Ric.

RIP Ric.
Not sure how many of you remember that Elliott Eastman was a member of the SG group we used to be involved with... A little of “The Cars” trivia!

One of the best bands of their era.

Ever notice how their albums were created to be played side to side, all at once?

Just tragic, especially after Eddie Money.

We better get used to it, we are now the elder statesmen. Where did all that time go?

I remember when I was young it took forever for your BD to come around, now it seems as if they won’t stop coming up so fast..

R.I.P. Ric..

Our parents were right about time flying by as you get older.

Seems the more candles on my cake the smarter my Dad gets lol.

Let's just make the remainder of our time loud and restless! Don't lay down my brothers.

Always remember him playing the Dean Cadillac's, S.G.'s, or Those Fender hybrids- Jazzmaster's?

Dude had style. Guitars, clothes, women!

Steve, I was just gonna post a vid of him on his Dean.

So here it is

I always liked those Cadillacs as one of my top 2 or 3 Deans. Dean V and Caddy are tie for the top.

This is an excellent capture of the Cars.

I've heard rumors that there's a H.D. version of this show.

This was the Cars, doing what they did back then, when they were tight as h#*ll. Each player integral to the song.

Being in Boston, my facebook page has been flooded with Ric Ocasek stuff today. He was always around Boston, and could always be seen in Kenmore Square, Allston, and Harvard Square. Anyway, I never new so many people would throw snowballs at him in the wintertime while screaming "Shake it Up!"
