We played quite a few of their songs, we were really good at them for some reason. Cars was not really my thing, I was a Hammond B3/Prog Rock guy, we played some Deep Purple, Heep, Floyd, Boston etc., even the Doors. But of that new agish genre, I liked the Cars. Like them even more now. Bye, Bye.... Rick, RIP. |

User ID: 77898262 Philippines 09/15/2019 09:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I cant remember his name at the moment, but the guy who was the "leader" or the cars was that dude with the sweet feathered blonde hair cut. He sang on the 70s hits, then Ric sang on a lot of the 80s hits and because of MTV, everyone thought that the Cars was Rics band. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76705143 Anyway, RIP Ric. I was a fan and thought the Cars was your band. Benjamin Orr (Had a MUCH better voice than Rick) Benjamin Orr died around 2000. In an interview, Ric Ocasek was asked how did they pick who would be lead singer for a song. Rick Ocasek replied, "Any of our songs that needed good lead vocals, Ben would sing it".

He was pronounced dead at the scene. Law enforcement sources confirmed the deceased was Ocasek. :( Saw them live....weird. Music was great. They never spoke. Turned out all the lights between songs. Like they were doing it because they had too. Odd as hell. Felt like they were being dicks, but with new wave types it was hard to tell....could have just been “artsy”...1985 I think... |

Most of us were fortunate to live through the better decades of life in America. True American culture died after 16 years of George W Bush and Obamanation as POTUS. There is always hope, but the evil globalists are winning. All I can do is keep praying that the Lord returns soon to cast out all evil and usher in the age of love and peace.
