RIP: Ric Ocasek, singer, founder, and front man of The Cars
Wow. Rough week for '70s/'80s rockers. Eddie Money died last week, he announced last month he had oesophageal cancer. Three decades of three packs a day can do that to you.
Ric, this afternoon, was found unresponsive in his New York apartment and later declared deceased. No cause of death has been declared, so I guess we'll have to wait.
While I think The Cars best material was their early stuff, they released an album a few years ago and it was good stuff, and definitely recognizably true Cars material.
