Never bought a record of the Cars, but heard them all the time on the radio. Part of my high school sound track.
Their eponymous first album is all good, both sides. Their second album, "Candy O", not so much.

Oh no. I love the cars.
I hated when Ben Oar (sp?) died when he was in his 30’s or 40’s, now Ric.
I did not know Ric was 75. I thought he was a bit younger.
I thought Ric was younger too.
Aside from his considerable musical contributions, Ric Ocasek is the man who introduced what was then known as a "Bi-Level" haircut (and would later go on to be retroactively and derisively known as a "mullet" thanks to the Beastie Boys) to the world, and no-one ever wore one better.
Rest In Peace, Ric.
