I can't believe someone with Rundgrens talent would even agree to be in the same room with that bunch of talentless geeks, much less appear on stage with them.
Music in the 1970s sucked in general, and The Cars sucked in particular.

I agree with everything you said except the `70`s. The Cars were `80`s. They were part of the "New wave" abomination in the `80`s.. New wave which was a corporate MTV term for watered down punk. I never got them as well, Ric sings like a retard and if I hear "Let the good times roll" one more time on my radio I am going to smash it. That or "Don`t bring me down" by ELO. My God, there are so many damn songs out there that are just mind blowingly phenomenal, yet everytime I hear a oldies station they always play the same garbage like this Cars crap or ELO. Why don`t they try the "Wanton song" by Led Zep for once or some Jim Croce for once who you never ever hear, stuff like " I got a name" or even Terry Jacks "Seasons in the sun" lol! Really, you never hear that stuff. It`s always "Let the god times roll" which I assume is because Ichabod Ocasek is VP of Electra records. Another mystery of Ichabod... He gets the gorgeous model and the VP position yet he`s about as ugly as you can get and his songs sound like chewing gum commercials.
