A big part of my youth died with this news. Firest Benjamin Orr and now this.

[P.O.E.]

RIP.

Didn’t know he was that old.

Great catalog of tunes.

Thanks for all the happy times in the late 70s & 80s.

Oh no.

The Cars’ first album is one of the greatest first albums ever made. RIP Ric, and say hi to Ben for me.

Eddie Money, Ric Ocasek and who will be number 3?

[xp38]

Wow another one Keith Richards has outlived.

[Mr. Blond]

The Great Boomer Rock N Roll Die Off is well underway. RIP

[dfwgator]

He paid his dues for years, to only have had his first success in his mid-30s.

[caver]

The very first CD I ever bought was the The Cars.

[dfwgator]

Only surprising because he looked pretty good for his age, at least with some of the more recent pics of him I saw.

[RandallFlagg]

AWWW!
I had his first single.
RIP, Sir.

I admired Ric for one thing... If a guy, who looked like him could get a girl, who looked like Paulina Porzikovia, and guys, who looked like Billy Joel could get a girl, who looked like Christie Brinkley, I thought that maybe, just maybe there was the tiniest bit of hope for the rest of us. :P

Ric Ocasek and Eddie Money. Now we’re getting into my era’s heroes. 😞

Good music. The kind you like to listen to driving at a little over the speed limit.

This saddens me. I’m sorry to hear it. It doesn’t seem possible that he was in his 70’s
