Oh no.

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

Classy band. They generally shunned the spotlight, We all have different tastes in music but the Cars were cool cats.

“We used to joke that the first album should be called TheCars’ Greatest Hits,” said guitarist Elliot Easton.

All of the songs on that album were either hits or well-known...no B-side songs at all.

I didn’t read anywhere that he was ailing, but he was always pretty low key and private, so I suppose that isn’t surprising...

Cars greatest hits and Candy-O CDs are both in my 4x4 all the time-”Shake it Up” is one of my favorite driving tunes to hear on the way to work...
