Rick Ocasek of The Cars passed away yesterday.
Would have loved to see these guys in concert.
One of my favorites.
Those 80’s songs had such a lilt to them and even a sad song could have a song with the sound of a happy outlook.
My friend Dan once commented about the tone and feeling of different genres and eras of music. I think about that a lot.
In any case Rick, thank you.
This reminds me of an article I recently read https://theweek.com/articles/861750/coming-death-just-about-every-rock-legend
And I will add a link to another sad story here. https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/the-day-the-music-burned/ar-AACIbo2
This is the VERY reason I’m looking forward to Springsteen’s film “Western Stars”. Seems many of the musicians from “our time” have become more introspective in their, ne, our old age.
Big fan of The Cars, The Cure, Joe Jackson, Marshall Crenshaw, Lou Reed. Soooo many more from that era.
