Sort of shocked to hear of his passing this morning. Sort of manufactured music, but a big part of my life. I lived in Boston during the years the Cars were hot and met them several times. I was walking o0n Boylston Street one night. Saw a black Jag coming toward me. Inside, dressed in black, wearing black sunglasses at night and smoking a black cigarette. Ric Ocasek. Paulina Porizkova was the icing on the cake.

The lead singer of The Cars named Benjamin Orr died a while back too. 
This is probably my favorite song that they have.
The Cars - Just What I Needed (Live Aid 1985)

Wow, sad news. I didn't know that Ben Orr had also died. Holy shit Batman, are we ever getting old..... 
I saw them in concert way back when Moses still wore short pants.
They were awesome. As always, copious amounts of weed were burned at that concert.

The Cars.
Damn, that takes me back.
First taste was summer 1978.
Heartbreak City was the most recent LP I listened to until I wore it out.
Good times, RIP.

the cars kicked ass for sure and were a huge part of the alt rock movement of the 80's

My boyfriend humped the air when I said Paulina Porizkova name out loud...very cool story!
Paulina Porizkova was a revelation. White bikini Sprite ad in 1986 had a huge impact on young men at the time. It's on Youtube and watching it now makes me realize how innocent we all were back then.
In 1989, she made the movie Her Alibi. Terrible movie, but by then, I had a commercial photography studio in Baltimore. All of the bookstore scenes were shot in the used bookstore directly across the street. Got to see her going in and out to film which was way less exciting than I thought it would be.
We lost touch after that
