75-year old Ric Ocasek, original lead-vocalist, rhythm-guitarist, and keyboardist for new-wave rock band The Cars, known for hits like "Just What I Needed", "Drive", "Good Times Roll", etc., has just passed away in NYC in his apartment, one year after he & The Cars were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Rock on in heaven Ric Ocasek.

I hope that he'll be able to rest in peace.

Dang. Feels like it wasn't long ago I was dancing in the living room to Magic on MTV as a kid. Farewell to another piece on my youth, and RIP- he wi be missed.

Drive.. just Drive, along with I Refuse, Break Away, You Might Think..

Good stuff. Most of their music was / still is to me.

Drive has one of the best misheard lyrics ever

"Pork Pie"

Great song in it's own right too.

RIP.
