We will all appear on this thread, just a matter of time.

Hopefully, I look forward to reading and contributing to many of them.

 

 

I possibly could have worded that better? 🤣

Wow. Ric Ocasek was a real powerhouse artist at one time. The Cars were huge for a while. And like Phil stated pumped out a lot of hits, all of them good. My favorite Cars song - Drive

 

RIP Ric. You brought a lot of people joy.

Ocasek was young in today's terms.  According to one of the articles I read, "The Cars’ frontman died of hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, according to the NYC Medical Examiner’s Office. This is plaque build-up in arteries related to untreated high blood pressure."

Apparently he was resting after surgery when he died.

Damn I hate posting this. Hannah Witheridge, who was viciously murdered along with her friend on Koh Tao, her sister Laura passed after a quick illness. Almost 5 years to the day after her sister

That poor family, I can’t even imagine.....RIP

That's terrible

“Just.What I Needed” is one of my Pattaya anthems.

Not been on the board for a few days, but was in Le Pub on Saturday night and spoke to a few guys there about Ric passing.

While I love "Drive" and as @misteregg says here "Just What I Needed" my favourite Ric song was sung by him as an individual - Emotion in Motion. That song has a lot of memories for me - good ones I might add.

Rest in Peace Ric.
