Benjamin Orr. I think overlooked and underrated as a part of one of the greatest bands in my lifetime. No discredit to Ric Ocasek but I think Ben felt a bit of under appreciation towards the end. He got sick and died too early.
I saw so many new groups in 1978 van halan black Sabbath the cats etc etc most of the bands I saw like Boston most of the band members have passed away I would say Rick okasak was like Tom Schultz created Boston rik okasak created the car's gri
We had cancer at the same time in 2000. Only that I was allowed to wait to get my chemo after my birthday at the end of October and he had already died on the 3rd. 😣😥
Also if ya dig this song by the cars on youtube 😀 you may enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and also read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on RU-vid. 😀
All mixed up; always felt it was a Jim Steinman song. You all know what I mean. I’m just happy I can pull off Ben in Karaoke. That high kept me happy for 2 years and then divorce happens.
@@brianvernon249 I love Jim Steinman! I don't think All Mixed Up is dramatic enough for that comparison, but the two songs together are definitely long enough!
The cars are a band that be listened to well into the future. To create popular music tied closely to the time it was written ,and not have it sound dated is what musicians strive for . These guys were sleeping giants
