tinnitus photography Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 was really surprised to learn that he was 75. i mean, Macca is 77 and the last Beatles record was 7 years before the 1st Cars record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I saw he was 70 on one article 75 on another! Still very sad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brownie Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Sad news. Two music icons of my high school years dead within days of each other. We had a jukebox in my high school cafeteria, and someone was always playing the Cars or Eddie Money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Very sad. I had no idea that he and Ben Orr started playing together in Ohio in the late 60s and that (according to wikipedia) "they formed a Crosby, Stills and Nash-style folk rock band called Milkwood. They released one album, How's the Weather, on Paramount Records in early 1973 but it failed to chart. After Milkwood, Ocasek formed the group Richard and the Rabbits, which included Orr and keyboardist Greg Hawkes, who had played on Milkwood's album." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
