I first heard Ric Ocasek of The Cars in 1979 over a console stereo in La Palma California. I was a 15-year-old drummer. And jamming with a young guitar player. In fact, either Mike Stevens or Luis Oliver was there too. Eventually, I bought The Cars record. Their music taught me about rock n roll. I still listen to the Cars. Their songs never got old to me. RIP, Ric Ocasek.
