All of which means there's going to be an awful lot of mourning going on.

Behold the killing fields that lie before us: Bob Dylan (78 years old); Paul McCartney (77); Paul Simon (77) and Art Garfunkel (77); Carole King (77); Brian Wilson (77); Mick Jagger (76) and Keith Richards (75); Joni Mitchell (75); Jimmy Page (75) and Robert Plant (71); Ray Davies (75); Roger Daltrey (75) and Pete Townshend (74); Roger Waters (75) and David Gilmour (73); Rod Stewart (74); Eric Clapton (74); Debbie Harry (74); Neil Young (73); Van Morrison (73); Bryan Ferry (73); Elton John (72); Don Henley (72); James Taylor (71); Jackson Browne (70); Billy Joel (70); and Bruce Springsteen (69, but turning 70 next month).
So Ric Ocasek was the same age as Keith Richards. Think about that for a moment.

This.. I sent off for a demo of the Cars 1st record and played it about a year before they were signed. Then I had them on 8 track, cassette, record, CD and now downloaded in a file.

Great songwriter. RIP

That was the age of the ballad, everyone had one back then... loved the lyrics, a sad song that hits home during a breakup

Bummer, the first concert I ever saw was the Cars. It's been a long time since Benjamin Orr died (the bass player and other frontman/singer) and now Ocasek is gone. Very sad indeed

This is true in at least two senses.


...Yes, we've lost some already. On top of the icons who died horribly young decades ago — Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, John Lennon — there's the litany of legends felled by illness, drugs, and just plain old age in more recent years: George Harrison, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Tom Petty.

Those losses have been painful. But it's nothing compared with the tidal wave of obituaries to come. The grief and nostalgia will wash over us all. Yes, the Boomers left alive will take it hardest — these were their heroes and generational compatriots. But rock remained the biggest game in town through the 1990s, which implicates GenXers like myself, no less than plenty of millennials.

All of which means there's going to be an awful lot of mourning going on.

Behold the killing fields that lie before us: Bob Dylan (78 years old); Paul McCartney (77); Paul Simon (77) and Art Garfunkel (77); Carole King (77); Brian Wilson (77); Mick Jagger (76) and Keith Richards (75); Joni Mitchell (75); Jimmy Page (75) and Robert Plant (71); Ray Davies (75); Roger Daltrey (75) and Pete Townshend (74); Roger Waters (75) and David Gilmour (73); Rod Stewart (74); Eric Clapton (74); Debbie Harry (74); Neil Young (73); Van Morrison (73); Bryan Ferry (73); Elton John (72); Don Henley (72); James Taylor (71); Jackson Browne (70); Billy Joel (70); and Bruce Springsteen (69, but turning 70 next month).

A few of these legends might manage to live into their 90s, despite all the … blah, blah, blah...
He missed Ozzie Ozbourne and others who will soon pass

I don't mind ballads. But it was so out of style for them and then with a different vocalist. I prefer ballads where you can tell it's the same group.

But I don't want to go to negative on a remembrance thread. I listened to the original album and Candy O a ton.

I had no idea until now that The Cars released two more albums after Heartbeat City, including one in 2011 with the original members (minus Orr, of course). For some reason, I thought Heartbeat City was their swan song.
