    As one who witnessed the rise of The Cars firsthand, my brother was the drummer, I admit to not taking to Ric at first, it wasn't till years later when I saw him and Paulina and their kids and was surprised at how down to earth she was and how married life with her seemed to suit him,thanks for all the great music and for The Cars being a big part of my life.

      @Joe Materese It drives me crazy when people refer to David's drumming as minimalistic. When listening to the songs from the demo tapes(reels), there is so much more to his drumming.
      The cues to other band mates, the god fills are unique, the changes in tempo and timing.....all there to tell everyone where they are in the song. His responsibilities were endless.
      That, and his love/flair for the groups cover artwork.
      I miss it all.

With all the darkness in the world he does a great job shining. So smart and great at being informative while still keeping it light and funny, but also knowing when to hit a more serious note and keep it respectful.

    That was a beautiful thing to witness. My heart hurts, last weekend was a devastating few days. Eddie Money on Friday and Ric Ocasec on Sunday. Rock and roll took a real hit. The Cars were a breath of fresh air in a smoggy time in music. Rock, New Wave, Disco, Metal groups fighting for recognition and relevance and there were some real hit and miss options. The Cars fusion of synthesizer New Wave, and old school rock combined with awesome vocals stood out from the many. Ric, thank you for The Cars and all the hits, they remain a mainstay in my music catalogue. Rest well. Peace out.

    I'm Stephen's age and sometimes I wonder.. Damn! I'm as old as Stephen Frikken Colbert!!! I first saw The Cars on some New Years' Eve show and they were completely brand new and fresh and their song's kicked serious ass and I loved their music. They were a big part of the soundtrack of my high school years and for years after. I'll remember when my dad came up and told me his new favorite song of all-time was "Drive". Here's a guy who graduated in '58 and listened to that old-time rock n roll. Dad's still around and "Drive" is still his favorite song and The Cars were a magical band.

    “Ric was recuperating very well after surgery,” the Ocasek family wrote on Instagram. “Our two sons, Jonathan and Oliver, and I were making sure he was comfortable, ordering food and watching TV together. I found him still asleep when bringing him his Sunday morning coffee. I touched his cheek to rouse him. It was then I realized that during the night he had peacefully passed on.” He had heart surgery according to the latest reports.

    my first memories of the Cars was back in the early 80's when my friend got his 1st car and it had a booming stereo. the best sounding cassette he had was the Cars and we cranked it on repeat for as long as i can remember. good times.

      Same here - I actually don’t remember which one was my first, The Cars or Centerfield by John Fogerty. Either way, they’re both incredibly prized possessions...

    On Stephen's story of meeting Rick - I was volunteering at the Toronto International Film Festival one year, and I was an IT aide, I spent my shift in the basement of one of the buildings watching a workstation set up for people, and occasionally me or the other guy there went upstairs to clear the workstations up there of personal data, browsing history, etc.
    The one night, I went upstairs, did that, came back downstairs, and on my way to the basement I passed a group of people. I paused and realized I recognized one of them, and looked up at the stairs (the area was wide open with a balcony on the main floor) and saw the group on them. "Oh my god... that was Jon Stewart". He was there for the premiere of Rosewater.
    Unfortunately I never actually "met" Jon, but it's a wonderful feeling to just be that close to one of your heroes, and I'm glad Stephen was able to meet this one.
