Drive was my favorite song by the Cars,

 

 

Loved the video too.

I could not get enough of him.  Loved his music and with MTV that was even better!!  Watching him and listening to him.

     My son had a band, he was lead singer and sang many of Rick’s songs. 

      I grew up on rock & roll but loved the music of the Cars!

Another pic. I think his older son looks just like him; the younger one looks like Paulina. He also had 4 other boys from previous relationships. I remember when they married. I thought they were like Patti and Keith - gorgeous model with skinny, not so gorgeous rocker guy. It sounds like he was happy in his last minutes with Paulina and his younger two all there.

He died in his sleep .....  the best way to go, IMO.

I saw them in concert in the early 80's. They were always a favorite.

A poster from an 70's and 80's group on FaceBook posted this, supposedly it's Ocasek (shirtless), Money and Orr circa 1978.
