Looking back, Ric Ocasek made sounds that echo. You may have even added it to the memorials. Hell, one of their songs probably just popped into your mind as you read that. Many of us learned on Twitter, and as tribute after tribute flooded our feeds celebrating his vast career, his influence became quite clear: People didn’t just love The Cars they lived with The Cars. On Sunday night, news broke that Ocasek died in his Manhattan home at the age of 75.
For most of the world, though, he made an impression as the voice of The Cars, whose groundbreaking new wave soundtracked all of our lives.
The type of cool that allowed for him to take a small cameo as a beatnik in John Waters’ Hairspray - splashing paint on a canvas and freaking himself out with a lightbulb - and turn it into a scene cemented in memory for over 30 years.
