A thoughtful piece on his life:

Painful news. I hate to see this thread pop to the top of the BBS list.
@buenavides1 did say "best.”
I was a young music listener when The Cars were popular. The funny thing is that Led Zeppelin was by that time, while still popular, a Dinosaur Rock band, and The Cars were a hip MTV band, and Robert Plant was born in 1948 and Ric Ocasek in 1945. Led Zeppelin is just an example. All those dinosaur rock guys just got popular before the ones that followed them did, even though the ones who followed them were often about the same age.
Cokie Roberts was the same age as Ric Ocasek.
Even Celtic fans are laying wreaths at Ibrox.
