Oh my gosh Benjamin I can't believe it's been 24 years since you've been gone. I'm 69 now, I was 24 when I saw you guys live. You would've been 77. I'm so sorry you're gone. I lost my son to Cancer 4 years ago. No one should die before their time. I'll never forget you. I know how much you must have suffered because I took care of my son until he died right in front of me. I think he would've loved the Cars. He always loved bands that were different just like me. I pray that there is a place in Heaven for you and of course my son. I want all the good ones to be there. 😔💔💙💙❤️❤️😇😇🙏🙏🙏💕💕

[@roadtec3]

I'm very sorry for your loss.

[@DavidCalabrese-t7r]

[@scottdavidson526]

It's funny that you bring up Benjamin Orr. I was a big Cars fan back in the day and saw them in concert at the old Philadelphia Spectrum in '81 during the Shake it Up Tour. Just this year, I found out that Ben was born and raised in Lakewood, OH., which is about a 12 to 15 minute drive from where I live. It's a small world.

I was the lead guitar player in a 90's band called "The Refreshments". Elliot Easton is the single most underrated guitarists of all time. Listen to his brilliance in making the absolute most of the neck's melodic playground in a limited ammount of measures!!! Friggin' GENIUS! He was and continues to be a HUGE influence on my playing,. Man, this dude absolutely slays in the most melodic and comcise leads. WOW! JUST WOW!!!!🤘❤🤘❤ I ❤❤❤❤❤ THE CARS!!!! B.

So much underrated song from the The Cars. Man I feel like still being the 80, and gradating in 87 from high school and "The Cars" albums came out in the my school years. I'm jamming the cars albums last night in my garage and my kids going; what is it like being in school in the 80's dad??? Well I going tell them it was the best years tonight when I get home from work today!

[@jason-hy8ci]

I know what you mean, I was there too and sometimes it feels like it was just a dream. But I have to say it's kind of sad how kids today are asking their parents about their time in H.S. with such a wishing attitude..... Why aren't they making their own Times, their own destiny and fate. This society has really sucked the life out of these kids. I'd say it started somewhere in the mid to late 90's and now it's just a completely vapid, lifeless, soulless existence. I don't know how they can just keep plodding along.....

That damn Cancer took my son when he was 32. I was devastated. Poor Benjamin. My husband can't stand it when I talk about Benjamin but that's before we even met.

Each member is like a back up to the others. They almost seem like one of those 50s or 60s bands on Ed Sullivan in demeanor and yet they are a timeless kick ass rock band. No grandstanding. The singer sings then backs up to let the other instrumentals have prominence and then cooly steps back up to continue singing. Just a cool band with cool songs.

It is clear from the many comments, and I agree, the Cars evoke some of the strongest feelings of nostalgia for that era when compared to other bands of the period. I think in addition to the music being so good, it was due to the real shift in rock sound and cultural change that they ushered in.

One of those great songs that take me back like a lightning bolt to a specific time in my life...

Always love The Cars!!!❤

[@kenwink6353]

Man these guys are magic I grew up to these guys and I am fighting back tears missing benjamin orr and ric ocasek but someday we might all see the best concert ever when we join them when we have our number called with the rest of the guys

[@norcal1962]

Totally agree. I get a lump in my throat listening to The Cars.

Jesus, I was 15 in ‘81. Now I’m 58. I’ve had a great life, but it was never better than when I was a teenager in that decade. I think we really took for granted what a time it was, while we were growing up.

[@davidmarkstone5628]

1984…I was freshman at Purdue University living in Terry Courts. One of my unit mates was playing the cars on his pioneer stereo. I thought wow this band is cool. 40 years later I watch and listen to these videos and still say to myself, wow these guys are cool. I live vicariously in the 80’s. Best times ever.

@@davidmarkstone5628 I agree 100%, bro. The 80’s were a magical time and The Cars sure were cool. 👊🏼

16 in ‘81, 59 now. Totally agree with you, but these awesome memory makers still give us a tangible connection to our pasts!

18 in 1979 when the cars sing - I sing a lot - keeps me sane- & in love with people- I sure miss my dad -since 2/9/2006- We all need fresh joys

These guys were a breakthrough band that never got the credit they deserved . Totally unique writing and performance, beautifully melodic

[@warpdriver2076]

Are you kidding? I'm a boomer who listened to these guys in the '70s and they were huge. Everyone I knew had their albums. In addition, Elliot Easton was a big influence on many guitarists including Slash of Gun's and Roses.

[@broderecky]

@@warpdriver2076 Agreed, but when they went more pop, a lot of the old fans abandoned them. Their influence can't be denied but I don't think they get talked about as much as some other bands of their era.

Such a great song, so underrated and brings back great memories from high school

Was in high school when this came out. I never knew how good we had it. Ben Orr - Vietnam vet.
