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. 😔💔💙💙❤️❤️😇😇🙏🙏🙏💕💕

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.

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.

Oh my gosh ! My most favorite Cars song ever ! I saw them live back in 1979. They were absolutely awesome ! I had the biggest crush on Benjamin Orr. I just recently found out he was gone. 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. I have so much love and compassion for people , especially when they die too young. But I will never stop listening to the Cars ! NEVER ! 😌💔❤️💙💙😇😇🎸🎶

My bros and I thought the Cars were from England, since they adopted accents from the beatles etc... just needed to hear this super catchy tune to shake that sickening depressing feeling that comes with the passing of time. Wish I could go back to the fall of 1980

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.....

What's so cool about the Cars is that it's about really great songs performed well. Not about choreography and celebrity and antics and spandex and spectacle. 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. I use the word cool a lot in this comment, but that's because the Cars are so damn cool.

It's called 'work ethic'. (In many of their vids, you can tell Rick and Ben are giving body language cues to each other as to how well both them, and the rest of the band, are doing their jobs of keeping with what Ric and Ben expect.) Tight formation and harmony. :)

Oh, they were recognized. The clubs on Ft Carson played them in regular rotation. But flipping vinyl was time-consuming. They eventually put them on reel to reel and let it ride. The Cars, The Police, REO, Styx, Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Boston... Times were good. Music was peaking. I miss my team. My unit. My brothers and sisters.

These guys were f$@king great, one of the best concerts I've ever seen, clean tight pure sounding, and I've seen many of the best. Their sound was so unique with pop, rock, new wave, techno influences combining to make their own original sound. They were so fresh sounding when their first album came out, everyone was playing it at the parties. I'd go as far as to say no one was like this since The Beatles in uniqueness and sound.

One of those wonderful, haunting songs that instantly teleports me back to the 70's, and happier times. Heard in a Cars interview one of the band members mentioned Ben disliked this song. They never gave a reason. Did they ever play it live? Sad to think one of the most haunting melodies by The Cars doesn't rank higher in their repertoire. It does have a very heavy 70's disco beat, perhaps that's why.
