    Yeah that sucks. Great band, hit after hit!

    Probably one of the dullest live acts in history but this band was made for the radio.

    My faves are candy-o, since you’re gone, you might think, tonight she comes, touch and go, let’s go, double life, and not ashamed to admit it, Shake it Up!

    Their recent Orr-less album was really good, but had hardly any guitar work which was a really strange choice, and kept
    An album full of excellent songs from being a Cars classic.

    He lived and was found today a block from my gf’s place. RIP Ric, cars always in rotation at least one long pinball pickup a year.

    Quoted from Pickle:

    Sad to hear as they made some good music. Shame he couldn’t mend fences with the band for a reunion. I believe the other members were down for it but Ric was not on board period.

    ??

    They did an album and short tour in 2010 or so.

    And it wasn’t about mending fences, ric just never wanted to do a reunion. It’s nice that he changed his mind as the album was very good, and old fans got to see them play. If you didn’t see it don’t feel too bad they were a very boring live act.
