R.I.P. Ric Ocasek

[Drago]

Famous for his excellent pop rock musings with The Cars, but prolific as a producer too. Pancreatic cancer got him, not nice.

Anyway, raise a glass to the man!

.....was working in the States back in '84 and Drive was their big hit then - played on the radio all the time. Love the song now as it pinpoints me right back to those happy days....

If I remember correctly 'Drive' was the first single mass produced using the CD format.
At the time I thought a stupid idea, everyone knows records come on vinyl, what is the point of making them come in a format which does not work with a needle on a turntable, it'll never catch on .....
