The Cars first two albums came out while I was a rock DJ at Mizzou. Candy-O was a smash album with Vargas Girl art on the cover. You don't hear bands cover Cars tunes because the synth work is so elaborate and essential in re-creating the song. Ben Orr the bass player died from cancer almost 20 years ago. Ric helped produce other bands the last 20 years or so. He was by all accounts a super nice guy and one hell of a songwriter. RIP.
