As I wake up this morning three days after the news of Eddie Money I heard that Ric Ocasek has also passed.

I met Eddie through Lee Beverly, his longtime bass player. Eddie was always engaging, accommodating and approachable. We weren't on each other's Christmas card list, but it was always nice to get a nod when he saw me in the pit, or to hang out a bit after a show.

He'll be missed.

Another talented person whose band, the Cars, gave us so many memorable songs (and great lead guitar licks too). R.I.P.

I know it's not a Cars' song, but
". . . just another band out of Boston" they weren't just another band.

Hopefully there's two tickets to paradise available.
