Four members of the Cars -- Elliot Easton, Greg Hawkes, Benjamin Orr, and David Robinson -- never displayed any ambivalence of the purpose and power structure of The Cars. Simply put, the Cars were a band that applied its immense talents to play Ric Ocasek songs, and no others. They all knew, understood, and accepted this.

Ocasek wrote your favorite Cars songs and mine, plus everybody. Five Stars David Raymer This is a great and well written book. Thank you very
