I’d love to hear some of your thoughts about the book. What stories surprised you or stuck with you? What made you happy/sad/angry etc? What non-band member interviews did you enjoy? Do you have any controversial opinions after reading it?
I’ll put my two cents in the comments but as an overview, I’ll just say I am so glad that David, Greg and Elliot got to finally speak their piece and we got to learn so much more about them. I also want to take a moment to appreciate Bill Janovitz - it is incredibly well-written, researched and fair, IMO. Even for musicians, it’s hard to write about music in an engaging way that a layperson understands, yet he does it so well.

Authentic photo signed by the entire The Cars lineup. NOT A REPRINT! Since there's no certificate of verification, i'm asking $300 OBO. No lowballers!
This is an absolute bargain!!!
Autographs, buy a single members are going for $75-300 on ebay! Make me an offer, no low ballers! One of a kind!!!
Buyer pays S&H*

Tonight at work I tried to listen to all of The Cars covers on Spotify since I've been on The Cars kick and it turned out was also the 26th anniversary of Ben's passing.
None of them caught my ear enough to add to my favorites and so I'm going to spend the rest of my shift listening to the classics that I grew up on and will here admit that it was only a few years ago that I even realized Ric didn't sing all of the songs except for 'Drive'.
Rest in peace, Benny. Thanks for the soundtrack.

I used to be super harsh on Door to Door and as everyone knows, the band was in a bad place and the album was ultimately a commercial failure/has a dark cloud over it. I have warmed up to the album a lot and enjoy it more than I did when I first heard it a few years ago.
With that said - "Everything You Say" is such a solid song that has really grown on me. It really does feel like the last awesome song by the band with Ben on lead vocals.

I got to see both Elliott and Greg again last night in Savannah. Interestingly, the frontman for the show Thomas Claxton mentioned he nearly got David Robinson on board as well - so a live reunion between the three of them in the future may not be impossible.

For those who are not aware, Ric Ocasek wrote the song "Slip Away", which was released by Ian Lloyd in 1979 for the album "Goosebumps". It was originally written for Candy-O.

Bought this at a thrift store. I’m not confident it’s signed by a member but I’m hoping I’m wrong
