Baby Boomer Bliss: The Cars let the good times roll again

by Pico

The Cars. Yeah, you heard of them. If you’re between the age of 35 and 55 you’re probably even muttering “sure, but they were way overplayed”. I know I’ve heard my lifetime quota of “Let’s Go” before 1981. But let’s face it, they were a damned good rock ‘n’ roll band. The one new wave group that non-new wave fans liked. Ric Ocasek’s jittery vocals alternating with Ben Orr’s smooth croon. Greg Hawkes’ icy but never overdone synths.

WE'VE MOVED!: Dablog by DaSlob is now ... SOMETHING ELSE. Find the remainder of this review through the new link.
