| Given that their first album wasn't release until 78 or 79, I would not have guessed that he was 75. The Cars were not one of my favorites, but the songs were fun and Elliot Easton's lead guitar was always spot on. |

Yes Elliot had that country twang going on up against the synth warbles and the punk/wave vocals. I thought it was comical but in a way a down to earth approach on being so "spacey" with everything else. The solo in My Best Friend's Girlfriend" is one of those.
Elliot Easton, cow-punk extraordinaire.

Sometime in 1972 I picked up two guys with guitars hitchhiking outside of Boston. I was in my first year of being a musician and had a great time chatting on the ride. They had just had their first record released and they gave me this promo copy, which I still have. Turned out to be Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr. RIP, Ric.
