Author Peter Aaron peels back the layers of the late, great Ric Ocasek's life and career. You'll hear how his meeting with bassist/vocalist Benjamin Orr would lead to the formation of The Cars, the band which rose to fame with several hit singles in the 80s before breaking up in 1988. What caused the band to break up? Did Ric and Ben ever speak again before Ben's tragic passing in 2000? What led to the 2011 Cars' reunion? Plus, after Ric's passing in 2019, his life still remains a mystery, even to those who knew him. Aaron talks about it all in this compelling episode.
