@coastermatt.bsky.social@georgiosmasman.bsky.social"[My desire was] to tell a story. Just something you'd actually say to someone, rather than one line & then something clever to rhyme with it."from "Benjamin Orr: #TheCars Mr. Casual Steps Out" by Rob Tannenbaum, Musician Magazine, March 1987.
@jzimmer.bsky.socialBenjamin Orr, bassist and co-lead vocalist of The Cars, was born today September 8, 1947.
The song"Drive", which he sang so beautifully was indeed one of the most iconic rock ballads of the 1980s.
Ben...forever missed. ❣️🎸🎶
