[gauchojake]

Well that sucks. Guy was a genius.

[VeggieDog]

Strange-looking dude.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Strange-looking dude.

But was married to a super model.

[mpaschal34]

yes...strange dude.

but great musician.

RIP!

[VeggieDog]

But was married to a super model.

Yep. Money will get you Honey.

[JIBBBY]

Oh man that sucks!! I was just getting back into his music.. No lie..

He had some great hits when I was growing. Great break up songs.. Ugly dude that got the hot chicks too..

[gauchojake]

they just played a Cars song on the outro

[turbobets]

Damn I'm getting old.

[JIBBBY]

So many hits...

Damn. First Eddie Money and now Ric Ocasek. Both 70 years old. So who is going to be number 3?

i'll take ozzy.

[grease lightnin]

Bummer.

RIP

[RockBottom]

i'll take ozzy.

Solid pick there.

[JIBBBY]

75 for a rock star is a good life.. I'd say he got lucky.. Dying hopefully in his sleep or by overdose in his hotel not the worst way to go.

Sucks dying in a hospital for weeks with cancer, or some heart disease, doped up daily and just waiting to pass away.. Worse even Cancer and kemo....

Take me out at 75 in a hotel in my sleep I'll be ok with that, would like to make 90 though and in good health not losing my mind is what I'm shooting for.

[grease lightnin]

i'll take ozzy.

I’ll go Keith Richards

[DiggityDaggityDo]

I guess that 2nd ticket to paradise was for Ric Ocssek?

[DiggityDaggityDo]

I’ll go Keith Richards

Then I’ll take Little Richard.

[mpaschal34]

I’ll go Keith Richards

another good choice.

although he could already be dead and they have an imposter filling in for him.

[blankoblanco]

Sad day. Guy defined the new wave scene in the early 80s and wrote a lot of great songs

[JIBBBY]

He was married to Paulina for 28 years and just divorced last year is what I'm reading.. Could have died from a broken heart or just hit the dope up to hard in the hotel room alone and the old heart couldn't take it..

Who frigg'n knows what demons these rock stars have? Look at Prince, Elvis and Michael Jackson for example. At 74 years old you shouldn't divorce that late in life as it can't be good. May get depressed and self medicate... Ease the pain, nothing to live for anymore type thinking, hit the hotel room alone and shoot the dope up and die.. ..

I'm just speculating though maybe he died from natural causes..

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Imagine this sucking you off for 28 years.

[The Kraken]

Damn, The Cars had some classic. His voice was one of a kind and stood out even amongst the great vocalists

I’ll throw Steven Tyler in the hat for next dead

Didn't Mick Jagger just have a ticker problem.. I'll bet ya on this, Tyler vs Jagger to go first? Let me know if you want action, even odds Kraken with betpoints.. ..

[Art Vandelay]

Love Ric and the Cars! Debut album one of the all-timers - Never gets old. Glad he got to perform back in 2018 at their HOF induction in Cleveland. RIP...

[jjgold]

Rip

Strong band

She was the one that found him, so the breakup must not have been that hostile.

[JIBBBY]

Cars were the best..

Wanted to see this band play at the Hollywood bowl here in Cali one day. This is one band I never saw and I've seen them all live.

Gotta check this off the bucket list as a no play ..

[JIBBBY]

She was the one that found him, so the breakup must not have been that hostile.

That's a good thing for starters.. Like I said Veggie I was just speculating..

28 years there the love doesn't go away over night for most.. That's a long time together..

I’ll take ya up on this

500 points

[mpaschal34]

We need a musician death pool. Everyone throw 100 points in and give a name. First one that kicks the bucket takes the prize.

[MinnesotaFats]

Harry Belafonte
Loretta Lynn
Little Richard
Tina Turner

....all about 90. Figure one will drop by October

[Thrilla]

R.I.P. sir

Great idea

We’d have posters stalking musicians and sprinkling Fentanyl powder on their French Toast

[spro23]

Willie nelson might never die.

Does anyone seriously think theres an afterlife? I dont
