  5. #CurrentlyReading This is a pretty good read if you're into #TheCars. Most everyone who had anything to do with the band is interviewed. Love the chapters about the early years when #RicOcasek + #BenjaminOrr were ambitious but kinda rootless and unfocused. Also some insights into the industry's transition from bloated 1970s arena rock to garish 1980s video rock. Ain't always pretty LOL! 🎵 🎶 📖 👍 😁 #GregHawkes #ElliotEaston #DavidRobinson #ClassicRock #Music #Books #Biographies #PublicLibrary
