He was a particularly big deal around Boston, for a long time. He didn't grow up here, but the Cars pretty much got started around here, and local radio stations gave them their first exposure to the masses, like me. He was marred to Paulina Porizkova, whom you guys might remember I went into ecstasy over, right here on Trash Epics, not too long ago. Ric and Paulina supposedly lived together somewhere by the sea, a few towns south of Boston, for a long time... Cohasset or Duxbury, I think. I interacted with Paulina on Twitter once, and it was the most savagely intense sexual experience I have ever had in my life. Well, no, but, she was nice enough to respond to some stupid thing I tweeted to her. ..... anyway, Ric Ocasek and she used to be spotted now and then walking around Boston, and it was always a big deal to anyone who saw them. I guess they were our Tom Brady and Gisele, before Tom and Gisele were around..... anyway, who cares about Boston stuff, sorry to ramble. His songs were amazing, and he addded a lot to my life. I am rreally sad that he is gone. God damn it. RIP Ric Ocasek.
