    My all time favorite Eddy Money moment was when he went on Howard Stern and Howard got him to do a parody of his own song "two tickets to paradise" except the parody was "two fingers to paradise". Lmao

    Alas, the Cars are no more.

    Ric Ocasek, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame singer whose popular new-wave band, The Cars, helped define the sound of rock music in the late 1970s and '80s, was found dead in his New York City apartment on Sunday, a police spokesman told Fox News. Ocasek was 75.

    His estranged wife, supermodel Paulina Porizkova, found him unresponsive Sunday afternoon at his home in Manhattan's Gramercy Park neighborhood, sources told the New York Post, adding that he apparently died of natural causes.

    Cokie passed! I don't know the details yet, but how sad. She's definitely older than I am, but feels like a contemporary. Ah, man I'll miss her.:(

    "
    Cokie Roberts, the veteran journalist, political commentator and author, died, ABC News announced Tuesday morning, citing her family. She was 75.

    "We will miss Cokie beyond measure, both for her contributions and for her love and kindness," her family said in a statement.

    This is a developing story. Check back for updates."

    Oh, my goodness. I used to enjoy her commentary. How sad.

    *I just heard on the news that she died from complications from breast cancer.

    Ok I just freaked out thinking I didn't even know a lot of those had died. Then I got it and understood. Maybe I should actually click on the article.

    Very surreal that he happened to pass on the day that El Camino was released. He did a fantastic job in that film.

    I haven’t seen it, but have seen him in other things. He was an awesome actor.
