Music is always playing in my brain… Even when I’m dreaming… Woke up with this playing in my mind this morning… Thank you Ric, Ben and the rest of The Cars for adding so much to the lives of so many. Miss you. ❤️👍

The Cars perfomed this song at Mountain Aire 84. I was on the rail, in front of Ric.They took a quick break between songs. They rolled out a small synthisizer to Rics mic. He came and hit a key... "jimmy..jimmy" I went nuts. Ric looked right at me. Most" Fans" had no idea whaT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. gREAT MEMORIES

Ric's debut solo album (Beatitude) was the first cassette I ever purchased and this song, the opening track, still haunts me to this day. I'm saddened to hear of his passing, but I'm grateful for the years of excellent music Ric gave us. Thank you for everything.

They want to talk to you...about something they found in your drawer...under a Hustler magazine. They want to cool you out...and ignore your problems. This is exactly how I felt in 1985. As cheesy as this song is, Back when 'i needed it, this song was the perfect soundtrack to my shitty teenage-kicked-out-of-moms-house-living-with dad life. "You're pretending nothing's wrong". Indeed.

Some reason this song has been on my mind. So glad I got to see the Cars in 1979 in San Diego when I was stationed there in the marines. I was so happy to see my two fellow Ohio guys. Was such a great show. To think we have lost Ric And Ben that makes me sad. I so miss those days. I am glad I was a young adult 20 to 29 during the 80s.

Listening to this song brings back a flood of memories of my freshman year in college, all of them great. The first taste of independence; studying in the library on weeknights because I figured out that I wasn't as smart as I thought I was; hanging at the student union or trying to figure out which sorority house to visit on the weekends proving that I was as dumb as I really was; as I said, great memories. Would I trade what I have to day to go back? Certainly not, but it's fun to remember.

This song is far more prophetic today, I think, than it was when it came out. In a post-9/11 world, with the middle class disapppearing, few prospects for good jobs, little to look forward to even with an education, and a wealthy president who says, "We're all in this together" and then flies off in his private jet leaving a landscape of foreclosures behind him... nobody's getting off. It CAN happen here. Maybe it has to.

Nikita Kade Another wannabe political intellect posturing in grandstand style here on a music based network his opinions on life and politics when this should be only about rock n roll. And according to this genius who obviously dismisses George W. Bush Presidential policies as the real culprit behind forclosures, and building more wealth for the already rich, and putting the Mideast in a terrible tailspin, has no musical smarts to relay on this 80's tune or band. Your kind HAS happened here; and were all paying for it today......

Well, okay, I admit it's a boring video. I would rather have seen more of Ric himself. Anybody out there still watch "The Cars Live 1984-85" on VHS? The TV sets onstage show a bit of this video, the scene where Ric appears at the end of the line outside the club.
