This live stream music history podcast, reviews The Cars debut album and comes up with 10 questions for Ric Ocasek as a tribute to this amazing artist.  Two comedians use the socratic method and improv to develop questions for Ric Ocasek while live streaming on October 26th, 2019.  Stephen Alloy, a lawyer by profession, and my self, a retired veteran, met while learning improv and now perform improv in the Omaha area.  We both love The Cars, and wanted to learn more about Ric Ocasek.  We listened to interviews, podcasts & documentaries and read anything we could find about Ric Ocasek.   In the live stream we have a broad discussion!  Who had a similar sound to The Cars, how did Ric Ocasek get along with producer Roy Thomas Baker, what would the 1978 Ocasek think of Weezer, who did Ocasek look up to in the song writing world, how much did Ocasek influence the bands he produced, what is up with 3.44,  would the The Cars have produced more if the Hindenburg disaster had not occurred, what attracted Ocasek to Orr, who is the Ric Ocasek of today, what fundamentally motivated Ocasek, and many other steams of thought!
