That time I asked Elliot Easton if he felt like a mercenary playing John Fogerty's licks in Creedence Clearwater Revisited When I got the chance to interview former Cars guitarist Elliot Easton I asked him if he felt like a mercenary playing John Fogerty's licks.

30 years ago today I interviewed guitarist #ElliotEaston from #TheCars while he was playing with the #CCR spinoff #CreedenceClearwaterRevisited

Was it mean of me to ask if he felt like a mercenary playing #JohnFogerty's licks?

Ric Ocasek wasn’t the only Cars member to earn US #OneHitWonder honors… Bassist/co-vocalist Benjamin Orr’s synth-pop oriented “Stay The Night” spent 6 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40 in 1987, peaking at #24. #BenjaminOrr #TheCars #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

Happy 82nd birthday to #RicOcasek. The frontman and rhythm guitarist for #TheCars. Him and Keith Richards have one thing in common, they both look like walking corpses

This Week On The Charts 3/24/1979: The Cars peak at number 18 on the Album Chart with their self-titled debut album. #TheCars #RockHonorRoll #NewWave
