About this listen
Staci welcomes author Peter Aaron, the author of the new book "Moving in Stereo," for a deep dive into the life and legacy of Ric Ocasek—enigmatic frontman, visionary songwriter, and the cool center of The Cars’ sleek, synth-driven storm. From Ric’s early partnership with Ben Orr and the bands that fizzled before The Cars finally clicked, to the creative tensions that came with skyrocketing success, Peter—himself a seasoned music journalist and frontman of the punk band Chrome Cranks—brings fresh insight into the man behind the shades. We’ll explore the research that shaped this biography, the personal relationships that defined Ric’s world, and the meaning behind the book’s title. Buckle up for the revelations, the resonance, and yes, the rock and roll nightmares that haunted and fueled one of rock’s most enduring architects.
