	Benjamin Orr
		To all fans of the Cars and visitors to Heartbeat City, it is with great regret that I inform you that Benjamin Orr passed away on Tuesday, October 3, 2000.
		I had the pleasure of meeting Ben in 1997 on two occasions: first in Fairfax,Virginia, and then in the Cars hometown of Boston with his last band, ORR, both at the invitation of John Kalishes, a close friend of Ben, and at the time, a member of the band.
		Ben was as friendly and sweet as you can imagine, and my only regret is that this took place before Alan and I met, and we never got the chance to see Ben in concert together.

	Rarebird's Cars solo album reviews
		In the early 1970's, the two future Cars lead singers, Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr, were members of a Boston folk trio called Milkwood.
		Benjamin Orr, who died in 2000 of pancreatic cancer, was the bassist and sometime lead singer of the Cars.
		Orr's mellow pop variation contains many of the usual ingredients of the Cars sound (including Elliot Easton's guitar playing on some tracks) without Ric Ocasek's tension and quirkiness.

		Like their contemporaries, the band cited such progressive '70s acts as Bowie, Lou Reed and Roxy Music as influences, acts for whom the visual side of the presentation was nearly as important as the musical side.
		In April 2000 he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, yet continued to perform in concerts with his all-star band, Big People, at summer music festivals and state fairs.
		His final scheduled appearance was on September 27, 2000, and he died at his home in Atlanta, on Tuesday night, October 3, 2000 at the age of 53, surrounded by his fiancee and Big People band members.
