Fred McLeod, long time Detroit and then Cleveland sports broadcaster, dead at 67 of a heart attack. Growing up with him in Detroit for many years when he was calling Pistons games, I'm in shock.

Cars vocalist Ric Ocasek, at 75.
Ric's passing is sad to hear. The Cars are one of my favorite bands; they were introduced to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year.

RIP Ric Ocasek.  :cry:

I predict some radio stations might be doing tributes to acts with two of game shows’ most favorite things: Money (as in Eddie Money) and Cars (Ric Ocasek).

RIP to both.

Brian
