RIP Ric Ocasek

Well that sucks. Wikipedia can't decide if he was 70 or 75.

This is 75: Richard Theodore Otcasek (March 23, 1944 – September 15, 2019)

But: Ocasek died in New York City on September 15, 2019; he was 70 years old.

And the headline cited is this, which says 75.

Ric Ocasek, Lead Singer of The Cars, Dead in New York at 75

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Ric Ocasek, lead singer of the rock band The Cars, died Sunday in New York at age 75.

I'm surprised he was 75 actually.

I wouldn't be surprised if this had something to do with it:

"He was also known for his long-running marriage to the Czech supermodel Paulina Porizkova. She announced their separation in 2018 after 28 years of marriage."

I wonder if at some point the record execs dialed his age back so he would appear more trendy. It's stupid and I think the kids really don't care. I never did. But it happens. I think that Mick Mars also has a questionable age thing going as he was like a decade older than the rest of Motley Crue.

Anyway, I remember When Ocasek married Paulina and everyone thought she was too pretty for him. Friends Of P by The Rentals is about her. Ocasek produced the first Weezer album and members of Weezer were in The Rentals.

His work was featured prominently in various graduate projects at the MIT Media Center. Let's pray for the frontman of the Talking Heads, who also fits the profile.

RIP Aron Eisenberg, who played "Nog" on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” actor Aron Eisenberg, who played Nog in the 1990s series, died Saturday. He was 50.

His character Nog, who appeared for all seven seasons, was a member of the alien race Ferengi, and joined Starfleet after a recommendation from Captain Sisko. Eisenberg returned for a guest spot on “Star Trek: Voyager” and appeared in the “Star Trek” fan film “Renegades.”

His widow Malissa Longo wrote on Facebook, “He was so driven to put the best he had into whatever work was put before him. He lived his life with such vigor and passion.”

Eisenberg, who was born with one kidney, had received two kidney transplants. The kidney trouble had stunted his growth, and he stood at 5 feet tall.

He had been married for nine months. “We didn’t officially announce that we had eloped on December 28th, 2018. We were hoping to have a big shindig in celebration of our nuptials, but had to wait to save up the money,” Longo wrote, “While, our marriage, on paper, was a short one. Our hearts had been married for far longer. I will be forever thankful for the time we had to love each other. Five years felt like a lifetime, in the best possible ways.”

Eisenberg also appeared in the TV movie “Amityville: The Evil Escapes” and features “The Liars’ Club,” “Beverly Hills Brats,” “Playroom” and “The Horror Show.” He guested on TV shows including “The Wonder Years,” “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose” and “Tales from the Crypt.”

In addition to Longo, he is survived by two sons.

I was surprised to learn that Aron Eisenberg was already 50 years old but he had kidney issues which stunted his growth, sort of like Gary Coleman I suppose.

RIP Jacques Chirac.

Whether or not he was shot in the face with a rubber bullet, we don't know.
