Boston is a town known for rock’n’roll; J. Geils Band, Aerosmith, Boston, and, of course The Cars. There were few bands bigger in the late 70s and MTV ‘80s. Benjamin Orr was the co-founder, co lead singer and bassist for the group, and possessed a voice made for radio. Veteran music journalist Joe Milliken joins us to talk about his book “Let’s Go!: Benjamin Orr and The Cars. From Max’s Kansas City to The Rat, from MTV to LiveAid, Joe’s book provides insight into Orr’s life, which ended tragically young, as well as shows, sessions, and the dynamics behind a one-of a-kind band.
