I always wondered about this as I would love to hear the whole unedited version. ~ Joe and Donna. Still, he is attentive and involved, and chimes in when he wants to, and from time to time he flashes that gorgeous smile. I was 6-years-old and I don’t know WHY I was at that concert, but I was transfixed by his flowing blonde locks. When you were around him, you couldn’t help but feel good.”. I have yet to watch this video. The footage was released on October 24, 2000, exactly three weeks after Ben’s death, by Rhino Home Video. We are continuing to flesh out more accurate details, and will also be working with our publisher to see what corrections can be made to the book moving forward. The Rock Hall was an appropriate locale for the tribute, as Orr, who was fifty-three when he passed away, started his musical career in Cleveland in the mid-Sixties, when he played with the Grasshoppers. Ben was what I call a feel-good person. Send us a tip using our anonymous form. Other speakers included Rock & Roll Hall of Fame programming director David Spero, who recalled seeing the Grasshoppers play at his bar mitzvah; Tom Hambridge, who played in the Ben Orr Band; Cars drummer David Robinson; Orr’s niece Lisa Danowski; and representatives from the National Pancreas Foundation. I hope you can embrace it, too. The group will now turn a planned March of Dimes benefit concert scheduled for this Friday at the Tabernacle in Atlanta into a memorial performance. He went on doing what he loved until he no longer could and I feel he did this interview to be with his former band brothers and also to leave something behind for all his fans and I feel if he had the strength to do this, well, then I have no excuse but to honour Benjamin by watching this and I did. As I have spent this year learning everything possible about Ben and The Cars and Ben after the cars, I feel like I have all the information I need to know the details of what they reminisced about. The interview took place at Turner Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, where Ben was living with Julie Snider. This reunion was the first time the members of The Cars had assembled in over a decade. We want to hear from you! Thank you Donna for this post. But I would like to say to fans , please watch the interview if you can ❤

MTV AND ALL RELATED TITLES AND LOGOS ARE TRADEMARKS OF VIACOM INTERNATIONAL INC, UPDATE: The Cars' Benjamin Orr Dead At 53. I mentioned that this interview was included on The Cars Live.

The memorial commenced with an introduction by Michael Stanley, who recalled the various occasions on which he had met Orr and described him as a “cross between Elvis and Paul McCartney.” Throughout the course of the evening, Stanley would introduce speakers with a certain levity (he made numerous jokes about their deteriorating eyesight) and continually expressed his admiration for Orr.

“Ben, I wanted you to stay the night but that wasn’t God’s plan.”. From what I understand, Ben flew right from this interview in Atlanta, Georgia, to Palmer, Alaska, for his last performance, playing the August 25th show at the Alaska State Fair. Thanks for sharing this, Donna. “Ben was the real rock star of the band,” Hawke said. Looking forward to another year of joy and happiness (along with heartache and unrelenting angst) spending time, and very likely learning more. His Big People bandmates, Jeff Carlisi (formerly of .38 Special), Derek St. Holmes (Ted Nugent), and Rob Wilson, along with Orr's manager, Billy Johnson, and Orr's fiancee, Julie Snider, were with him in Atlanta when he died. Steve Dudas, who worked with the Grasshoppers as a roadie, remembered Orr as “extremely talented, often funny, sometimes serious, and introspective. Facebook page and published it on January 3, 2020. You are so right , his incredible spirit shines through and I find he is so beautiful as his courage is such an incredible thing to witness. . Actually that whole comment that he made about that subject said a lot about him. I think that is a terrific idea for those that can’t get past the visual change in Ben. That the night before they all went out to dinner and young Ben who was a month away from his 5th birthday was present. I really wanted to know more but it is what it is and I will take what I can get. David and Greg add their funny quips and Ben is largely silent, just like the old days. Benjamin Orzechowski (known as Ben Orr) played in numerous bands before finding fame in the late Seventies and Eighties with the Cars. on a new DVD documentary, "The Cars Live," scheduled for release through Rhino Home Video on November 1. They laugh over cover songs they used to do and share what they are most proud of when they look back at their time with The Cars. But these songs are Ben’s last gift to the Cars era. Members of that band, as well as many others, were present at the private event, which was held in the Hall’s small fourth-floor theater.

That DVD is the official release of  The Cars’ performance for Germany’s pop music show, Musikladen (recorded in November of 1978 and aired in 1979). ©2020 Viacom International Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Jeff Carlisi, formerly .38 Special, played with Orr in a band called Big People, who toured until Orr became too sick to go on the road. "Ben kept rocking," bandmate Carlisi told MTV News.

When I see photos of this interview my mind always goes back to what Joe tells in the book. He was 53. He desired peace, and he desired to give pleasure to his fans. Tributes to Benjamin Orr and cards to friends and family will be accepted by Crossover Entertainment Group, 2020 Howell Mill Road, Suite C, Atlanta, GA, 30318.
