I-95 Drive Home Mystery Artist [VIDEO]

Tonight’s mystery artist thinks his fans see him fans as being a little cold and aloof. Can you guess who our chilly willie might be??

Mikal Gilmore of the Rolling Stone Magazine was interviewing Ric Ocasek of the Cars “ back in 1980 when he confessed to Ric that he had been somewhat watching him.  Mikal wrote: I tell Ocasek that while the Cars were recording the final tracks for Panorama in Hollywood, I used to see him shopping late at night at a neighborhood supermarket. On each of those occasions, it was evident that other shoppers also recognized him; towering well over six feet and outfitted in futurist black-and-white garb, Ocasek's hardly the sort to go unrecognized. But I never saw anyone approach him for an autograph, or even so much as offer him a smile. In fact, people seemed downright leery of him.”

Ric’s Reply:  "That's because I was cold-looking, right?" Ocasek asks with a disarming smile. "I probably would have said hello to anybody, but I know what you mean. People tell me all the time that I look forbidding or aloof. That doesn't bother me much—I am fairly private, withdrawn and...distant, I guess. But, um, I think that's okay."
