I saw Todd Rundgren a few years back when he was going through his "rapper" phase and was very turned off by his attitude on stage. He had this air of, "bow to me" about him. He also didn't play any of his classics (not even "Hello It's Me"). Just rapped for about an hour in his Sinbad suit. He also required all beverages in the bar be served in plastic cups because we wanted to go barefoot on stage?!?!?! Our waitress went on and on about his demands and how rude he was to everyone that worked there. It was a shame because I was really looking forward to hearing him live. Now, combine that with "The Cars" less than interesting live shows and I don't think you have a winner as far as their tour goes. I could see the music being taken to the next level, but don't call it "The Cars". I love Geeky's idea of "Autopia".

I also agree with those who said that it's not the same without Ben. He had that "rock" voice and could also do the mellow stuff beautifully.
