ウィーザー投稿の訳：
ウィーザー・ファミリーは皆、日曜日に亡くなった友人であり、信頼のおける相談相手であるリック・オケイセックが亡くなったことに悲しみに打ちひしがれています。

リックは私たちにとってとても意味を持っていました。彼は3つの重要なウィーザーのアルバム、『Blue』、『Green』、2014年の『Everything ...』をプロデュースし、僕たちみんなに音楽、レコーディング、ソングクラフトについて多くのことを教えてくれました。しかしもっと重要なことは、彼は偉大な力を持つ尊敬される立場にありながら、とても謙虚であり、業界で最も優しい心を持つことができることを教えてくれました。

リックは僕たちにとても親切で、僕たちが彼と一緒に働いていた30年間、仕事的にも個人的にも、物事をためらったり変えたりしませんでした。あなたが彼の友達であったとき、それは一生のものであり、彼はいつも彼の時間と気遣いを惜しまなかった。

彼は、現在および過去の7人のウィーザー・メンバー全員と仕事をした唯一のプロデューサーであり、7人全員が彼と一緒に仕事をしたり、一緒に過ごしたりするのが大好きだった。今ウィーザーの心に大きな穴が開いています。僕たちは彼を永遠に恋しく思い、僕たちが彼と一緒に仕事をして過ごした貴重な時間を永遠に大切にします。安らかに眠ってください。僕たちはあなたを愛しています

Ahh man, say it ain’t so. I loved Ric Ocasek. What an interesting, smart, kind, funny man who made incredible records. I loved those Cars albums when I was a teenager. Perfect pop songs with those wicked elliot… https://t.co/SjtRU8OaJO

#ripricocasek We had a lot of fun making the album #FireballZone. This was one of my fav songs #TouchdownEasy. Though it was the 90's we'd not gotten the memo. It's super 80's but cool. https://t.co/ptSdrIHqBA pic.twitter.com/vGL1odM0TL

“Who is gonna drive us home now? Ric was the writer behind one of our favorite American bands of all time. We were truly saddened to hear of his passing. “ - JT

#RickOcasek, leader of #TheCars, has died. Unbelievable. Their sound was the sound of a whole decade; biting, mischievous, lighthearted, sardonic and fun...wish we were all that young again...RIP until vinyl returns...xoxo...

I remember listening to the first Cars record when I was ten with my mom and it was so much fun. Forty one years later it sounds like it was recorded yesterday. It created a new path and inspired so many great bands. He was a legend who brought us all a ton of joy. https://t.co/rbxzVPqKM2

RIP #RicOcasek Cars were the first band I saw that qualified as new wave -- their synths and leathers were too pricey for pure punk. Long gone, of course, and now Ric too, a sweet guy. Suicide was one of several outside bands he produced: https://t.co/9Xlu2kQFRR

Rest In Peace Ric Ocasek - This song has always been one of my favorites. The Cars - Drive https://t.co/F3yKBpSa0l

Lost & loserly, I visited Jane Curtain in NYC in 1989 & she made me lunch. I was wrenched out of my myopic bullshit by the sight of Ric Ocasek over the back fence. Ric & P were her neighbors. RIP Ric - & RIP Benjamin. Moving in Stereo & All Mixed Up https://t.co/ax5xRmkAGD

Oh man, Ric Ocasek.

The first Cars album is literally perfect; there might not be a better debut ever. The rest of the catalog is untouchable.

Ric Ocasek was the architect. Nobody could combine pop hits with straight up weirdness like he could.

What a body of work, what a cool guy. Rest in power.

I’m stunned and saddened by the loss of Ric Ocasek - he was a visionary who affected the lives and hearts of everyone who listened to music in the 80s. God Speed, Ric! Keep Moving in Stereo!

— RainnWilson (@rainnwilson) September 16, 2019

The Bad Brains blew my mind but when I turned their album Rock For Light over to the back & found out Ric Ocasek of The Cars produced it, my world was set on fire. After that I didn’t give a fuck about “guilty pleasures” or what other people thought was cool.

Ric Ocasek... I’m so sad. The Cars are a big part of my musical love affair. He was amazing and will be missed. The music of The Cars will inspire people and move people forever. My prayers go to his family friends and all the fans.

In the late 70’s, in between my obsessions for Kiss, the Ramones, The Clash & The Sex Pistols, I also was a big fan of The Pretenders, the B-52’s, the Police, Devo & The Cars...the 1st two albums are classics from start to finish.

Rest In Peace #RicOcasek. THANKYOU for all those great Cars jams. First time I heard the Cars was at a Wisconsin rec center on the jukebox. Some older kids were really getting DOWN to the music and I’m just watching and listening, taking it all in thinking, DAMN that band is special.
