First new Cars song in 24 years

The Cars have released "Blue Tip," its first new song in 24 years. The video is entertaining but I was hoping for something a bit more evolved songwise after a quarter century. But can't say I'm surprised. The band never really evolved after album No. 3, and unfortunately released its best song, "Just What I Needed," right out of the gate.

A new album is scheduled for release May 10. Let's hope the songs get better.

I'll close with this excellent Live Aid performance of "Just What I Needed," featuring engaging lead vocals from the late Benjamin Orr.
