What does being in the Cars mean to you?

Guitarist Elliot Easton takes a long pause and thinks hard before he responds. Then, slowly, deliberately, he says, “It means being part of an unusual collective chemistry that results in some very interesting sounds. And, it means being part of a very creative process which isn’t always fun, but is always rewarding.” The answer satisfies Easton, as he gets ready to leave his Manhattan hotel room and head for the Meadowlands Arena in New Jersey, where he will pick up his guitars and offer a tantalizing array of leads to the eager audience.
