The conflicted feelings are part of the charm. Sounds like the friend is still "best."

Dan tells me that Orr was also the singer, which I had not known. I really liked/like his voice and delivery.

It is interesting that the model seen in the 'Drive' Cars clip married Rick and stayed with him for decades (though not till the very end).

Per IMDB, Ocasek had 3 wives over the decades (and 2 kids with each) with more or less no gaps between models - the last one was the hot Czech import. I see Paulina P. was born in 1965, which is roughly your age ... ex-g/f of yours, Sergey? "She left me for a musician", it's a story as old as humanity, my friend...

James Robertson, a federal judge who drew national attention for his ruling on the rights of a foreign detainee in U.S. custody at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and his resignation from a judicial surveillance panel to protest warrantless federal wiretapping, died Sept. 7 at a hospital in Washington. He was 81.
