'He had a huge influence on me accepting that pop music is fucking cool.” - Kesha tells us about Cars singer Ric Ocasek's influence on her own music
When she was around 16, Kesha got to work with Ocasek, visiting his home. “It was the first time I’d ever been in someone’s house in New York City that had an elevator,” she says. “I was like, ‘Damn, this guy’s a pimp.’ And I remember his beautiful wife. H
e was obviously, like, a strange genius. But he was the nicest guy ever. And every idea was worth exploring. He didn’t make me feel stupid or young or inexperienced for one second. Everything was worth exploring with him and I loved that all creativity was good.
Kesha and her mom, Pebe Sebert, worked on an early version of a song that ended up on her debut album, “Stephen,” with Ocasek, along with a unreleased track called “Party Jam.” She’d love to honor Ocasek by putting the latter song out, but she doesn’t have the recording handy. “I don’t know where the fuck it would be,” she says. “I’m going to look for it now.”
