Something to Grab For - Ric Ocasek

From what I've heard of Ric Ocasek's solo career (first three albums; i.e. about half of his stuff), it sort of exposes the parts of his songwriting that the Cars' virtuousity and the stellar production they always had covered up.  But the songs are always really good a affecting the atmosphere and imagery that Ocasek was about, and there are some real gems.  The best was the first single, Something to Grab For, off Beatitude (1982).
