Without dirt, we wouldn't have any rain

Which is why it seems fitting to conclude this tribute with a wonderfully weird outtake from Yahoo Entertainment’s 1997 Ocasek interview, as seen below. The man’s music and singularly snarky wit will be missed.

YAHOO: Well, I guess that's all the questions I've got. Is there anything you want me to mention?

OCASEK: Hmmm. Without dirt, there wouldn't be any rain. People hate dirt, but without dirt, we would never have rain. Dirt makes rain; it's called hydroscopic dirt. The dirt that floats up into the atmosphere actually causes the clouds to rain. So without dirt, we wouldn't have any rain.

YAHOO: I learn something new every day.

OCASEK: Well, I usually have nothing to say at the end of an interview. That was the most obscure thing I could think of.
