The tributes have been rolling in since the passing of The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek and blink-182's Mark Hoppus revealed in a post that he once covered "Just What I Needed" for a TV show that never ended up airing.

In the post he said, "A couple years ago, I was asked to record a creepy cover of 'Just What I Needed' for a TV show. They wanted moody and strange, dark and drony, with space for dialogue to go over it. I went into the studio with my friend James Ingram and this is what we came up with."

Jade was born and raised in Detroit Rock City and grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who, Tom Petty, etc. In high school she tried multiple different styles from cheerleader to goth but couldn’t do gymnastics and couldn’t get her eyeliner dark enough. She settled on jeans and a t-shirt, playing sports and making normal situations overly awkward. When she’s not making bad jokes on the radio you can find her shanking golf balls into the woods on the golf course and drinking beers at the bar. She has a strict two shot limit when it comes to tequila. Jade enjoys writing and talking about everything happening in Detroit Rock City, our Detroit sports teams, golf, and her fear of robots.
