[kj] ot: Eddie and the Hot Rods

[Christof hamille]

You hit it on the head.  They are okay but definately jumped on the 
bandwagon once punk became "fashionable".  But I guess to be fair a ton of 
bands from the 70s did that.  Punk was so new and fresh that these bands 
would witness this and just get engulfed by it.  The Damned sort of did it.  
IN the beginning of Final Damnation they talk to everybody about how it got 
started.  Brian James was referring to Catain and Scabies meeting up with 
one another and when Rat came back to their flat (James and Scabies lived 
together at the time) he had this long long hair and he cut it all off as a 
result of punk and his meet up.  And James said something to the effect of 
"I have to get to be part of this".  Meaning that it had such an impact.

Now that I think about it Sensible may have lived with James.  Either way 
there you go
