186: Rat Scabies (The Damned)

Rat Scabies and his influential band, The Damned, were integral
members of the fledgling UK punk community. Rat's controlled
bombast earned him comparisons to Keith Moon and Mitch Mitchell.
He and Joe met in Soho to discuss: Rat's post-war childhood in
the outskirts of London; his father's job as an underground soft
porn merchant; his theory on geography's key role in bands; the
inner workings of The Damned; and his quest for The Holy Grail.
