Barrie Masters, often taken (wrongly) to be the mysterious “Eddie” of [Eddie and the Hot Rods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_and_the_Hot_Rods), has died at 63.

The [BBC article](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-49906646) lists as peers The Feelgoods and the Kilburns; a sad reminder that we have lost Lee Brilleaux and Ian Dury as well. I feel old and sad today.

Yeah, the Hot Rods were a fun night out. They were always punk in my book.
