No. Just  plain old no. It ain't workin'.

Tryin' to cover up yer overly-ripe body odor with patchouli oil is like trying to cover a giant bald spot with Ronco Spray-On Hair and a handful of Sharpie Markers. So stop already.

But there's an upside to being all sweaty and gross. (Actually, there's a few, but we'll stick to the musical one here).

If James Brown's ancient tour bus had had  air-conditioning and better ventilation, his band members may never have invented The Funk and we'd probably be listening to Motorhead on today's show instead of Bootsy Collins.Which would be OK, except  I'm saving the Lemmy tribute until Lemmy actually dies, which I can't believe hasn't happened yet but probably never will.
