In the 70s we had a continuing problem on Hollywood Blvd with a bunch of unkempt cultists marching up and down the sidewalks chanting, “Hare Hare, Krishna Mishna.” They were annoying. Some of them shaved their heads, but most had hair down to their knees.
They finally went too far when they decided it was immoral to lock up animals in the zoo. Some of them even thought the animals deserved a hit of LSD. It made some of the ungulates uncontrollable and decidedly nasty.
Or to sum it all up, “Hairy Krishnas and a hoppy gnu’s jeer.”

Some records, it turns out, can be renovated and rejuvenated by rubbing them with Vicks Vapo-Rub.
But, it further turns out, this only works for Baroque classical music, like the music of Vivaldi and others of that era. If you try Vicks Vapo-Rub on other classical recordings, it just ruins them.
So if it ain’t Baroque, don’t Vicks it.
