I understand that even admitting that will invoke hate mail. But I really don't see why Jimmy Buffet is so hated by TC. Is it because he is seen as a sell out? Because he comercializes what you believe is an ideal that is worth more than a beer commercial? If that is the source of the hatred then I do understand. I really do. But then I don't understand why the same people get excited about the new plastic/electric tiki stuff at Spencers, or the latest tiki find at the Dollar Tree, or whatever. All that stuff is great too. I just don't see why one is held higher than the other. Or maybe I'm just a cheese-eating midwesterner who just doesn't get it.
