A.) Polynesian pop will never be as popular as it was in the 50s and 60s, the social and economic factors that all came together back than will not repeat.

B.) To want to sit on one's little esoteric Tiki "In-ness" and not want to share is paranoid posessiveness that is most uncreative and denying life. Things rise and fall, the good with the bad, let's enjoy the good and the rise, bitch at the bad, and philosophize over the fall.

C.) I for one am always thrilled to the max when one of my peers manages to be successful, both in acclaim AND financially, purely by his talent and by doing what he loves to do, without any shady maneuvering or nepotism or big money behind him. Do you realize how RARE that is nowadays? That is something that we ALL dream about, and very few are fortunate to be granted.
