Lavapants,

You voiced my one beef with the Lucky Tiki....

The regulars have no taste in music. I think they're the locals, or the leftovers from when it was the Wild Cherry.

But the FIRST THING I do when I arrive is pump about ten bucks into the jukebox. I take over that thing. And I enjoy the hell out of it, even as I make enemies of the crew that would rather play... AUGGHHHH... MeTaLlIcA and WORSE.... SCORPIONS?!?!?

Maybe it's making the everynighters happy to have that music... I can't really fault TikiBob, he has to have a customer base... but in my perfect jukebox, it wouldn't just be all tiki/exotica/retro... but it'd be a better mix than that!!!

I mean, WTF, No ELVIS?!!?

The key is a wide variety, but nothing that outright clashes. There's PLENTY of modern cool hip music that doesn't clash. I'm thinking of Moby, beck, etc.

But whatever the music, Lenard Skynard doesn't FIT A TIKI BAR!
