My reason for trying to create an authentic tiki bar in my home is simple. I wasn't alive during the tiki heyday and I live about 1,000 miles from a good tiki bar - I'm recreating a place I've never physically been but have visited hundreds of times when listenening to Martin Denny,Les Baxter, etc.
If I want to listen to Jimmy Buffet in a faux tropical setting all I need to do is hop in the car, drive 20 miles to Baltimore and take my choice of unhospitable, drunken frat boy bars. No thanks...
If you want to be reminded of an exotic tiki paradise listen to exotica - if you want to recreate a night vomiting margaritas in a urine soaked men's room in Key West or losing consciousness in a grotesque port-a-pot in the parking lot of some concert venue - then crank up good ole' Jimmy!! :P
Just my opinion..."
Truer words were never spoken. John Tiki just crystalized for me what is so f-in wrong with Buffet, buff-divers, and buffeteers look at 40!
I hate him, them, those, that,and I want to FORCE them to listen to Tiki music!!!!
