However, Jimmy Buffet lives in or at least identifies with South Florida, so it is perhaps inevitable that he would incorporate tiki into his theme, particularly given the resurgence in popularity of tiki. Maybe someone can shame him into funding a tiki project, which he, of course, will coopt as his own, but atleast true tiki afficianados will be able to get their cut. PS - His legal team can afford to outlitigate anyone.
