A Sad Day for Tikis Everywhere! - General Tiki

The tiki theme is something his expert marketing team came up with for this tour. And it's a smart business move, considering the current popular trend towards anything remotely tropical. The average person does not see the difference between Buffet's Carribean roots lifestyle and the completely different quasi-polynesian tiki attitude created for our parent's leisure time in the 1940s and '50s. Neither one is superior to the other, since they represent different mind sets. Let it go. This is not a war between lifestyles. In a way, the laid back, live for tonight, let's see what tomorrow's tide brings in attitude about life, has elements evident in both genres.
