I was mildly surprised to find this thread and read it with interest. As an avid buffet fan, who does attend his shows and a relative newcomer to the T.C. I find it a little strange and frankly a bit snobbish to read through some of these posts. I was at the J.B. Chicago show at Wrigley just after Katrina and witnessed a great show, conducted by a talented showman. Nothing more or less. I am a little apalled by the reaction of some..."I would jump over the bar and strangle him"....
Maybe you have bigger issues than what is "Tiki".
Grow up people. Enjoy your hobby, that's all this is. It isn't any more real than the illusion a parrot head, dead head or Nascar fan conforms to. So you have a couple good books B.O.T. and T.M. to give you cultural identity (I own both). I also own a couple great J.B. books, including a couple great children's stories.
I would like to think that the few of you I single out as "haters" on this thread don't speak for the majority. You have spoiled a bit of the fun I was having with this by rearing your ugly voices and trying to label a Buffet fan as some iconoclast... (look it up and please shut up)
