My 2 cents.

Don't hate Buffett because his fans are morons. That just doesn't make sense, even tho' he is partly responsible for the way his fans act due to the "parrothead" image he sells them, but I digress....

His sound seems to be more Carribean influenced than Exotica. I think people relate him with TIKI because his whole schtick is the whole "Island vacation" thing.

People tend to lump anything "island-related" the same category. We, as discerning Tikiphiles know the difference. We are a cult, Buffet has his cult, we have ours. People who belong to neither just look at it as all the same thing. Oh well whatever, nevermind......

I liked Margharitaville when it came out, and the last time I heard it was at the Purple Orchid,oddly enough, and I enjoy it as a pop song.

It ain't Tiki tho'.
