Aloha!

I wanted to say I really do enjoy reading these debates about JB, and wanted to contribute my 2 cents also.

First, I am guilty of being quite deep into Tiki and Exotica, but still liking Buffett, with a major exception. I used to follow the beliefs of the Church of Buffett - Orthodox, who are group of Buffett fans who clearly state that every album after and including Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude basically suck and do not represent the true Buffett experience. My favorite quote from them: "if you're dumb enough to like "Math Sux" we see no point in hitting you with a 2x4 and killing what few neurons are still gasping for oxygen." Simply put, Buffett hasn't made a good album since the late 70s.

However, to sway me in the other direction, we did just find out that we are losing are current Thor Stor space in Waikiki to the new Margaritaville being built. That is a clear sign that Buffett has no regard for tiki - closing the only thing in Waikiki that is trying to bring back the tiki culture and old Hawaii.

Don't worry, though, we found a bigger, better spot...
