I love Sven and need someone like him to keep pulling me back and reminding me of the history of tiki and what it meant to so many,and still does. But as a good parent,you need to let your kid's express themselves, and respect that. Some people look at Tiki as something that needs to be put on a shelf and looked at as a part of histories past. But that is not the case. Example...Sam's seafood (now Kona) I seen 3 to 4 bands step up and say they would play for free at the closing party at Sam's but not offer to play for free to help them stay open. These places close because people look at the old history,not the new history. People respect things when they are gone not right in front of them...These places are business and business needs to sell what people want. I have never been to Tiki Oasis but I know Derek's art is what drew me to it in the first place. If you had a picture of a witco carving on a poster and said "the history of tiki weekend", I might just wanna pass on that....just speaking for myself,DIG? New tiki or Pop Tiki helps people look at Traditional Tiki too....One could not live with the other these day's. I like that everyone has an opinion,even if that opinions wrong....Just Joking But if you took all of the drinks,fun,loud colors and escapism away it would just be a couple of people sitting around and talking about the past. Buy what you like, and support the artist you care about,but just remember what we do today will be history tomorrow,DIG?
