It often seems though that people are "lobbying" for "their" version of Tiki culture, trying to negotiate an adaption of MY definition, and that if I do not adjust it accordingly, I am accused of having a "narrow" definition. But that is the nature of defining something, it includes some things and excludes others. When peoples pet-faves are excluded, it is denounced as narrow-mindedness. But enough of that. Ben and Mad Dog, I'd be glad to draw up a chart of the "Evolution of the Tiki Revival". It would begin like this: 1980 s TIKI EXTINCTION ....or how would one describe a vacuum? When the NAME and the OBJECT Tiki simply did not exist, and it had been completely forgotten, as if it never had been there. Mad Dog, that is when the Devolution was complete, so it cannot be reversed. However, one can fight against the Tiki Revival Devolution now! :)
