That is very well said and written.
This board, and the Tiki Culture it represents is pretty much spelled out. I think people who come on this board and want to talk Jimmy Buffet or Neon tiki wall hangings are missing out on what this genre is about. There are other websites they can go to find like minded people who can talk about Parrot Heads and Party City decor, AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, it's just not here.
dewey-surf, you obviously don't know Jimmy Buffet. Jimmy is a friend of mine. I played with him for many years and I can tell you, he is more tiki then most tiki's. Obviously, he has a commercial image and that image is predicated on what sells. But as far as tiki goes in his private life, I can tell you he gets it. I think it's important to separate the man from the myth, or in Jimmy's case, the PR. AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. OR JIMMY.

In other words, Jimmy is a sellout?
