One of the things that drew me to Tiki was my interest in world cultures; their foods, their music, their art. Or maybe my lifelong interest in Tiki drew me to other world cultures, who knows? And yes, I understand that Poly Pop really isn't about Polynesian culture. But the fact is that Poly Pop has used imagery from many primative cultures, including African. I have been reading this thread with interest, as have many other people (8,000 hits) - I haven't chimed in much because I didn't have anything intelligent to add :) Sven, after close to 50 posts by bigbrotiki you seem to have suddenly soured on this topic; is that real or are you just giving John-O a bad time? Could this thread fit in "Beyond Tiki"? Sure, but I don't really think it's out of place in "General TIki" either. Seems that in 2 months and 8,000 hits, it would have be U-Moderated out if it bothered people here. Mike |
