Jimmy's actually a fan of Martin Denny, who played with him in Hawaii...

Parrotheads are exactly the same way. That is, there is this sense of entitlement that their music and their scene (both Deadheads and Parrotheads) applies to anything and eveything, whether that be the case or not.

You're borrowing Lucas's brush, aren't you Vince?

There were "tiki" bars long after tiki died its first death, and they weren't all Buffett-related, but most didn't fit the narrow, elitist "tiki" definition. Most people don't get the difference. Ranting about it and getting into a lather isn't going to make any difference. Doing so is just mental masturbation. It may feel good at the time, but it doesn't do anything but get messy.
