A bit late to the game here, but good post Sven. It really brought into focus how short a timeframe Tiki was really "chic" even though the two decades prior were going through a Polynesian love-fest. But I have to say that I was born in 1965 and can think of no better reason to name it a "pivotal year". :wink:

Just because I want to, I'll toss in a couple of photos from my Dad (Air Force pilot) in Hawaii in 1965...

You've gotta love the second photo with torches in the foreground and a battleship in the background.
