GROG miss Tiki-Kate [ Edited by: GROG 2011-09-08 23:28 ] I would not characterize my response as "going ape shit", because that implies that this thread ilicits an emotional reaction from me. It does not. I merely pointed out why I do not consider Burning Man to be a tiki subject, and then explained why. As to what I consider "non tiki" acts being part of tiki, I believe I did state that I like a lot of them. I also like classical music, though of course, it's not tiki. Can a person not attempt to explain what tiki is, without other people getting all excited? Sven Kirsten, after all, did just that in one simple book: laid it all out for us. And nowhere in that book does it say that burning man or other aspects of hippy culture are tiki. As I have said numerous times, Hippy culture KILLED tiki. Absolutely. Definitively. Starting in 1964, rock music and the long haired youth culture started to dominate, and it still does, to this day. I want no part of it. Isn't that ok, Grog?
