emspace, I can really picture the horror on your face if you walked into a mid century Polynesian
supper club and you hear Sinatra singing the "Girl from Ipanema"

One thing I do agree with you on is "Hawaiiana" was a part of classic Tiki from day one, so I say it is "Tiki"
but I have to fight for that one also.

Your attitude that any music you do not like, particularly Punk, Rockabilly ,Tiki Revival etc. is juvenile crap is so completely closed minded, that its making me want to mainline a weeks supply of "Metamucil"

You don't have to like other styles of music (even if you don't get them) but it doesn't make it crap just because you say so, Hence the"Closed Mind" remark.

Brent & Spike (Members of the very two bands you are attacking) are very much old school Tiki aficionados
And Brents "Music" knowledge would kick your musical knowledge's ass, and he would do it in a such a way,
you would thank him, then buy him a drink.

Your remark about the Hula Girls & Ding Dong Devils doing it just for the money is just plain ignorant
They are lucky if they get a cocktail out of it, the only reason they do what they do, is because they love it
no one is getting rich from these bands, that was just a stupid remark.

And if your constant threat of leaving TC again & again wasn't juvenile, then I don't know what is?
