Yup, Boyd Rice is part of that first generation of Tiki revivalists during the 1980s, along with Jeffrey Vallance and other S.F. underground artists. Boyd met and turned my friend and BOT cover artist Moritz R on to Martin Denny and Tiki, and in the early 90s he did a fine M. Denny interview for the English zine UNGAWA!

He always was into extremes (from what I heard), so he got a little carried away with his conspiracy theories and Nazi activities and got into trouble with the FBI, and he was not heard from for some time.

His piece in "Taboo-Art of Tiki" is great because it comes from the personal experience angle.
