Yes, it leads straight to the Jimmy Buffet fan forum.

However much Frankie fits in with the Retro Orthodoxy, he's less Tiki than a Hamburger in Paradise, and so smug he would shock Sting. So the Buffet comment is meaningless, I think, unless you are suggesting that I am not Orthodox enough in my views for Poly-pop. That, however, is also untrue, since Sinatra music, I know for a fact, got booed from more than one tiki-bar jukebox back in the day. He was overexposed and corporate, and just plain not fun enough.

Dino didn't have his pipes, but at least he was funny! Perhaps I overstate the position, but in the Orthodoxy of Retro he is as overexposed as he was in his peak of publicity.

(Buffet, now that you invoke the unspeakable, is Carrib Pop, anyhow, so he's no more or less "legit" than Poly Pop. Just kinda stupid. Oh, and not Tiki, of course >:-|)
