As fine an example of modern idolatry as there ever was!

He also has some amazing TIKI tattoos on his arms. He lives in San Diego with his stunningly beautiful Burlesque Dancing wife, Mimi Le Meaux. (www.mimilemeaux.com). I have some cool pics of their bar but I have to get their permission before I post them.

Find-a-grave.com, what a classic. These .com names are beginning to rival the American product name creations favored by appliance and car manufacturers in the 50s and 60s...Tectum Pan-L-Art etc. What makes you think that such an image (Ramone & Tiki) exists? The band hails from the late 70s and the 80s, a decade known as the period of Tiki-Devolution.

Also because American 50's and 60's pop culture was such a big influence for the Ramones. I just remember by the way that in one of their dvd's, (i'm not shure if it is 'Raw' or 'We're outta here') when Marky Ramone is getting interviewd in his livingroom there is an African 'tiki' mask behind him.

This is the only thing that I came across that even gets close to Joey and tiki... Although, Gary Brandin told me once that Johnny Ramone would come to The Lava Lounge all of the time to see the Blue Hawaiians play.

Talk about a perfect example of an excellent thread coming back to life because someone was delving a bit deeper!!! Thanks, Zeta!!! See, the search function really DOES work! Funny enough, I just happen to be reading On the Road with the Ramones right now and stumbled upon that photo the other night. I knew I had seen that New Caledonian figure somewhere before, and, sure enough...There it was referenced in Sabu's Tiki Tour of San Pedro thread. And a few more on the web...
