WOW ! page 9...while not a big Buffet fan ("Come Monday" excepted) most of his music I'm not familiar with...... (as overplayed top 40's gets the boot on my dial) .....but let's face it ,warm sand,cool fruity drinks,and sharing some fun are common goals ....there are some asses that have that "frat Idiot"result no matter which camp they get loaded in..... the ignorant "masses" of them should be.......( multiple choice here)....(hey,do they vote?...could explain a few things?)....but musical taste? hell, I always thought J.B. was James Brown !....we do seem have a bit more class in Tiki land with the art SOME of the misic and proprely mixed drinks......the main bitch seems to be the mix of other than tiki in our "sacred" places....My gal and I were in Pittsburgh at the Tiki lounge and while totally taken with the fantastic decor and pleased with reasonably good drinks and service....the music was(at least for our 2 hour stay on a Thursday afternoon) a mix of new alt rock (blasting!.as it should be ) with a bit of classic pop rock...and yeah" THAT " Jimmy Buffet tune..... as the father of two "rock star" sons ....I dealt with it.....and understand many posters' angst.....as Ringo said "I'm a mocker" when asked in "Hard Days Night" if he was a rocker or a mod...It's freedom man...as long as you don't mess with MY TIKI......Aloha and Mahalo
