plastic paradise stated that (paraphrasing) the vietnam war basically killed tiki. soldiers coming back from the war in the 70s wanted nothing to do with the tropics and those themes. also what people were more into was sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. tiki souvenirs were hidden in attics and basements and were more of an embarrassment than celebrated.
Plastic paradise is who? (the documentary I know, but who is behind it & making the assumption?)
once again since I was around then I whole heartily disagree & given the timeline for the start of the Vietnam War
As I already mentioned, This is the first I have heard of Vietnam Vets not wanting anything to do with Tiki Bars
after the war, I myself missed the draft by six months, but have spent a bit of time with many Vietnam War Vets
during my "Motorcycle Years"
