Even by the metric of Peak 80s gaudiness, Taco stood out as someone exceptionally tacky.

But at the time, I remember some of my peers and many adults worshiping the guy because of Worthington’s Law. People tripping over themselves to get down to his “Taj Mahal” and getting pictures of themselves at the entrance, etc…

I just thought the guy looked like a Daddy’s boy with an exceptionally loud mouth, seeking lots of attention and self-promotion and truly awful taste.
