I had no idea The KLF and The Timelords were the same people. Many thanks for the link, as that manual brought something very funny into perspective for me.
I remember a guy I knew while doing my undergraduate degree in Australia. He was president of a local chapter of the "Young Liberals" (the hip, young, politically active conservatives - the Liberal Party is conservative in Australia) who proudly drove his 10 year old BMW at ludicrously high speeds so he could be noticed by more people, and used a shoe horn and vasoline to squeeze into a pair of moleskins so tight they would make John Laws' eyes water. He also claimed to play the guitar, but never managed to provide any evidence.
There was a time when this guy held forth on the essential hierarchy of music forms, using it to explain his ever-increasing musical enlightenment. As a guitarist, he had enjoyed a fleeting interest in the blues. But he had soon realized it to be an inferior music form. He then graduated to jazz, believing it might provide more intellectual and emotional satisfaction. However, after several years listening to jazz, he found he had exhausted all the benefits that this limited music form could offer. That was when he discovered The KLF, a group of musicians who were obviously operating on a much higher intellectual and artistic plane than all others. When I frowned at the idea, he offered me his sympathies, and suggested that with sone maturity I might see the genius of their creations.
And he was right. Now I do see the genius of their creations.
