Were you there, like?
It was on a Hebridean island (Jura, in fact, where George Orwell wrote 1984 in a house that still doesn't have electricity). Not even in a glass box over the Thames. David Blaine must have sniggered that anyone bought that one.

so the fact it happened out of sight (well, apart from the camera) proved it didn't happen? 
do you know WHY they went to Jura? it wasn't a random choice, you know..

it was a favourite place of Drummond's, he used to go there a lot, and they'd staged other events there, including the Wicker Man thing. They didn't choose it so they could fool anyone.
anyway, fuck it - no point in arguing. You think what you think, I know what I know

do you beleive everything those people say?! Who answered this poll?
KLF don't give a fuck about the 'democracy' of it, they wanted someone to pillory.
they say 'she was voted the worst arstist in Britain'. No she wasn't - she was voted by those people to be the worst of the artists in the Turner Prixe i.e the idea is to choose someone from a list who you think is the worst. So only the people who think the Turner Prize is crap will answer it.
So they are going to come up with a name somehow for their stunt.
democratic principles can be subverted easily - look at Lambeth's ALMO ballot where they don't count the 'don't knows'.
You must be cheap (
)Seriously tho' - she didn't want the money and gave it away to charities w- which was good of her. But that wasn't straight forward as she explains in the article I posted above cos of how she was given it etc.

I burnt a fiver in one of my favourite places: the Hermitage at Dunkeld. It's lovely there. Took a photo on my mobile.

Yeah but unlike David Blaine they both had a genuine air of lunancy about them which added credence to their claims.
Dubversion said:
That's where the money trees grow. It's only the cost of transporting a pound to the smoke that gives it any worth. A note in Jura is barely worth the effort to pick it. Until you can pass it off to some English towny it ain't worth the paper it's written on.

i think you're taking it a little bit seriously. It was a prank, for god's sake - a prank with a smidgin of serious intent, but still a prank

Yes, and they did some nice tunes. But they didn't burn a million quid. They just didn't.Divisive Cotton said:

Well if you can't take the heat, don't go into the kitchen.
Her events were very public (remember the house in Hackney?), and so if somebody publicly responds, so be it.

Oh noes. Democracy has failed.
How much would it cost a couple of musicians to take the gentle piss out of you for an evening? I reckon 40K is a deal, but I assume you're a little highly strung, or very well off.
Dubversion said:
Yeah but it involved humiliating a harmless woman in front of the whole country.
Like a lot bullying then people can say 'but it was a joke'.
there's plenty of other things they could have done to prove nothing whatsoever and get attention for themselves, esp with the Turner Prize, but they did this. And I don't like this aspect to it.
They could have even picked on someone who deserved it.
Is the music industry any less financially hypocritical than the art industry? Where are the financial values coming from?

Highly strung then!

Art is usually meant for others to see, and respond to.
The house was what won her the Turner Prize - I thought it was magnificent.
I don't think for one second she thought that her artwork would end up with her getting a phone call telling her if she doesn't come into the public to be ridiculed for being 'the worst artist in Britain', then £40 K will be burnt.
I just think that's nasty.

I'm sure the 40K more than made up for it.
