I was at a screening in Liverpool in 1995 of the KLF money burning film, with the KLF pair sitting at a desk facing the audience as it rolled, looking like a pair of naughty schoolboys. The Q&A session afterwards was very hostile - in fact I wondered why they subjected themselves to the predictable barrage of abuse - this was Liverpool not some arty-farty gallery in Chelsea. And yet the KLF's responses to criticism in the Q&A were surprisingly vacuous, as though they didn't really have anything interesting to say for themselves about it from any standpoint. About the only thing they achieved was creating a 'dead cat' type talking point - as if that made this all worth it. I think it ranks alongside Duchamp's Urinal as a great non-art art piece of the 20th century.
There is a brilliant interview with Drummond and Cauty had with Gail Byrne on RTE. The audience ask them questions about why they burnt £1 million. Needless to say the audience give them a hard time. A good watch. Drummond looked like he was in shock, Cauty looked like he didnt give a shit.

I just watch it👍
Higgs is funny and knows how to tell a story.
Those hitch hikers going to see Spiral Tribe at Glastonbury, bet they stank! 😉
Those Crusties sure lived up to their name back in the day!
It would be funny (art?) if John Higgs made a million from the book
£1 million from 1994 in todays money is £2 million (allowing for inflation).
Allowing for conflagration ?
