"On 23 August 1994, the K Foundation (Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty) burnt one million pounds sterling in cash on the Scottish island of Jura. This money represented the bulk of the K Foundation's funds, earned by Drummond and Cauty as The KLF, one of the United Kingdom's most successful pop groups of the early 1990s. The duo have never fully explained their motivations for the burning." text is out of this long and interesting article: http://www.answers.com/topic/the-k-foundation-burn-a-million-quid

so.....the sentiment now, after the event, thought they don't even understand it thoroughly themselves, is a mixture of confusion and disgust.....Regrets? They have them.....cause they were bloody rich fucking idiots, or that they filmed it, does not make it art-It was an act of drunkards, of the saturated, disillusioned, and confused.......

What's their muzak like anyhow??? Did not their success afford them some leisure time for some inner journey of lasting worth.....?Obviously not.

Add another to the ranks of having little or no respect for these tools....


*audio is very poor
(Do collude with them, however, in their preoccupation with previous lost civilizations, the #23, etc.....are they fucking idiots? Perhaps.

"In November 1995, the duo pledged to dissolve the K Foundation and to refrain from public discussion of the burning for a period of 23 years."

Note to the impatient, the "money shot" starts around 13:30 mark

one of them looks a lot like Colin Ferrell...non?

There needs to be a more concise version of this.
A movie doc that shows what they did and why they don't know. It's aggravating to learn they know that they don't know wwhy they did it, those tossers.

I wonder what those guys are up to now. And if they're poor or still trying to get rid of their money.
