[kj] Pyramid Myth

[Jerry Butson]

Isn't it something to do with 'art', that where or why you do a particular thing is meant to bring something intangible to the result? Does anyone believe the KLF actually burned £1,000,000?

Apparently there is video footage of the recording that was going to show up on a DVD at some point (I forget which one)

The notion of recording within the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid is an intriguing one (if slightly disrespectful, when you really think about it), but the whole notion of "war zones" just seems sort've ludicrous -- and also disrespectul to a degree. "Hello, sorry to trouble you, but we thought we'd just set up our equipment and play some scary songs while you two camps shell each other. Don't mind us, carry on. We'll be done in a second." Seems awfully touristy.
