You bought a book. You have a book. If you read the book, then you become their audience. They don't owe you anything else. "Like others, if Bill and Jimi have given up and have no interest on contributing to music or art any longer (because it sure seems to me that they are trying to make their not-caring about art...into art)" Both men are engaged, active artists who take an interest in connecting with the audiences for that art - Jimmy attended Dismaland, and nearly all of Bill's work involves directly interacting with people who are interested in the project at hand. I saw Bill in Sydney two years ago, and enjoyed the pieces he wrote for Australian newspapers, and the talk, and the interaction with an audience member and his shoes, and how he related his history and the bed he built and the shoes to a) the creative drive and b) a meaningful connection with other humans, and how we can make our lives more fulfilling by integrating the two. If I'd walked out bitching that he hadn't closed by playing The Lonely Spy and Love On The Ganges from 1979, that would be as irrelevant as thinking I deserve 90 unfinished, never-intended-for-release-in-this-form works from ten years later, for free, in a home-listening format of my choice. ----- Original Message ----- From: "All bound for Mu-Mu Land."

Bill and Jimi were such a huge part of my life that I was initially disappointed I wasn't able to fly to the UK to be a part of it. In the end, I would've ended up with some pictures of B&J driving an ice cream van and a crowd of people confused why they still cared. Like others, if Bill and Jimi have given up and have no interest on contributing to music or art any longer (because it sure seems to me that they are trying to make their not-caring about art...into art) I wish they would just dump on their music out there too. We have fourth generation cassette dubs of acetates and random DAT tapes and short pressed singles and all that, and we live with it because that's all there is...but having contempt for your audience is not art, it's just being an asshole. I bought the book, but I'm glad I didn't drop a couple thousand dollars to fly over there to get it stamped. Some of us don't have money to burn. jr ----------------------------------------- Jeremiah "Spassvogel" Rickert 6'7" 350 lbs of Dr. Pepper and Pez Candy. ----------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ KLF mailing list KLF@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/klf Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com
