Yes. Somewhere on the X$X group links thing, there's a bit about Pete Robinson's 'interview with Michael K' which, I believe, got excerpted on this list at some point before my time on the list (and before I'd ever heard of either Pete or X$X). It's the full interview (from a minidisc and during it K says to Pete (who is clearly pissed off with him but also very friendly with him, which of course has been speculated many times an just one indicative of his being in on the X$X thing) 'You should do more nasty interviews. Your klf interview was so sycophantic. Instead of being the KLF's bitch you should have been a total fucking bitch and cut them up with a hatchet.'. At which point Pete goes all sensitive-to-criticism and K thanks him for putting up scans of 'my most stoned ramblings' for posterity. Seems like he found his niche right there, then.

He inyerviews stars (sometimes musicians, sometimes others) and is basically rather rude to them. Also, I seem to recall he had something to do with "Popbitch" a wee while back. Am I on the right track? John PS - I'm pretty sure it's him that's referred to in "45". I also wonder what Drummond's attitude to people who are obsessed, possibly as strongly as we are, with the earlier parts of his career? Does he, perhaps, look more kindly on a Zoo enthusiast than a KLF one? Just a thought ...

Ah, thanks for clearing up all this. Just wanted to be sure that the script came from an official source in the first place. I already thought about printing my own copy, using some font that resembles a typewriter, and a small Pyramid Blaster on the cover.
I have a few typewriter fonts -- designed to look like an old manual typewriter. I can forward them on if you'd like
If someone would want his own "typewrited" script, I could try to convert it to a PDF file.
I'd like this if you get around to it.
He is never credited by name, but is it also Pete who is mentioned in one of the last chapters of "45"? The bit about 2K and Bill talking about disillusion being the greatest power of them all? And where is he now?
Pete's still around. He was on here not long ago, and I bought a mint copy of his fanzie a while back from him, and I've sent him some KLF images he was looking for for some project which never materialized. He runs/ran a music website but I can't for the life of me recall which one it is right now.
