Are the FLK too slim to be the KLF?
Has anyone commented on the physical appearance of The FLK? Jimmy carries a bit of a paunch these days, and Bill isn't as slim as he used be either. The cow-headed FLK duo look like they're closer to 25 than 55. Anyhow, the whole thing looks like an obvious rip-off to me, lacking both the polish and originality that B&J display in even their most recent works (Riot In A Jam Jar etc). The folly of two guys who still live rent free with their parents perhaps? Mark H.
Entirely possible. Also possible KLF are making the rrcords and masterminding the project while stand-ins wear the cow heads. Dan On Aug 23, 2011, at 10:49 PM, Mark Humphrey <mjhumphrey@gmail.com> wrote:

But the KLF were actually the Residents in disguise, weren't they? ;-) I think it's unlikely that Bill & Jimmy are involved in anything other than tacit approval. Bill's nearly 60, and seems quite happy with his new role as a fishing-writing-soup-making-17-producing celebrity for the "Word" magazine crowd. And Jimmy's presumably enjoying the post-honeymoon period with his Thompson Twin. As I said before, it's a bit like the Pythons going back to doing a TV sketch show in their old age - they've all got other careers now (Hollywood director, travel writer, historian, professional John Cleese impersonator, musical impressario and ashes in an urn) and I can't see any of them turning their back on what they're doing now to revisit old, old glories ... Still looking forward to the FLK album, though! :-) John On Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 4:35 AM, Dan T. Hutchins <danthutchins@gmail.com>wrote:
