Well, it's sure excited me! And I should think that Stephen will be pretty happy too... Do you think he'll be camping? Bringing any cows? Mooing artisitcally/ progressively? Playing 45s? Selling pieces of a photo? Oooooo - so many possibilities...

(gasp)

OK. (deep breath)

Bill Drummond is: the man behind the band The KLF (with Jimmy Caulty), the man who filmed the buring of a million pounds in the name of art, and is currently touring the UK cutting bits off a photo and selling them for a dollar a piece (long story!).

Any clearer? No, thought not.
(He is a bit of an enigma, on purpose, so...)

Thank you Evangeline for the Diff'rent Strokes reference, you made me smile.

*Very* deep breath......

They also fired a machine gun at a Brits audience. Oh and tried to tie two slaughtered cows to a road sign on the M25. All in the name of art, you know.
