Rule 4
At the 1992 BRIT Awards KLF are at the height of their success, but Bill and Jimmy are even more desperate to cause an outrage.
Rule 4: Go it alone.
At the height of their success the KLF can do no wrong. But they really want to. News of their forthcoming BRIT Award confirms their status as music industry establishment – exactly the thing they’re fighting against – and so they go in search of an idea so outrageous, so disgusting, that they would succeed in becoming outcast from the industry.
