HASTA LA VISTA BABY!
or 'what we did at the brits awards'
by The KLF

1. Played a thrash-metal version of 3 a.m. Eternal with grunge stars 
   Extreme Noise Terror.

2. Planned to throw buckets of blood over the audience during the 
   performance -what larks!- but we were advised not to by BBC lawyers.

3. We thought it an excellent jape to disembowel a dead sheep too, but 
   Extreme Noise Terror (all vegetarians) refused to take part if the
   slaughter was carried out. Weeds.

4. But we frightened the audience -'cos they thought the machine gun 
   we fired was loaded with bullets!! It was only blanks, ha ha.

5. Sir George Solti, a bigwig in the classical world, was present to 
   accept the Best Classical Recording award. But he had to be persuaded
   not to leave the Awards during our slot, the scaredy cat.

6. We left after our bit, and arranged for a motorbike messenger to 
   pick up our award for Best British Group. The Brit's producers,
   however, wouldn't let him pick it up for us. Pah, foiled! Maybe
   next time...
