Well, if they didn't, then this book would be rather pointless! ;-> http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1899858377/ref=cm_mp_wli_/026-14208 14-5758053?coliid=I3J2730JSKZMYQ Cheers, Nick ;-)

Interesting, as always the burning of the cash is mentioned, surly this didnt really happen and was another Cauty hoax.
Is there any official line on this ??
Surly burning 1 million would be a sick thing to do, why not give it to a charity or hand out tenners to the poor like the tenant thing.
Some one tell me it didnt really happen please !!!

So anyone here live on The Soup Line!!!
Drawing lines on a map, its reminiscent of the famous rabbit ears Echo and the Bunnymen tour that Drummond organised.

Taken from NME (http://www.nme.com/news/107671.htm):
BILL DRUMMOND IN THE SOUP!
Former KLF man and renowned art terrorist BILL DRUMMOND has turned to soup for his next project.
Drummond, who once burnt £1 million in cash on a Scottish island, will spend a week in Northern Ireland in May preparing soup.
The stunt is part of Drummond?s The Soup Line, and will run as part of Belfast?s Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival from April 30 to May 5.
"In May 1998, Bill made soup for people in a house in Belfast," said Sarah Hughes, a festival spokesperson. "In January 2003 he made soup for a people in a house in Nottingham. He's now taken a map of the British Isles and drawn a line across it - right through Belfast and Nottingham - and called it The Soup Line. "Anybody living on the line is welcome to invite him to their home and have him make soup for their family and close friends."
The line passes through some curious towns, including Inch Burnfoot in Donegal and Portavogie outside of Belfast.
In 2002, Drummond launched the silent protest playing cards, which were used as a silent call for peace. Most notoriously, in 1994 he and fellow KLF cohort Jimmy Cauty burnt £1 million in new banknotes on the Scottish island of Jura.

as we discussed on this list at the time of the burning and at the time of the tour of the film a year later, and as some of the press articles about that tour mention and there are some similar quotes in the burning book... it became clear that... Denial and Disbelief about the burning is the first step, then comes Anger and Disgust about the waste, then comes Acceptance and Respect Also, what's that about a "Cauty hoax" - clearly they were both integral parts of anything they did, and surely if you had to pick one of them as most hoax-a-matic you would pick Drummond. cheers -- Stuart Young, Michelle Ardern & Felix Ardern-Young (2.5) Live at: 42B, Sefton Ave, Grey Lynn, Auckland, NZ Phone: +64 (0)9 376 8100 say.map@ihug.co.nz Stuey's personal website - a cobweb site: http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~stuey/ The view expressed in this email are those of the author and not of any of the organisations we are involved with
