Rule 3
KLF are a pop sensation with a string of hits to their name but the search for meaning goes on.
Rule 3: Only a madman is absolutely sure.
Pop stardom is going well, the KLF are a music industry sensation with a string of hits. An inspired collaboration with country music legend Tammy Wynette takes them to new heights. But is that enough, asks Bill, where鈥檚 the meaning? In the North Pole perhaps? Well that鈥檚 the conclusion he reaches and so off they go. Really. All this happened.
