To be honest, I think he's flicked through The Manual by KLF from back to front.
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
As for the media attention...loads of people are saying, "Ah, but all publicity is good publicity!". The problem with that is that he's now on the shit list with every venue and potential support band who's come across that publicity, so it'll do him absolutely no good whatsoever. Not only that, but now that he's been rumbled he's shut down the "band's" entire social media presence.
I can imagine that if he'd managed to fake it and subsequently fill venues, it would've made for a great YouTube documentary. As it is, though, it's just a bit of a sad story and a warning to all who think that buying likes and views will help them.
As I said on other threads (possibly on here? I was a bit drunk when I got home last night...), if he'd taken that money and spent it on a decent mixing engineer and a good PR campaign, he may even have got somewhere with it. He'd probably even have enough left over for a US tour.
We also have prettier front men
