XOOM DISEASE must be cured! If you click on properties and then copy and paste it onto your address bar, you can see them. If you don't want to mess with it, I will. I'm going to upload every one of those to my webshots account so I can trick XOOM and take their pictures

The first one is MacPhisto hugging a girl! I have seen the shoe store and made jokes about it too. It's something like Macphesto.

The MacPhisto character was invented by Bono and his friend Gavin Friday. Gavin thought the Mirrorball Man, who was a combination of a TV evangelist and a used car salesman, would not be understood in Europe. Bono admitted MacPHisto was the devil, and Gavin said he should buy horns. He didn't want to, and Ali was not happy! Bono and Gavin invented all the details of the character, the devil in the form of a tired old pop star, the fly old and fat and playing Las Vegas. Bono bought the shoes and painted them gold. "I bought these!" It was funny. There is a chapter in the U2@TEOW book.

I thought I read somewhere that it was Fintan who gave Bono the MacPhisto boots.

MacPhisto was named after this guy Dr. Faust, who was a German neuromancer a longgg time ago. The story goes that he apparenlty sold his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge.

There are all these MacPhisto origin stories...but I have an interview of the band
from when they were on Much Music this summer
(U2 Does Much). In the interview, Bono claims that he and Edge discovered MacPhisto
in Madrid, and he was some guy that worked in the theater. Supposedly he and Edge followed this guy around all night, and that gave Bono the inspiration to become MacPhisto.

Make Love!
