27 years since his first rehearsal.

Hope you are all doing well!

Speaking of things found on Twitter, does anyone know where this quote is from? ("I'd describe him as tall, slim, handsome, ludicrous IQ and funny with it. That's what I always tell him. Basically, he's a misunderstood genius, don't you think?" - MacPhisto when asked for his thoughts on Bono.) I've asked on U2start and everywhere else I can think of, but got no answer. :(

 

I finally found where that quote came from - an interview with MacPhisto in the January 1994 issue of Select magazine, for a feature called 'Heroes and Villains of '93'. I never knew this existed - amazing!!!

Here's a text version, so you can translate it into Italian. 

 

Bono's looking pretty horny these days... Zooropa, U2's widescreen version of Zoo TV, took flak here and elsewhere for bringing the horrors in Bosnia into stadium rock and then not knowing what to do with them. But The Fly's successor MacPhisto, the rakish demon with Graham Taylor's home number, caught every imagination. Time for some tea and sympathy with the Devil...

 

Have you seen much of your mate Salman Rushdie lately?

"One falls out with one's biographer eventually..."

 

How old are you?

"Age is the cosmetic surgeon's press officer."

 

Do you believe in God?

"Oh yes. We used to be such good friends. That was a while ago, but my door is always open."

 

What makes you take up a career in rock 'n' roll so late stage in life?

"I'm a sucker for lost causes."

 

What's the nicest thing you've ever done?

"Charity events... not all of them, but some of them."

 

Do you have an Ansaphone message?

"I don't have an answering machine. I don't take incoming calls. Only outgoing. I just call to say I love them."

 

It's often been said the devil has the best tunes. What are your favourites?

"Oh yes, I was there at the beginning... with the old idea of combining African rhythms with European melody, a rather fine combination don't you think? Well, it caught on and I haven't looked back since. Death metal? Oh, anything that obvious can't be dangerous. Brotherhood Of Man do a much better job for me."

 

If you had to endorse a brand of takeaway food, which would it be?

"Hot Chocolate has always been haute cuisine to me."

 

Do you smoke?

"Yes, but I don't inhale."

 

Would you go in for body piercing?

"I've a pair of horns... tridents are a little passé now, a little gauche. My main concern is to be ahead of the times. It's important to touch with the young people, after all you can be thrown out of a party for wearing the wrong shoes, for goodness sake, so the trident had to go. But one should never underestimate the value of a visible symbol. Body piercing, hmmm... I like doing it, rather than having it done to me. I have to be careful not to go too far or I'll end up with a much smaller cult audience and that would be a complete waste of time. Encourage your flock to multiply, I've learnt that from some of the more successful organised religions."

 

Tell us a joke.

"I may have to recall David Koresh's last words: 'Is it hot in here or am I going crazy?' A question I've asked myself many times."

 

Do you like the New Brutalism in film?

"Fear of the Devil leads to Devil worship."

 

What do you think of Bono?

"I have no desire to give him my column inches! But I will say I've been trying to lighten up the act somewhat. Bringing a little glamour to the show, a little showbusiness... panache they call it in Europe. Essentially I'm an entertainer. Bono's coming along nicely, but he's not there yet. Is he too serious? Certainly not. He's a Pet Shop Boys fan! I'd describe him as tall, slim, handsome, ludicrous IQ and funny with it. That's what I always tell him. Basically, he's a misunderstood genius, don't you think?"

 

Heroes and villains of '93?

"I'm happy to fraternise with anyone. I'm not a snob. After all, villains are simply out of step with the law and heroes have just got the common touch. I usually have a look-in somewhere, even if my influence isn't obvious. You know, when you see politicians waving on TV or in press photos? Often they're waving at me. You'd be surprised how far I get."

 

What's your house like?

"A doorless mansion."

Happy B-Day!
