MacPhisto speech

The MacPhisto speech at the Sydney 1993 concert was one of irony, blurring the question of whether MacPhisto is meant to be a corrupted rock star or a representation of the actual Devil:
My time among you is nearly over…Before I go, I have some messages for the world. People of America, I gave you Bill Clinton - I put him on CNN, NBC, C-Span. Too tall to be a despot, but watch him closely. People of Asia, your time is coming - without your transistors, none of this [gestures to Zoo TV stage set] would be possible. People of Europe - when I came among you, you were squabbling like children. Now you’re all hooked up to one cable, as close together as stations on a dial.
People of the former Soviet Union - I gave you capitalism, so now you can all dream of being as wealthy and glamorous as me.
People of Sarajevo, count your blessings … There are people all over the world who have food, heat and security, but they’re not on TV like you are.Frank Sinatra, I give you the MTV demographic; Salman Rushdie, I give you decibels. Goodbye Squidgy, I hope they give you Wales; goodbye, Michael; goodbye all you neo-nazis, I hope they give you Auschwitz.
