Was McGoo the Asian guy that swept the stage with the broom during concerts?

You probably mean Takumi, his former guitar technician, a Japanese-American. McGoo was a ( funny ) African-American guy who wore a funny cap.He was around during the Gold Experience /Come/ Undertaker era. He also posts here on the org sometimes. Quite a nice fellow. He also posted a bit on the Michael Bland threads.

McGregor worked in various roles, and is credited in the Act II tour book, for example.

James 2...This morning's topic on the "Winning Walk" with Ed Young.

My brethren, show no partiality as you hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man with gold rings and in fine clothing comes into your assembly, and the poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, "Have a seat here, please," while you say to the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit at my feet," have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brethren. Has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdon which he has promised to those who love him?

Yes, and he was also a technician and stagehand ( as was Takumi ).
