Would you accept the word of Wikipedia?
"The mullet became popular in the 1970s, due in part to the influence of English glam rock artist David Bowie, who wore the haircut during his Ziggy Stardust and Diamond Dogs phases. Women also wore the style–Florence Henderson, a star of the sitcom The Brady Bunch, has a mullet in the opening sequence from the show's 1973-1974 season. The hairstyle achieved further popularity in the late 1970s and 1980s among entertainers with receding hairlines such as Anthony Geary of "Luke and Laura" fame from the soap opera General Hospital and the singer Michael Bolton.
In the 1980s, the mullet became big and bouffant, and bemulleted men often indulged in other 1980s hair crazes such as spiked hair and blonde highlights. A good example of a popular mullet-man was Richard Dean Anderson in the 80's TV series MacGyver. In the early 1990s, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus's "Achy Breaky" mullet fostered both imitation and ridicule."

Look at 1800's photos of some of the Native American warriors and chief's, in powwow lingo the head piece is called a roach, but the hair is the same. A modifed mohawk. So no, now you know Bono didn't invent it.

There is no way he invented the mullet. Just like so many awesome contributions to the world, the mullet is American made.

Dude, just go out to the backwoods in Tennessee or Kentucky and ask them how long they have had their mullets. You should find an answer that totally discounts Bono's. :) LOL

Elvis had a mullet in the 1950's, but I doubt it was called that back then.

The mullet was found on a crashed ufo, along with the microchip and fiberoptics.
