Hi people and hopefully fellow U2 comrade! So, you want to know about me eh? Well it's either that or you accidentally hit the wrong link and got here by mistake... I'll just assume it's the former for my own vanity's sake.
Anyways, my name is Devi and I'm a 26 year old Malaysian *wo*man who is simply crazy about this *little* band named U2. I've been a U2 fan for quite a while actually, one of those casual ones who didn't actually have an U2 album but sponged off her elder brother who later developed some questionable musical tastes when he purchased the Milli Vanilli album, but I'm going into a whole different tangent am I not?
Well my first U2 album was Achtung Baby, and what an experience that was! It was very different from anything I had heard before and even until today, I think ONE is the best song ever written. (it is! it is!) I truly fell in love with U2 for a different reason actually. You know the One video clip that was directed by Phil Joanou?, the one with Bono sitting in a restaurant and singing? Well, the exact moment I'm talking about is during the line "You say...love is a temple etc." Well, when Bono looks up during that line right into the camera, I just went wobbly and have pledged my love to the finest band from that moment on. There..that wasn't hard now, was it?
Since then, I have purchased all the U2 albums, Achtung Baby is still my favourite with Pop and The Unforgettable Fire coming a close second. Wait! There's also Joshua Tree and Boy and War... Well, I love 'em all dearly.
I must also mention a fellow U2 fan, Kamani, a good friend of mine who joins me in the eternal search for U2 singles, books, posters, anything at all! It's truly difficult to find many U2 items where I come from. The whole country seems to be in love with boy "bands" and the like, Celine Dion etc. I need U2 to keep me sane!!
Well, I guess that's about it. Wanted to put a picture in, (ha!ha!). Was thinking of superimposing my face onto Ali's but that wouldn't be appropriate now would it??
