I only own most of U2's cds. I dont own October or the Unforgettable Fire.
I only have 3 U2 shirts. I have only seen them live once. I have very few
bootlegs. I only have 2 videos. I have no photos, I dont know all of the
words to songs on Pop.

But the day I saw Popmart live, was the most intense emotional feeling for
me - like falling in love! So you judge - am I a real fan? What is a real
fan - someone who owns everything and knows everything, or someone who has
a very emotional attachment to the music? hmmm - I think the former, and
that I am not. So I am not a huge fan, but I have always loved the music
very much. Work that out.

On another note, my designer told me he has taken inspiration from the Pop
CD artwork for our annual report. Okay a Government department is a little
more conservative, but it still has the people blown up into all the little
spots - cool huh! I had the term 'you too' used twice but both were edited
out - since the entire thing i meant to be in the thrid person!
