“Bono’s pet phrase for the Zoo philosophy has been judo, jujitsu: using your enemy’s strength against him. It’s how the band reconciled their embrace of all the tools-commercialism, glamour, stardom, ostentation-to which U2’s music and beliefs had previously stood in opposition. Art students might suss this stuff by sophomore year, but U2 are artists by instinct, not training. It took them a decade to figure it out.”
