U2 has had a “Zoo” theme for a long time in their music. I think it began with their ZooTV tour for their Achtung Baby album, and then the Zooropa album followed.
Well, during the concert in Houston Friday night, the Edge started playing the intro to their new song “Miracle Drug”, and Bono, before singing the song, started talking about how The Edge flew in from space in the 1970’s and landed on the north side of Dublin, Ireland.
They asked The Edge where he was from and he said: “Zootopia. It’s a place in the future.”
Bono: “What’s the future like?”
The Edge: “It’s better. It’s better.”
And The Edge was playing these four notes as he spoke, the first four notes to “Miracle Drug”.
The G, Robert, and I mostly laughed as he was talking, as we knew he was just spouting a bunch of silly stuff for the sake of fun. That’s Bono for ya!

Many people don’t know that D is from the planet Mookopia, where the snow is flavored like ice cream.
G: “What’s Mookopia like?”
D: “The Rocky Road there is better. It’s better”
