Teachers know that students can text under the desk without glancing down, their phones set with a ringtone pitched too high for adults to hear. We are fighting on their turf. They are up in the trees and underground and in caves while we march around in our bright red uniforms trying to defend their dignity and virtue. Not a fair fight...

But electronic blips become self-parody when paired with lyrics about computers, and it’s beyond laughable to hear Bono and the Edge employ the inspirational “Force quit and move to trash” in an otherwise quality song. “The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear,” Bono sings on another track, and it shows.The best songs retain their...
