A little something I stumbled across... interesting..
From The Unofficial Bob Dylan Website
...Especially since AB was SUCH a reversal of JT and everything leading up to it, and some people may not have been born yet or been old enough to remember how angry some "fans" were at the time about this "new direction" U2 had gone, especially the hyper-religious people who wanted to project their own faith onto the band and were soooooo distressed at the band's description of AB's sound as that of "four men chopping down the Joshua tree...." "Judas" (and worse) was indeed hurled at them given their sudden 90-degree turn into the hypersexuality, shiny leather and gritty glamour coming out of the 'earnest young men' image they'd been somewhat mistyped by in the media from the JT era.
and we all know Bono's been nicknamed 'the magpie' with good reason...
It fits well...

This has had me stumped for a long time with no real answer from anyone.
