It sounds like Tom Morello’s unhinged rant against Paul Ryan — inspired by Ryan’s professed love of Rage Against the Machine — hasn’t dissuaded the vice presidential candidate from giving shout-outs to his favorite bands, or at least the first and last ones on his iPod playlist.
Ryan & music: " I hope it’s not a deal-breaker Mitt, but my playlist starts with AC/DC, and ends with Zeppelin"—

Is it possible to politicize such an innocuous comment? As another vice presidential candidate might have said, “You betcha!”
"My playlist starts with AC/DC and ends with Zeppelin." Does Ryan know neither of those bands are American? They have universal healthcare.—

Paul Ryan said his iPod starts with AC/DC and ends with Zeppelin, outsourcing American rock jobs to Australia and England #RNC2012—

AC/DC and Led Zeppelin? Paul Ryan's music playlist is decidedly un-American!—

Paul Ryan's playlist starts with AC/DC and ends with Zeppelin. Seems un-American, though.—

AC/DC and Led Zeppelin immediately call lawyers to ban the campaign from using their songs.—

Headline tomorrow: "Members of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin don't want Paul Ryan as a fan"—

Fair point: wouldn’t Led Zeppelin be filed under “L” and not “Z”?
Just saw that thing from the Ryan speech. OK, my playlist starts at AC/DC too, but Zep is filed under L, everybody knows that.—

If Paul Ryan's A-Z iPod example was AC/DC to Led Zeppelin, he must have them listed in iTunes as "Zeppelin, Led"—

Has Ryan just lost the ZZ Top vote?
Ryan's playlist goes "from AC/DC to Zeppelin." What, no ZZ Top? There goes my vote, loser.—
Greg Milner (@GIMilner) August 30, 2012
Paul "My playlist starts with AC/DC and ends with Zeppelin" Ryan just alienated the ZZ Top vote.—
