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!”

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.

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.

Paul "My playlist starts with AC/DC and ends with Zeppelin" Ryan just alienated the ZZ Top vote.
