AC/DC and Zeppelin are from a younger generation?   I guess if you are from the Glen Miller Generation.

I thought that was weird too because who wouldn't list them under "L" for Led Zeppelin.

Pretty good speech though. He had some decent lines, like the one about people in their twenties staring up at faded Obama posters.

I think a problem for him is that he comes across as so young himself though. That will scare some people.

I'm guessing that AC/DC and Led Zeppelin are the most recent bands that the average GOP voter listens to.
