I've been saying the same thing about that commercial for months. Don't they think that people who might be getting into their sea cruising years might actually know the song and it's origins? Maybe there's a heroin buffet on board. It's not such a weird pairing, appearance-wise, but did the ad agency actually believe that anyone who was a Zeppelin fan in their youth would be interested in buying a new Cadillac today? Do you ever see anyone under 50 driving a new Cadillac? Whnever I see that commercial I think two things: Zeppelin finally sold out, and an ad agency trying way too hard to be cool and missing the mark entirely. Yeah, but Zep fans from their heyday in the early '70s are in their 50s now.
