Yeah he's a child of a musician, but I mean, maybe Jeff Tweedy never bought a Fleetwood Mac album, he just heard them in his car growing up etc. And this guy is my little sister's age, roundabouts, and she had never heard "Go Your Own Way" before I played it for her (where would she get it, Forest Gump? That came out when she was <1) . These songs were ubiquitous classics when I was a little kid, ie on classic rock radio, commercials, so on, but it's less and less so.
18 is young enough to have grown up almost entirely on internet radio.
ETA: Also he did say that he had heard "Dreams" and "Never Going Back Again" before, so he did know a couple at least.
