With the appointment of General HR McMaster to the NSA job, and the anniversary of the Battle of 73 Easting, all week we'll be talking about A Line Through the Deseret.
Now, young Jake Bloom, just graduated from high school is a metal head. He loves Led Zeppelin. ALTD opens with Jake listening to The Song Remains the Same. That night at the diner with his friends he plays Over the Hills and Far Away on the jukebox. The next morning while his parents are chatting in his synagogue parking lot he's waiting in the car and Good Time Bad Times is playing on the radio.
It's not just Led Zeppelin that Jake loves. Later on in the army he takes a girl to a Metallica concert. He and his friend Dan like Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory. As noted in this space before, at a party Jake and his friends debate whether or not Bon Jovi is metal and Jake points to Dead or Alive. Skid Row's I Remember You makes Jake think of Patricia, his girlfriend and he writes her a letter with Cinderella's Coming Home on in the background and also Tesla's The Way it is, 'I miss your smile and that sparkle in your eyes...your so beautiful...never change.'
So how hardcore of metal head is Jake? No much of one, really. Its hard rock he likes.
