Fictional Metallica Fan?
I am reading a series of books about a bumbling bounty hunter named Stephanie Plum. So far there are 12 books to the series of which I've read 8. So far in nearly every book Metallica is mentioned somewhere: "got into my car and turned up Metallica", "pulled on my Metallica cap", "the guy was on his couch in his Metallica T-shirt". It is like Metallica is a rock n roll brand name or something. I guess the authored figured that they are so universally well known that even non rockers would know who they are. Either that or she is just a huge Metallica fan and needed to work them into each of her books. In any case, it makes the Stephanie Plum character all that much more endearing to me knowing she is a fan of my favorite band!

Re: Fictional Metallica Fan?
I started book 8 today and was like, ok how long till she mentions Metallica? Sure enough page two of chapter four. Stephanie gets into her car...
"I had Metallica wailing away. Bob [her dog] was riding shotgun next to me, digging Lars on the drums."
It is just so cool.
Spider Dan has a great story posted in my thread about these books on PPM explaining Metallica's presence in my "bumbeling female bounty hunter" novels. I'll see if he'll post it here.
They are going to make a movie out of these books. That would be so RAD if they used Metallica's songs in the soundtrack.
