The “Metal Health” Debate Hits Fox News, Hilarity Ensues

Last week, the fine folks at MetalSucks alerted us to the case of Roger Tullgren, a 42-year-old metal fan from Sweden who is having part of his dishwasher-level salary paid for by his country’s government because he’s so addicted to music. (He even got a dispensation to play music on the job, a fact that shouldn’t escape whoever’s picked to direct Poison’s next video.) Tullgren’s predicament has made its way to the Fox News chatfest Red Eye, and–surprise!–the pundits, including the just-outta-mothballs Mo Rocca, completely missed the point, thinking that the illness was genre-based. Seriously, who does the music-knowledge vetting for these Fox shows–Ann Coulter?
