Report: Heavy Metal Addict Wins Disability Benefits
March 19, 2010, 14 years ago
A 42 year-old Swedish dishwasher named Roger Tullgren was determined by psychologists to be addicted to heavy metal, and thus, given permission to listen to loud music at work, and also, disability.
According to Swedish online newspaper The Local, Tullgren first developed an interest in heavy metal when his older brother bought a BLACK SABBATH album in 1971. Since then, Tullgren is a classic (albeit softly spoken) heavy metal head with tattoos and skull and crossbones jewelery. Last year he attended almost 300 heavy metal shows, while playing bass and guitar in two rock bands, including SILVERLAND.
