Here's something that really caught my eye today. Apparently, there's this person in Sweden, Roger Tullgren, who has been medically diagnosed with an addiction for "Heavy Metal".

He's 42, serving as a dishwasher, and got fired from his previous job for bad attendance. That's cuz he attended a whopping 300 shows. This led to counselling sessions, which resulted in him signing a document which said that heavy metal to him is an addiction. Because heavy metal dominates his life, the Emplyment Service has agreed to foot his bills. He'll be getting $65 (I'm not sure about that) to purchase albums, and attend shows as he likes, provided he makes up for the lost time.

This is crazy... I'm a huge music fan, and yeah, Id love to attend all the shows I could. So would a lot of others... Are we officially disabled too?
