I actually think this is a handicap.
In Sweden, a headbanger has succeeded in having his heavy metal music obsession declared an addiction that requires state disability benefits.Roger Tullgren, 42, a heavily tattooed metal head who works as a dishwasher in southern Sweden, said he consulted three psychologists to receive statements testifying to the extent of his heavy metal music dependency, reports the Local, a Swedish news website.
“I have been trying for 10 years to get this classified as a handicap,” he told the Local.

    I am going to move to Sweden, become obsessed with beating stupid physiologists about the head and feet with a stout stick, and get me a government check.

    I listen to far too much Tom Waits, it drives me to drink whisky when I do. I think this is a disability. I shall be contacting the DHSS on the morrow to apply for funding for my obsession.
