A child’s obsession with a suicide song is surely a symptom of his instability--not the cause.

Heavy metal can be dangerous, though.

I recently evicted my teen-aged brother, a speed-metal enthusiast, from my home. Fortunately, he has no interest in suicide; but repeated doses of Slayer and Megadeath nearly drove me to murder!
