1987 20/20 Segment on Heavy Metal Pt. 1
1987 20/20 Segment on Heavy Metal Pt. 2
There's an interesting phenomenon at work here that I've noticed before. While the mainstream media has always failed to adequately distinguish between actual metal and pale imitations in promotional stories, it seems to have no such trouble where polemics against the music are concerned. Other than Tipper Gore's brief reference to Motley Crue and maybe 10 seconds of stock footage, all of the references focus on actual metal: Metallica, Maiden, Ozzy and SOD.
Maybe I am becoming paranoid...
