As predictably as the sun's rising and setting, when a young person goes off the rails and commits a horrific act of violence, attention swiftly turns to the type of music he or she was a fan of. While hip-hop (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/yblog_thelookout/ts_yblog_thelookout/storytext/a-new-forum-for-culture-war-debate-jared-loughners-musical-taste/39604928/SIG=11ufemgks/*http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5390075) and hard rock (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/yblog_thelookout/ts_yblog_thelookout/storytext/a-new-forum-for-culture-war-debate-jared-loughners-musical-taste/39604928/SIG=132qusp90/*http://www.middletownjournal.com/news/crime/horrorcore-music-fans-linked-to-violence-378737.html) are the usual suspects, even some country music (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/yblog_thelookout/ts_yblog_thelookout/storytext/a-new-forum-for-culture-war-debate-jared-loughners-musical-taste/39604928/SIG=1ap986eih/*http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:InuFAp4LAEYJ:www.law.uoregon.edu/org/olr/archives/82/ORE404.pdf+country+music+and+violence&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESi5konbjxemWcIgKkzBKqhG_wKAyU0QfU3hLFvo LRJisMwWgZeMMxgrqGcWiTP9vgQc4cXv0L6Xjbi0bmAly46lRU aTMM4vzI5zJi-IR5BNQq2JvN4lbms1BVJorEKwX0ft4S4Q&sig=AHIEtbTn1l1mt8DRiGIhfkNNyMFBH8P3kg&pli=1) has drawn flak from culture-war inquisitors. So it was likely just a matter of time before Tucson shooting suspect Jared Loughner should come in for similar treatment in the wake of last weekend's massacre targeting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and killing six bystanders. And sure enough, his musical tastes would appear to give the chattering classes who chatter about such things plenty to chatter about.
In particular, a pounding metal song used as the soundtrack for the lone video Loughner marked as a favorite (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/yblog_thelookout/ts_yblog_thelookout/storytext/a-new-forum-for-culture-war-debate-jared-loughners-musical-taste/39604928/SIG=11cmkbu5p/*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDiq06K5ZA4) on YouTube -- one in which an American flag is burned by a hooded man -- contains lyrics that reference bodies hitting a floor. The video for the song itself (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/yblog_thelookout/ts_yblog_thelookout/storytext/a-new-forum-for-culture-war-debate-jared-loughners-musical-taste/39604928/SIG=11c39s5ps/*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY_I6doz6Qk) -- a 2001 release from the band Drowning Pool (http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110111/ts_yblog_thelookout/a-new-forum-for-culture-war-debate-jared-loughners-musical-taste#) titled "Bodies" -- features one of the band's members screaming instructions to what appears to be a mental patient housed in an insane asylum.
"You're never sure what caused an individual to commit a specific act," Brad Bushman, a communications and psychology professor at Ohio State University, told the Washington Post's J. Freedom du Lac. "But I've been doing research on violent media for 20 years, and the evidence is that it leads to aggressive behavior. It's not the only factor that leads to violence, but it's one of them."
For a better sense of the song's tone, here's a sampling of its lyrics:
One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me
One - Something's got to give
Two - Something's got to give
Three - Something's got to give
