JOE BERLINGER and BRUCE SINOFSKY -- interview with the documentary film makers

of "Paradise Lost" (their new film) and "Brother's Keeper." During the course

of this 2-hour conversation I played:



BOBBY FULLER FOUR I Fought The Law

METALLICA Poor Twisted Me

METALLICA The Call Of Ktulu



The music of Metallica is featured prominently in "Paradise Lost," a film

about three teenage boys who were accused -- and ultimately convicted -- of

the brutal slaying of three 8-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. One of

the reasons the townspeople were so willing so accept the police accusations

was because these teenagers were the town outcasts, the kids who wore black,

had long hair, and listened to "heavy metal". Metallica allowed Berlinger

and Sinofsky to use their music in the film without charge, because they are

admirers of "Brother's Keeper" and because the film attempts to dispel the

assumption that "heavy metal" is synonymous with "Satanism," "cultism," and

"ritualistic murder." "Paradise Lost" is an extraordinary film that raises

many questions about the nature of justice in media-saturated America. To
