Rock & Metal

Morton Downey Jr. hosts and addresses the possibly harmful aspects of punk rock and heavy metal music. Among the issues discussed are groupies and whether or not rock music both promotes and glorifies drug use. Rockers Joey Ramone and Ace Frehley go to bat for rock'n'roll while the group Circus of Power perform live, and a clip from a 1958 music video of Downey Jr. singing "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is shown.
