Strange Story Behind R.E.M.’s Song 'What’s the Frequency, Kenneth'


CBS News anchor Dan Rather, renowned for his unusual expressions and sayings, has led a colorful life. However, one bizarre event really takes the cake.

One night in October 1986, Rather was walking down a Manhattan street when he was punched from behind and thrown to the ground. His assailant kicked and beat him while repeating, "Kenneth, what is the frequency?"

No one could explain the event, and the rumors flew fast and wide. Some speculated the assailant was a KGB agent, while others claimed the attack was the work of a jealous husband. Rather himself couldn’t shed any light on the subject.'

  1. What's the frequency family? in my case.
    It's a constant internal battle with my mother whom l live with, she cannot see the situation l underwent at Attitudes with bloodline HUW THOMAS nor has she even attempted to look at anything presented as evidence with an ounce of scrutiny, as well as barstards called siblings.

    However my sister Roslyn who is related to the bloodline as an in law was to say in October 2002 after my experience at Attitudes with Huw Thomas,......"Its not to do with the A***?"

    How did she know beforehand about them when it wasn't even indicated as so?????

    My mother and deceased father never ever hugged or showed love towards us as family, they were cold as ice as 1950's parents.

    What is love?????????????

    After my experience at Attitudes with a hidden bloodline surveillance so called family quietly and slowly shunned me over time.
    Today they are strangers l have to tolerate.

    Tell you what l learnt more so about what love is with the bloodline other than family oddly enough.
    l remember showing two books that l had read to my Uncle in front of some family about Victorian Police Corruption written by reasearcher Raymond Hossier.
    Well he waved his hand in my face in dismissal claiming theres no corruption within the Victoria police in OZ, bespite him NEVER reading anything on the subject at all.
    l felt belittled during that time by family and stepped back quietly yet at the same time l was furious within.
    Today l'd love to throw the books down in front of his ignorant face and say "Remember you said years ago there's no police corruption in Victoria to me?"
    "Since when that l've known you [1960's] have you ever investigated or researched so? besides reading the tons of fiction thriller type books you only read....Jimmy???".
    This is the type l have for support after 8 years since my experience at Attitudes with a hidden bloodline, they know nothing expect bringing up children and continuing on the cycle, crickey knows what would happen if one was born gay in their families...hope so only upset the fable of fabrication.
