I’ve just started to research the bizarre events surrounding “What’s the Frequency Kenneth?” To most people this phrase is a name of an REM song and nothing more. However REM’s lead signer Michael Stipe got his inspiration for the song by these unusual events.

I first heard about this years ago when REM released the song and I remember being told that the song was about CBS’s Anchorman Dan Rather being attacked by 2 unknown men.  I didn’t give much more thought until yesterday.  I was researching something else that related to Iran-Contra when I can came across, “What’s the Frequency Kenneth?” and remember about the song I looked into it a little further.  At this time my information is limited and may not be completely accurate. From what I understand at this point this is what happened.
