MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Back in early September of 1994…

R.E.M. asked one of the strangest questions
of the decade…

“What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?”

But Michael Stipe didn’t make up that question.

It came from a bizarre incident…

eight years earlier…

in New York City.

(Music Cut #3)

CBS news anchor Dan Rather was attacked on the street…

by a stranger who kept demanding…

“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”

So, years later…

R.E.M. turned that wingnut of a moment

into a song title.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth.” – R.E.M.
