Title: What's the frequency, Kenneth?
Post by: Dave W on July 08, 2015, 10:34:05 PM: The weird connection between AC/DC and the 1986 Dan Rather assault (http://dangerousminds.net/comments/kenneth_what_is_the_frequency_ac_dc_dan_rather)

Slightly off topic: I'm not a big REM fan, but I don't dislike them either. The guitar solo in WTFK is one of my all time favourites.

Stipe sure has acting talent, I love the way how he lampoons all anchor men (and women) mannerisms, especially the "frozen eyebrow, I just asked a critical question"-facial expression. And the song is a true Ohrwurm.

I lived literally right around the corner at the time. The show was sparsely attended, made one less by me, they were bloody awful and I walked out.

Post by: Highlander on July 14, 2015, 03:51:31 PM: This number... a bit like finding a place called the Killkenny viewpoint, or South Park and "Oh No you've killed Kenny"...

Walking over the grave stuff... :o

Just the "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" - it's all in the "name", that's all...
