"What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" is a song by the rock group R.E.M. from their 1994 album Monster. The title references the question an assailant, later identified as William Tager, asked CBS anchorman Dan Rather as he assaulted him on Park Avenue in Manhattan in October 1986. The phrase actually spoken by Tager, as reported by Rather, was "Kenneth, what is the frequency?" Tager apparently was convinced that the news media was beaming signals into his head, and demanded that Rather tell him the frequency of the signals. Tager is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for killing NBC stagehand Campbell Montgomery outside the Today show studio in 1994.
