was this really dan rather??

[heidigretel]

I do not have USA television so I am not familiar with Dan Rather. He is TV person in the USA?

This song is about a crazy man attacking Dan Rather so I think the man in this video must be Dan Rather. :)

[Thomas Rowbottom]

It really was Dan Rather... this is why. The song is about a crazy guy who attacked Dan in like 85 and all he did was attack him and scream Whats the Frequency, Kenneth? Hence the song. Its not about it, just the title has to do with it... BTW that little hand move dan does is funny as fuck

[geo prism]

This is wonderful logic.

[LSDreamscape]

Actually, Stipe has stated that "I wrote that protagonist as a guy who's desperately trying to understand what motivates the younger generation, who has gone to great lengths to try and figure them out, and at the end of the song it's completely fucking bogus. He got nowhere."

[Trinity61]

Courage, Dan. Courage.

[EpicGodMan]

This is just embarrassing for all involved

[lesterclaypool1]

Oh, so now you tell us!

Dan Rather owes you a serious shit kicking, Ken.

Nice to see you salgoudsamoht (Thomas Douglas).

i think the band should have shared a few lines of coke with Dan before recording to compensate for Mr. Rather's alcoholic stupor, which seems to have aggravated the brain damage he suffered in the beating by Mr. Tager. While Dan has always had his political priorities in the right place and should be commended for being one of the few sheep who spoke out against the evil Bush/Cheney axis, culturally, Dan is a basket case. The Izod shirt and 6 daiquiris with Mr Hefner before filming didn't help.

[cthulhuraiser]

yep, you got it. slurp, slurp, slurp.

[VA24541]

You are correct on that point, and I bet you just keep on drinking the kool-aide.
