Chemistry is mind. Most people don't attack celebrities on the street because thier "media is controlling me" filter is not malfunctioning from chemical imbalance... The plan is working -**EVIL LAUGH**!

Thank you Dan Rather...

Not true. The band itself said the following: The title of the song refers to an incident in New York City in 1986, where news anchor Dan Rather was attacked by one or two unknown assailants who, between beatings, would ask, "what's the frequency, Kenneth?" . One of the assailants has been since identified as William Tager, who so attacked as he thought the media had taken control of him. This is from wikipedia.

so what is your logic here? those who jump around have big egos and entitlement issues? ya well i guess that makes alot of sense. and it's pretty much his job to excercise his ego, if he didn't there would be no rem, and therefore no beautiful rem music. at least he's not taking advantage of young girls, and shooting heroin. micheal stipe's a beautiful man and the sooner you realize that the sooner you will open yourself up to what people like him can add to your life, take it or leave it though
