I wrote about the Michael Shannon/Jason Narducy R.E.M. outing (www.salon.com/2026/10/07/m... ) but it’s mostly/also about the accumulation of years of fandom. On insta I added this photo of me that you can find in the tour program for Fables of the Reconstruction.

Oct. 4, 1986: CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather was attacked in NYC by a man repeatedly asking, “Kenneth, what is the frequency?” Eight years later, R.E.M. turned that bizarre encounter into “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” From breaking news to alternative rock! 📻🎸

“Kenneth, what is the frequency?” On this day in 1986, CBS news anchor Dan Rather was attacked and beaten on a New York City street by a mentally ill assailant. The phrase has became a popular culture reference over the years. R.E.M. referenced in their 1994 song. #80sTV #DanRather #GenX

I know how people feel and what the band said about where they were in their lives at the time. But for me it coincided with a really good part of my life and so is always special. Let’s not forget that even when not on top form, the can still make songs like LNY, The Outsiders and Final Straw 👍
