Geocache Description:


"What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" is a song by the American alternative rock band R.E.M. from their 1994balbum Monster. It was the first single taken from the album, which was released three weeks later. It peaked at number 21bon the Billboard Hot 100, number 9con the UK Singles Chart, and was the first song to debut at number one on Billboard Modern Rock Tracks. The song's title refers to an incident in New York City in 1986, when two then-unknown assailants attacked journalist Dan Rather, while repeating "Kenneth, what is the frequency?"

It was placed on R.E.M.'s compilation albums In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988–2003oin 2003zand Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982–2011bin 2011, the only track from Monster to feature on either. The song is one of the band's most-played songs at live gigs, and was played at every show on their 2008sAccelerate tour. A live version was released on R.E.M. Live in 2007.
