Ya no shit eh!! Lol that's the sign of a truly excellent, talented band! REM is a very underated band, The Tragically Hip is another band, very similar to REM , they were just amazing live, Gord Downie May he RIP, was such a great frontman, again very similar to REM's lead singer! That could be the Canadian in me speaking lol no the Hip were an excellent band, I'm so grateful I was able to see them in their prime several times. 🍻☮️🇨🇦
I was lucky enough to see them after they released UP and they were fantastic. I hope you can catch them live if they ever reform. Until then we have wonderful a RU-vid vids!
Excelente lisergico video en directo para una de las canciones que más profundo llega, y que es producto de una anécdota. De lo mínimo hasta lo máximo. Muchas gracias, a quién la compuso y canto, y también a quién la subió.
A lot of people seem to think the editing is crap... maybe you haven't seen the real video! Personally, I think they did an excellent job on it giving the impression of a bad frequency with cameras all over the place and the sound is not easy to produce from a live show either! All respect to you Michael for wearing a violent green Irish jersey too 😊
Back in the days you could hit the Masquerade club in Atlanta to see where alot of thes bands, esp the GA guys came from, Talk about a wild night and experience!!
Contrary to popular belief this song is about the forming of the London congestion charge zone. During the consultation period prior to its implementation Livingstone was quizzed about traffic regularity and volumes by an interviewer, who supposedly asked him, 'WHAT'S THE FREQUENCY KENNETH' ?
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen I never understood the frequency, uh-huh You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy" A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth You said that irony was the shackles of youth You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh I never understood the frequency, uh-huh "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh Butterfly decal, rearview mirror, dogging the scene You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth You said that irony was the shackles of youth You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh I never understood the frequency, uh-huh You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh I couldn't understand You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh I couldn't understand You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh I couldn't understand I never understood, don't fuck with me, uh-huh
Yes the camera crew has apologized for that as they had been on an all day Guinness binge which is what is expected on a visit to Ireland, they said never again as they suffered for a week after and it put them off drinking for life.
Paul Murphy, do you have the dvd and could you torrent it? I live in Brazil and there is no way to buy the original here, moreover due to the covid 19 everything that comes from abroad to customs
+therickoshae Tugger the mugger was a person who was disturbed me mentally (or maybe he was more sane than us)...Kenneth would basically be a fictitious character...the guy...the mugger named William Tager said newsmedia beamed signals into his head "....and it was only a matter of figuring out the frequency that he had to block....hence "what's the frequency...Kenneth"....
+therickoshae Dan Rather from CBS was walking in Central Park and this guy William tager thought CBS News was beaming signals to his head when he saw Dan Rathers walking down the street, he ran up and beat the crap out of him, repeatedly requesting the frequency ( Kenneth Whats the Frequency ) of the signals so he can stop them, while addressing Rathers as "Kenneth" for no apparent reason to this date. and then REM made this song
