What's The Frequency, Kenneth?

I always liked R.E.M.'s song "What's the Frequency, Kenneth", but didn't know there to be an interesting story behind it. Apparently, CBS News anchor Dan Rather was mugged in October 1986, and the assailant asks him this question. Rather had no idea what it meant. Moved by the incident, R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe was inspired to write the song.
