He was all bruised, and he ended the show by raising a fist and saying, "Courage!" He's a character. I met him once in person and because my hair was long, he raised his fist and said to me, "Rock'n'roll forever!"

It refers to an incident in New York City in 1986, where news anchor Dan Rather was the victim of an unprovoked attack by one or two assailants who, between beatings, would ask, "what's the frequency, Kenneth?"[5] (although the phrase Dan Rather says he actually heard was, "Kenneth, what is the frequency?"). One of the assailants has been since identified as William Tager, who attacked Rather because he thought the media had taken control of him. Furthermore, in a 2001 Harper's article ("The frequency: Solving the riddle of the Dan Rather beating") this incident was tenuously linked by Paul Limbert Allman back to the late Postmodern literary giant Donald Barthelme's writings, which contained recurrences of a character named Kenneth and in the text “Kierkegaard Unfair to Schlegel” asks, "What is the frequency?" [6] The phrase "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is also used in Daniel Clowes' surreal comic Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron; it is supposedly used as a formal greeting <b>and a way to contact a mystical figure</b> [emphasys mine]. The phrase occurs in "Final Transmission", the first episode of the 1986 TV series Crime Story. The Beauty Shop Slayer character blurts out the phrase amongst other non-sequiturs whilst slaughtering the customers and staff of a beauty shop in the opening scene."</i><br /><br />And from the William Tager wikipedia page:<br /><br /><i>"William Tager (born November 9, <b>1947</b>) [of course! ;)] <br />[...]<br /> As of 2007[update] he is incarcerated in Sing Sing prison in New York state. Tager was denied parole in 2007, and can reappear before the parole board in October 2010.[1]"</i><br /><br />Maybe something cool will happen in Oct this year :-PRed Pill Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738203580562140501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-78433181362012227202010-01-04T10:50:49.826-08:002010-01-04T10:50:49.826-08:00Here's story:
