What do the words "Radio Free Europe" mean to you?

[TheMightyFavog]

End of Line.

[Left Is Write]

1. Interestingly, those words remind me of R.E.M.

[JackBeck]

3. We're on the same page.

You beat me to it. Was about to post the same thing.

[Unvanguard]

5. That's what immediately came to mind for me, too. n/t

[AlCzervik]

[peekaloo]

4. CIA

[Arugula Latte]

6. It reminds me of the feeling I had freshman year in college when I heard the REM song.

That was a great time. :thumbsup:

[enigmatic]

7. R.E.M.

The original 45, which stares at me on my wall as I type...

[AshevilleGuy]

8. My childhood, Ike, the Dulles brothers, the "Iron Curtain".

Stuff like that. RFE had commercials on TV begging people to contribute, to get the TRUTH to those poor captives behind The Iron Curtain. "They can't read their Bibles or go to church, or..".

Beside yourself if radios gonna stay.
Reason: it could polish up the grey.
Put that, put that, put that up your wall
That this isnt country at all

Raving station, beside yourself

Keep me out of country in the word
Deal the porch is leading us absurd.
Push that, push that, push that to the hull
That this isnt nothing at all.

Straight off the boat, where to go?
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free europe

Beside defying media too fast
Instead of pushing palaces to fall
Put that, put that, put that before all
That this isnt fortunate at all

Raving station, beside yourself
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free europe, radio.

Decide yourself, calling all of the medias too fast

Keep me out of country in the word
Disappoint is into us absurd

Straight off the boat, where to go?
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free europe

[SKKY]

10. It seems to me that it means "Free Europe Radio"...

...like a station name or something, but since many European countries (Spain, Italy, etc), would translate
"Free Europe Radio" to "Radio Europa Libre", or something to that effect, it kinda got jumbled when it was
translated to English. Or, maybe I have no idea what I'm saying and I'm just really, really tired.
