Happy Friday!Every once in a while, something comes along that makes you feel
hopeful—like the power of art is still alive and kicking.That’s exactly what
happened this week when R.E.M., the iconic rock band that practically invented
the indie anthem, stepped back into the spotlight with a modern remix of their
legendary debut, “Radio Free Europe.”

But this isn’t just about music.

It’s about freedom.

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty—an
organization that delivers uncensored news across 23 countries—R.E.M. is
releasing a limited-edition vinyl, with proceeds going directly to support
independent journalism where it’s needed most.

Think about that: a rock band using their platform to stand up for the truth in
an age of rising censorship. 🎸📰

As Michael Stipe puts it, “Music and a free press have something powerful in
common—they both help us understand the world, and they both deserve
protection.”

This is your feel-good moment of the week. It’s nostalgia. It’s activism. It’s a
big warm reminder that voices—yours, ours, everyone’s—still matter.
