Wilco joins host Stephen Kallao

Is there a song that everybody loves that you just don’t get, no matter how hard you try? Well, you are in good company. Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy feels the same way, and on the World Cafe he shares what that song is for him and talks about a whole bunch of other music that has touched his life. Plus, hear a mini concert with material from Wilco’s latest album Cousin.
