RAW impressions with Lou Barlow and Adelle Barlow

Adelle and Lou are back from a trip to Wisconsin with turtles on their minds. Lou does a cold-wave version of Husker Du's 1982 classic What Do I Want but does -not- do a cold-wave version of The Replacements 1983 classic Unsatisfied. He and Adelle discuss it instead.
