Story about this misheard lyric by: Robert Berardi

After art college, it seemed all my friends had moved to New York, while I was stuck in my hometown. When I (mis)heard this Dinosaur Jr. lyric, I said, 'That's it, I'm outta here.' I lived in nyc for 8 and a half years and spent $60,000 on rent before learning the real lyric. Oops.
