In 1992, New York City based rock 'n' roll band The Spin Doctors released their hit song "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" from their 1991 album *Pocket Full of Kryptonite, *which hit #17 on the pop charts.Virtually everyone at the time assumed the song was written about an ex-girlfriend of frontman and songwriter, Chris Barron. But 27 years later, Barron tweeted the truth;  the song was written about his step-mom, who bullied him, told him he would never amount to anything and he would "die in a gutter."Well Barron use this abuse as fuel for his fire and wrote a song about her.  Here's the tweet that went viral:"My stepmom told me I'd be a janitor [nothing wrong with that] and live in the basement of a school and play guitar for the rats. I wrote a song about her. It's called Little Miss Can't Be Wrong. It's been played on the radio three million time."To stay connected with Better Place Project and for updates and behind the scenes info, please follow us on social media:Website:https://www.betterplaceproject.org/
