Bon Iver is fronted by Justin Vernon, a proud Wisconsinite. La Grange refers to a city in Walworth County, WI, about 4 hours from where Justin grew up. In the dedication of Bon Iver, the album that "Hinnom, Tx" is from, he writes a thank you to "Lucinda Williams for giving us the thickest line in music . . . 'I finally did it baby, I got out of La Grange.'" I think this line refers to the deep longing to get out of small-town Wisconsin and make something of yourself (I should know - I grew up in Walworth County).
