This song is well done and interesting to listen to, but it's lyrics are too bittersweet and cut too close to the heart - embodying all the dreams gone wrong that we have all had at times. I never tried the California fame bit, but I've got my own memories of poor decisions I wish I could forget. Bet you've got a few, too. There truly is a "boulevard of broken dreams" always lurking for the unwary.
