We went to Hollywood - a dream - a wish - a disaster. I've always heard that if you want to make it as a musician, you have to move to LA. Well, my band members and I packed our things in our van in Cleveland, Ohio and made our way across the country.

At the time, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were hot... and we listened to their album on repeat for I'd say 90% of the trip. The other 10% of the time we were listening to nothing... so arguably, we were listening to them 100% of the time.

This song captured it for us. We were off to California - and this was our anthem. We covered the song in every set we played when we got to Hollywood. It didn't work out - we broke up the band. But the memories of this road trip I'll never forget.
