As I've begun writing the first two pages of my essay, I noticed a couple of new points that I could make of the song in relation to the California Dream.
The beginning of the song shows us that the singer made an impulsive decision to head out to California in hopes of having a career in Hollywood. The lyrics read: "Got on board a west bound seven forty seven / Didn't think before deciding what to do"(Hammond 1-2).
Also, I noticed that the "rain" in the song is used as a metaphor for the false idea of opportunity and success in California.
My views of the song or of the "Dream" have not evolved or changed in any way.
