Lyric discussion by lucky_guess_rox 

Okay, maybe this song is about Daron's experiences, but I read into it a different way:

Old school... Hollywood... Baseball... OLD SCHOOL HOLLYWOOD BASEBALL! -from the kid who wants to get famous view, it's really all a game, going to Hollywood, getting rich... like how Baseball's a game

Tony Danza cuts in line (Old school Hollywood, Washed up Hollywood) -it must be easy and fast tog get into Hollywood (cuts in line, so he got there faster)

Standing in the sun I'm wasting my time (Old school Hollywood, Washed up Hollywood) -you're wasting your time going to Hollywood to get famous, because you'll just end up like most everyone else who goes there... working in a music store. (as Daron Malakian put it)

Old school Hollywood baseball Jack Gilardi's ten feet tall -people go to hollywood and get famous (at least that's how the media portrays it)

Old school Hollywood baseball Me and Frankie Avalon -people who go to Hollywood will be right up there with the greatest celebrities ever

Standing in the sun I'm about to melt (Old school Hollywood, Washed up Hollywood) -you'll only fall apart if you go to Hollywood, because almost no one makes it.

I have no clue what they mean by "Hey man don't you touch my belt," so I didn't include that.

Anyway, that's just one way of looking at it... the way I look at it!

Aswering the part of "Hey man don't you touch my belt" Tony Danza was a professional boxer between 1976 and 1979.
