Rufus said he was at a party at Marilyn Manson's house and saw a group of party-goers strip naked. He "fell in love" with one of the streakers.
The "peanut butter and jelly" line is also inspired by that party. It was a big Hollywood type party, but they were just serving peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Hence: "Ain't it a shame that at the top..." they still serve you simple sandwiches.
It's a song about disillusionment, I feel.
Also, I thought it wasn't "surfers" but "thousands suffer."
I don't think Rufus hates California... but there are I guess certain issues with it.
