This song is actually a true story, The band showed up to the concert running late because of bad weather and got off their bus at the back of the venue and there was a kid standing in the rain with his head up against the wall listening to the opening act. The band went in and Lou Gramm the lead singer stopped and felt sorry for him because he was so dedicated to hear the concert that he took him in the building and put him in the front row right in front of the stage.... Afterwards they took him backstage and the kid said how he wanted to be a rockstar so bad. The song was written right after.
The part about buying the beat up six string were just referring to him saying he wanted to be a rockstar someday
