What's the backstory behind 6310 Rodgerton? ...anyone know?

04.) 6310 RODGERTON DR.
…was my address in Hollywood for a couple of years (right as Throwing Copper was topping the charts). The house used to belong to Humphrey Bogart in the 40′s. When I leased it, it belonged to Dean Torrence of Jan and Dean (ask your parents, they’ll know who that is) they had a hit, “Dead Mans Curve”. Long story short, the house burned down with my brother and I inside. I was hurt bad and wonder to this day how I didn’t die in that house. All my crazy burns healed, no scars. Just the crystal clear, vivid memory of shock and not hearing myself scream.

After telling this story to Jerry Harrison he said “that’s what this song is about”. I had already written the chorus with the word Fire being used metaphorically but to be honest, I was apprehensive about revealing this wound in such an intimate way. But once we started writing the first verse, it became something cathartic. Something I’ve needed to do for almost 20 years. I’m quite proud of this one.

This song is about the things you go through in order to arrive where you are in your life and how no one can really know, exactly, what it took for you to get there. It took fire.
