A quarter hour later,
naked and no more famous,
weighed down by emotion and expectation,
let down by this great nation,
the tears fall as you call your mother.
Who calls her brother.
Who kills that man, that lowly man.
The virginal Son of Sam.
That part is about a porn star or a former porn star; a woman, and not the speaker? So the speaker isn't famous.
And he can only step back from the world when he's high. And it seems that doesn't do him any good.
I guess that's pretty clear. But only after you said that part was about porn; otherwise it could just be any old thing in general. And fame could mean something else. Who knows in a poem like this.
