When Brian Wilson took to the stage at Lou Adler's Roxy on the Sunset Strip in April 2000, the tiny, 500-capacity venue was filled with love. Friends (Nancy Sinatra, Jackie DeShannon, Don Was), fans (Jon Bon Jovi, Bette Midler, Lindsay Buckingham), and family members (daughters Carnie and Wendy, nephews Jonah and Patrick, wife Melinda) packed into the venue to see the Beach Boys' leader reinvent himself as a solo artist. Though a famously recalcitrant live performer, he'd embarked on his first

Croce, the son of the late singer/songwriter, ahead of a tour he's mounting. Adrian James Croce was eight days shy of turning two when a plane crash claimed the life of his father, then just 30 years old. He has since gone into music himself: hardly a clone of
