The bride's father, director Francis Ford Coppola, walked her down the aisle in a garden ceremony, and several famous family members and friends, such as Nicolas Cage, Jason Schwartzman, George Lucas and Johnny Depp, are said to have been on hand for the festivities.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
