James Gandolfini's 'Not Fade Away' performance honors late father

Daytime at the Roxy nightclub on Sunset Boulevard is like being on a Disneyland ride when the lights go on and the carefully constructed illusion is exposed. It's the slightly surreal setting for James Gandolfini to talk about his recent collaboration with "Sopranos" creator David Chase — the coming-of-age film "Not Fade Away" about a rebellious rock 'n' roll-minded teenager growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s.
