As Woodward revealed for the first time two weeks ago, a source passed along that information in a "casual" way in mid-June 2003, at least several days before Libby told New York Times reporter Judith Miller about Wilson's wife...

...Gaudio was the Seasons' Brian Wilson: a writer-performer who defined the group's tight-harmony sound but soon tired of the road and stayed home to become a full-time pop composer. The moment in Jersey Boys where the Gaudio character hears Valli and says, "I gotta write for that voice," rings true. Valli, fronting the group's tight, muscular harmony, inspired Gaudio, often in collaboration with Crewe, to create two-minute operas that did a lot within the restrictive pop format...
