Frank Portman had to grow up. The punk pop band he founded in the '80s--the Mr. T Experience--had the kind of long-term niche success that leads to self-doubt and massive credit-card debt.

...Punk rockers in skinny jeans will serenade half-drunk, sweatshirt-wearing football fans in an awkward meeting of the campus music underground and the “Crimson Crazies” crowd at the Harvard-Yale tailgate on Nov. 18. The Harvard College Alliance for Rock and Roll (HCARAR) has snagged a spot at the tailgate, where it will host a five-act battle of the bands, Harvard versus Yale. Part of the tailgate concert’s appeal for HCARAR is introducing both campus’ scenes to a wider segment of the population. “It provides...
