Portland-bred "Breakfast Club" star Judd Nelson (above, in shades, a long time ago) was supposed to serve as the Portland Symphony Orchestra's guest narrator on Sunday. Sadly the real-life John Bender will not be able to attend.
The PSO released a statement yesterday saying that because of an injury, Nelson -- whose father once served as the president of the PSO's Board of Directors -- will be replaced for the concert by Peter Wolf, of J. Geils Band fame (below).
Wolf will help the orchestra and the Portland Ballet Company with Stravinsky’s L’histoire du Soldat, the story of a soldier who gives his fiddle to the devil in exchange for secrets about the future of the economy. How timely.
Wolf was most recently seen jamming with Bruce Springsteen at the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show at Madison Square Garden over the weekend.
