Interview with First time author, lawsuit reform activist, musician. Collette McLafferty lived through an unbelievable, yet true, experience and Confessions of a Bad, Ugly Singer is her account of that time. She is a professional musician, and at the time of this experience she was working as a session singer and singing in several tribute bands. but then in 2011, she was hired to sing at one gig in New York in a new P!nk cover band. She was paid $75 for the appearance. Shockingly, a short time later she found herself embroiled in a $10,000,000 lawsuit that ended up consuming her life for a long, difficult time. The lawsuit should have only involved a lawyer and former drummer for Michael Bolton, who brought the suit, and the band leader, who the lawyer claimed stole his idea to form New York’s first Pink tribute band. But the lawyer dragged Collette into it, claiming she “conspired to commit” the theft of his intellectual property. At the time, she barely knew the band leader and had never met the lawyer.

Episode 3: Jeremy Pagirsky Podcast notes:

Info on how sound is perceived by the human ear & brain

Behavioral Neuroscience:“Behavioral neuroscience as a scientific discipline emerged from a variety of scientific and philosophical traditions in the 18th and 19th centuries. In philosophy, people like René Descartes proposed physical models to explain animal and human behavior. Descartes, for example, suggested that the pineal gland, a midline unpaired structure in the brain of many organisms, was the point of contact between mind and body. Descartes also elaborated on a theory in which the pneumatics of bodily fluids could explain reflexes and other motor behavior. This theory was inspired by moving statues in a garden in Paris.”-Wikipedia
