Jackalope Tales – Signed, Sealed, Screwed
Welcome to Jackalope Tales, the podcast where music myths, legends, and label lies come to life. In this episode, Signed, Sealed, Screwed, we dive into the devil’s fine print—the kind that turned platinum records into lifelong prison sentences for the very artists who made them.
Charles tells the truly absurd tale of John Fogerty, the man who was literally sued for plagiarizing himself after losing the rights to his own songs. Yes, Creedence Clearwater Revival’s frontman had to stand trial for sounding too much like… Fogerty.
Lisa takes us into the purple labyrinth of Prince, the icon who spent decades battling Warner Bros. over ownership of his music. From face tattoos to name changes to scrawling “slave” on his cheek, Prince didn’t just fight back—he made rebellion an art form.
From courtroom battles to contractual curses, this one’s for every artist who’s ever signed the dotted line… and then watched it bleed.
[EP 95]
