Peter Jeffery

Peter Jeffery is an American musicologist.

Life

Jeffery graduated from the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art, and the Performing Arts, in New York City, and from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York, and from Princeton University with a Ph.D. in Music History in 1980.

He taught at Harvard University, the University of Delaware, and Princeton University, and was in 2014 a professor at the University of Notre Dame.[1]

Lawsuit

On January 25, 1997 Jeffery took his 12-year-old son to a Smashing Pumpkins concert at the New Haven Coliseum in New Haven, Connecticut. He initially planned to wait in a "parents room" but found it was in use by a warm-up act. He joined his son in the concert hall. It was the first rock concert he had attended. Although he wore ear plugs, at the close of the concert his left ear was ringing. He filed a law suit against the band, opening acts Fountains of Wayne and The Frogs, Virgin Records, the Coliseum, the city of New Haven, the ear-plug manufacturer, and the vendor he purchased the ear plugs from.[2][3][4]
