Had no idea where to put this,but find it interesting.

High Court: Parks Can Sue OutKast
Dec 8, 12:13 PM EST

Associated Press

The Supreme Court refused Monday to intervene in a lawsuit over the hit song "Rosa Parks" by the Grammy-winning rap group OutKast.

The action, taken without comment from the justices, means the 90-year-old civil rights figure can go ahead with her lawsuit against the band.

The 1998 song is about the entertainment industry and its lyrics do not refer to Parks by name. The chorus of the song goes, "Ah-ha, hush that fuss. Everybody move to the back of the bus."

Parks claimed that OutKast violated her publicity and trademark rights and defamed her. She lost her first round in federal court, but a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati reinstated part of the lawsuit earlier this year.

The case will now return to a lower federal court judge.

Parks wants all references to her removed from future versions of the record.

OutKast has argued that the song is neither false advertising nor a violation of Parks' publicity rights and is protected by the First Amendment.

Parks made history in December 1955 when she was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Ala., city bus. Her arrest triggered a 381-day boycott of the bus system by blacks and led to court rulings desegregating public transportation nationwide.

I had to be out rather late and there was a fog before I got home. It was a creepy feeling. I kept looking around for the vampires.

Good Wednesday morning! Hope everyone is doing OK today. It's not as cold here right now, guess it's getting ready for the rain later.

Hey! Did anyone feel the earthquake yesterday? I didn't. We're in a very old building that shakes, rattles and rolls anyway. Couldn't tell the difference.

I guess I should have added that the earthquake was in Virginia. A big deal for them, maybe not on the west coast.

Mornin' all! Most of you know that yesterday was dd's birthday and that she had to spend it at the gym as she had a basketball game and the freshman are required to stay for the varsity game. Well, I took her balloons and a stuffed animal to her game. I had her teammates from volleyball come with big signs, too. So we embarrassed the heck out of her by singing happy birthday to her, and most of the other parents and students in the stands joined in. It was fun. So she thought I was done, HAH! My dh knows the guy that announces the varsity games, so in the fourth quarter, he announces that today was a special day and he said her name and that she played on the freshman team and wished her happy birthday and then he played the Beatles birthday song for her. The look on her face was priceless! So much fun.

cool ladyt, I love telling my kids to expect me to embarrass them!! :) Some of the men up at camp yell at me to leave my boys alone ~ hah, they think I dont love 'em if I dont visit them and {hu} them, or torture them in some kind, loving way!! (They are counselors at a camp for 8 weeks in the summer, I go up to visit them for a week, while supervising a group of our own younger scouts!!)

Yep, a memory to be proud of!! :) :) :) GO TEAM!

WTG LadyT! LOL, I knew you were a terrific mom.

I'm surrounded by baking supplies, I thought it would be a good day to start making Christmas cookies, I may be wrong, perhaps I'll wait until the oldest two are home from college and then I'll have help with the clean up. LOL!(not to mention the eating)
