What the hell?



I hadn’t heard about this, that Rosa Parks apparently has sued Outkast over their song called “Rosa Parks”. That’s totally goddamn lame.

    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.

    …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.
