read between the lines BOyz.... have a nice day...


Lawyer: Rosa Parks has dementia, can't testif

Rosa Parrks...

DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks has dementia and should not be forced to answer questions in her lawsuit against a record company, her doctor has told a federal magistrate.

Parks, 91, rarely has been seen in public since 2001, when she canceled a meeting with President Bush.

Her lawyers said this summer that she has been in frail health, but Monday's court filing is the first public description of her health problems.

Parks lawyer Gregory Reed confirmed that she has dementia.

'It comes and goes,' Reed said. He said Parks is well cared for and receives care at her Detroit home.

Parks' lawsuit says that the 1998 song 'Rosa Parks' by OutKast violated her publicity and trademark rights and defamed her. It also says that OutKast and record company BMG exploited her name for commercial purposes. OutKast has been dismissed as a defendant.

Lawyers for the defense have asked to interview Parks to explain her claims that she suffered emotional and mental distress because of the song.

Defense lawyers will be able to question Parks' doctor Joel Steinberg about her medical condition in early October.

In an August 16 letter, Steinberg's lawyer said the doctor believes Parks 'cannot testify or participate in any court proceeding' and referred to six pages of supporting medical records, including three medical visits by Parks in 2002 and late 2003.

'Page 1 is a transfer note, undated, which sets forth a number of diagnoses and makes specific reference to the dementia,' lawyer Richard Gianino wrote.

Doctors can trash your reputation on the drop of a hat, and theres nothing you can say...

anyways, don't you own kazaa dude, go download it...

(Hook)
Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us
We the type of people make the club get crunk

Verse 1:(Big Boi)
Many a day has passed, the night has gone by
But still I find the time to put that bump off in your eye
Total chaos, for these playas, thought we was absent
We takin another route to represent the Dungeon Family
Like Great Day, me and my nigga decide to take the back way
We stabbing every city then we headed to that bat cave
A-T-L, Georgia, what we do for ya
Bull doggin hoes like them Georgetown Hoyas
Boy you sounding silly, thank my Brougham aint sittin pretty
Doing doughnuts round you suckas like then circles around titties
Damn we the committee gone burn it down
But us gone bust you in the mouth with the chorus now

(Hook)

I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game
To stimulate then activate the left and right brain
Said baby boy you only funky as your last cut
You focus on the past your ass'll be a has what
Thats one to live by or either that one to die to
I try to just throw it at you determine your own adventure
Andre, got to her station here's my destination
She got off the bus, the conversation lingered in my head for hours
Took a shower kinda sour cause my favorite group ain't comin with it
But I'm witcha you cause you probably goin through it anyway
But anyhow when in doubt went on out and bought it
Cause I thought it would be jammin but examine all the flawsky-wawsky
Awfully, it's sad and it's costly, but that's all she wrote
And I hope I never have to float in that boat
Up shit creek it's weak is the last quote
That I want to hear when I'm goin down when all's said and done
And we got a new joe in town
When the record player get to skippin and slowin down
All yawl can say is them niggas earned that crown but until then till' then
