Huh, I never read too much into it but it definitely sounds like that might be the case.

This Billboard article from the time of the 2005 legal settlement mentions:

"The settlement ends a legal dispute that some of Parks’ own relatives had criticized, saying she wouldn’t have minded the use of her name in the song “Rosa Parks” had she not been mentally impaired. "

...

"After that lawsuit was filed, some of Parks’ relatives began questioning her well-being and the actions of her caretaker and the lawyers who filed the suit, and alleged she is probably unaware of the lawsuits."

So perhaps while she did technically live long enough to sue OutKast, she was suffering from dementia at the time and it's possible that she was unaware of the actions taken in her name.

The more you know!

Id be amazed if a single commenter in this whole thread has worked in hospitality in any capacity, let alone waiting tables.

Most of these comments make me wonder if the poster has ever even once had a good night out at a nice restaurant.

Disclaimer: I live in a country without a serious tipping culture. But still...

I've posted about this before but Rosa Parks lived long enough to sue OutKast in 1999 over their use of her name in their song 'Rosa Parks'.

The conclusion id jump to is that they were going in there to do some drugs.

Like everyone else Journey was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Id give a shout-out to Death Stranding, too. The game is far from perfect but it's basically a hiking simulator which I find soothing. You also carry things so you could say it's uplifting in the literal sense haha!

Fun fact certain pasta dishes use the pasta water as an ingredient. Cacio e pepe for example!

Saw it in the botanic gardens at Williamstown and thought it looked nice.
