\n<\/a>Rosa Parks refused to move to the rear of the bus.<\/p>\n

Foxy Brown refuses to even get on the bus,<\/p>\n

Sadly, I suspect, the average American recognizes the name of acting-out rapper Foxy Brown more than they do civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks.<\/p>\n

As Russian emigre comic Yakov Smirnoff<\/a> likes to say, “What a country!”<\/p>\n

Inga Marchand, 28, who prefers being called Foxy Brown although she is not one of those things and the name Inga Marchand has a perfectly nice ring to it, is in the process of serving a one-year jail term for violating probation skipping court-ordered anger management classes and traveling out of the city without permission.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, with one sentence under way and a second one a good possibility, she refused to get on the bus to go to court for an arraignment as ordered Friday. Twice.<\/p>\n

My sources tell me she was afraid she’d miss meat loaf night in the mess hall, but I haven’t been able to confirm that.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine someone without a gaggle of fans, publicists and recording company executives supporting them refusing to get on the bus to go to court? Twice?<\/p>\n

What did our corrections system do about her refusals? They politely rescheduled her court appearance for next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

I presume that would be more convenient for Ms. Brown. Although, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear she’d acted up again to get her date changed once again, to something closer to Nov. 20.<\/p>\n

Why? That’s when her next album is scheduled for release.<\/p>\n
