Patty "Rocks The Blocks" 1996 by Peter Cramer 5 min.

This Super-8 film to video encapsulates the ebulation of demonstrating our free speech rights with a bittersweet reality of the continued struggle for inclusion by lesbians and gays of Irish identity in the St. Patrick's Day parade.
The Gaelic pageantry and pagan revelry among the groups participating in the "Rock The Sham - Rock the Block" events are captured as Judy Garland belts out a rousing, "It's A Great Day For The Irish". Icon Judy reassures us again to keep our chins up with the song from the musical Carousel, "When You Walk Through a Storm". Cheer the lads and lassies from Glenveigh to Glockamora; from Christopher Street to Prospect Park in this green 'n lavender Fifth Avenue Moment.
