We profile filmmaker Alan Parker (1944-2020) and music from his wide variety of song-centric films, including Midnight Express, Bugsy Malone, Fame, Birdy, The Commitments & Mississippi Burning. And with the end of summer looming, we also touch upon the 2020 edition of Vancouver's Victory Square Block Party, now a Watch Party in light of Covid-19.
