A2: UP Memories

For Zach London’s Hard Taco Project, he writes and records an original song every month, and he’ll keep doing that until he dies. The Hard Taco Digest is a essay that accompanies the release of a each new song. In November’s Digest, London draws a possible connection between his theft of candy and any Antisemitism that might exist on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. With tongue planted in cheek as firmly as a piece of gummi candy, London begins: “Like most small towns, Houghton, Michigan didn’t have a particularly robust Jewish community in the early 1980s.” [Source]
