The poignant lyrics to Paul Simon’s song “America” began curiously sprouting up on decrepit landmarks throughout Saginaw about three months ago.
“Michigan seems like a dream to me now. It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw. I’ve gone to look for America,” Simon wrote in the 1968-released tune.
A Saginaw artist has taken those wanderlust-filled lyrics and painted them as graffiti at various locations in Saginaw, including a soccer goal post at Wickes Park, railroad tracks, abandoned buildings and bridge supports.

Really cool interview with Kyle Hall. Such a down to earth guy! I have to say I was shocked to learn this dude (one of the most talented DJs/producers of the moment) actually has a day job in Detroit teaching kids music.He teaches kids how to make beats.How cool is that?! :)

I’m looking forward to Michigan winters, as perverse as that sounds.
