There was a moment in 2011 when it felt like Fucked Up would become one of the biggest bands in the world.
That’s the year the Toronto six-piece appeared on the cover of NOW Magazine, part of a media blitz for their third full-length album, David Comes To Life.
That album – a massive-sounding punk rock opera that was ambitious even for them – is turning 10, and the band is celebrating with an anniversary tour in which they’ll play the whole thing in full. That includes two hometown shows at the Great Hall on February 4 and 5 – a benefit for the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (tickets for night one are still available via Not Dead Yet).
I spoke to Josh Zucker, a sergeant at arms with the New York Police Department’s Shomrim Society, a fraternal organization for Jewish men and women in blue. He has worked for the NYPD since 2015, but stressed that in conversation with the Forward, he was not representing the department.
This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
Molly Boigon: How does your Jewish identity shape your work?
Josh Zucker: As Jews, we grow up with a sense of law and order. In my background, I learned Talmud; I learned the bible; I prayed daily. So I definitely get a sense of justice and of law and order from religiosity, from Judaism. It affects the way I police in terms of being evenhanded.
