for the past 5+ years, my favorite musician has unequivocally been andrew mcmahon. formerly of something corporate, he created jack's mannequin and their first album, everything in transit, has been playing on my ipod, car stereo and in my mind ever since.
andrew was diagnosed with a leukemia in 2005 and has been a huge advocate for the leukemia & lymphoma society. his fight was hard, but he emerged victorious following a bone marrow transplant from his sister, katie. following his diagnosis, he began filming himself and the documentary dear jack was released last year chronicling his journey.
it seems ironic that my favorite music is crafted by a fellow blood cancer patient and that so many of his songs talk about this fight (most notably, the anthem swim). music is a big part of my life and will undoubtedly be a source of comfort and inspiration over the next several months. my jack's playlists will certainly be part of my journey...
