A documentary based on Andrew McMahon's struggles with leukemia is in the works right now, called Dear Jack: The Journey of Andrew McMahon. Go to the film's website to view a preview along with a synopsis of what it's about.
case and point why andrew mcmahon is the most influential musician if this "scene"
never ceases to amaze me and i am really excited for this documentary.
I just had a realization late last week about how much I truly appreciate Andrew McMahon and everything that he puts into his music. I was listening to North (a criminally underrated album) and then went on Youtube and watched a bunch of live videos and just saw everything that he puts into his music and it just makes me absolutely love him as a person through his music. I don't even know the guy but if he can make music as consistently touching and meaningful as he does, he has to be a truly remarkable individual. I hope this movie truly captures that essence.
His article in the January '08 issue of Alternative Press is incredible.
I highly suggest picking it up as soon as it's available, if you're not a subscriber.
This will be great... will AP be in it for the "I Will Fight" bracelets? I still wear mine every day (even though I've had to superglue it a few times).
