Dear Jack Documentary
Dear Jack (2009) chronicles McMahon's overall battle with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) from diagnosis to remission. McMahon taped every moment of his cancer experiences with a handheld DV camera, from using a lint brush to remove his hair to radiation. He also includes his stem cell transplant (on the day "Everything in Transit" was released), which he received from his very loving sister, Kate. To show his appreciation for his sister, McMahon wrote her the song "There, There Katie," featured on the Dear Jack, EP. Dear Jack is narrated by Tommy Lee.

Famous quotes containing the words dear, jack and/or documentary:
“O Time and Change!—with hair as gray
As was my sire’s that winter day,
How strange it seems, with so much gone
Of life and love, to still live on!
Ah, brother! only I and thou
Are left of all that circle now,—
The dear home faces whereupon
That fitful firelight paled and shone.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“The beast exists because it is stronger than the thing that you call evolution. In it is some force of life, a demon, driving it through millions of centuries. It does not surrender so easily to weaklings like you and me.”
—Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Lucas (Nestor Paiva)
“If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
