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.

“Vigil strange I kept on the field one night;
When you my son and my comrade dropt at my side that day,
One look I but gave which your dear eyes return’d with a look I
shall never forget,
One touch of your hand to mine O boy, reach’d up as you lay on the ground,”

That married the man all tattered and torn”

“What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?”
