Jacks Mannequin

Andy McMahon of Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate

9/23/10 update: Chicago will be hosting their Light The Night walk to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and FUSE TV will be airing DEAR JACK this saturday night

going to see him in concert 4/23/10

this is so fitting because today 3/30/10 in RI we had over 16" of rain, the worst flooding in decades!

"You gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music
That saves you
When you're not so sure you'll survive
You gotta swim
Swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven't come this far
To fall off the earth
The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fire at me from a gun
Cracking the armor, yeah
I swim to brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
I swim..."
-lyrics from "Swim" Jack's Mannequin
