    "comment": "Gil B in Sunnyvale, CA:\n\nIn September I will be “celebrating” one year since I was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma, with tumors in my brain and lung. Hearing those words was overwhelming, not just for me but also for my family, who have stood by me through every step. Together we faced brain surgery, rounds of radiotherapy, and months of immunotherapy that are finally nearing completion. It has been the hardest year of my 49 years, filled with fear, challenges, and uncertainty, but also with the strength and love of those closest to me.\n\nThrough it all, music became one of my most important lifelines. It gave me comfort on the hardest days, lifted my spirits when I felt low, and reminded me to keep moving forward. KEXP has been a big part of that. Your voices, your music, and your energy have kept me hopeful. I am so deeply grateful.\n\n\"Motorcycle Emptiness\" is a song that is dear to me for many years, and I listened to it in the very early hours of the day of my brain surgery. \n\"Positive Vibrations\" by Bob Marley is a song that always reminds me of what's important and raises my spirit, no matter how low it is at that moment.",
