J. Robbins is one of my all-time rock heroes. His approach to music has been a massive influence on my own musical outlook, and it's fair to say that hard guitar-driven indie rock would not sound as it does today without his many contributions. Tragically, he and his wife Janet Morgan have learned that their new son Callum has Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy, an extremely debilitating and potentially fatal motor neuron disease.
Health care being what it is in the United States, especially for the hard-working, self-employed musician/music producer, the Robbins family will need all the help they can get to provide Callum with the best treatment and quality of life. Please hold them in your thoughts this holiday season.
