It looks like the producers of her movie are pulling the ol' Elvis Aron(or is it Aaron?) Presley technique. You see, little did you know that EDAs Jon Hamilton(JonBoy911@aol.com) and Kelly Gallagher(Leftychic@aol.com) are also Elvis fanatics. (We actually filmed an MTV episode of Fanatic together, at the gravesite of Elvis. So HA!! Sara(or is it Sarah) isn't the only EDA chosen, but then they decided it was weird that we were asking his headstone questions, so they canned it! But I do have a copy of it, if you have a VHS copy of the Jewel Vatican show then I will trade you this well documented journey of Kelly's and my fanatic experience. I feel so sorry for that young man who was on that episode, who was a fanatic of "Big Sexy" Mike Connell, they decided to can the whole episode, so that won't see the light of day on MTV either.) Anyway...back to my original point. Elvis's first feature film (which was not a classical musical romp such as the high point in his career, Clambake) was ALSO a civil war story. It was ALSO based on a book, and the producers decided to change the title which was originally the same as the book's title to 'Love Me Tender' in order to cash in on Elvis's success. They EVEN had the song Love Me Tender in there TWICE!!! Now, I, along with (ironically enough) Big Sexy Mike Connell absolutely ADORE the song AoF, and I for one would be in heaven if they included it TWICE in the movie of the same name.

January 3, 1999- St. Louis Missouri In the last year of the 90's JonBoy911@aol.com offers something for everyone. He finally updated, and still plans to get a few more treats up their soon. "I thought it was about time for someone to update their page. I mean, Jamie ran off to California, and Mike is too busy getting fat and playing Spades," said JonBoy during a phone interview conducted by me. The hype has died down since the page originally debuted in the summer of 1997. But, the page is even better than it used to be, I suggest that you all check this out!

Or maybe not. Maybe she didn't really want to be that "girl next door" type anymore. Either way, she changed in one way or another. Don't listen to the "Change is bad" thing that the Hershey's ppl are saying. Change is good. Very good. Think about it.... If ppl hadn't changed, we might still be stuck with the "hoo hoo that tickles" craze that the Tickle-Me-Elmo doll started. Scary thought (shudders to think...). The "new" Jewel that we see now is just another part of the Jewel we've always seen before. No, we might not ever hear music from her like the music she put out on PoY, but who says that's horrible? She can still make amazing music regaurdless of who's helping her play it. I didn't buy Spirit because I was afraid I wouldn't like it. And I still don't have it. Maybe I won't like it. Maybe I won't be able to stop listening to it. But either way, I'm still in love with her music for **the lyrics**, not for how the background notes sound. love and stuff Courtney ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
