I was not told if the winner will have a scene with Jewel. (Seems likely to me though) All Jewel list members (world-wide) subscribed to Jewel, Jewel-digest or Jewel-news as of this very moment are eligible. All you have to do is send a postcard to the address below, postmarked by and including Friday April 10th....only one entry per person/address. The winner will be chosen at random on Friday April 17th, and announced on the lists on the 18th. Foreign entries get your entries in early!! :-) To enter, send your postcard to: Jewel Movie Part PO Box 1998-J April Fools, I got ya!!!! Yeah....I'm a baaaad boy....it was a joke.... My mailbox can handle it (the replies ;-) Lemme have it. :-) I'm ready. Mike, Jewel list owner - (just having some fun & who hopefully has not just blown his credibility to bits ;-) P.S. To all list members not from Canada or the USA, who may not know....a tradition in these parts (I have no idea if this is world wide) is April Fools Day. The premise is that on the first day of April, it's common to pull a harmless joke/prank on someone or a group, the most common of which is to trick them into believing something that's not true, and (if nice) to reveal the fact that it's a prank shortly after pulling the stunt, by shouting "April Fools!!!". At times you may see a prank/joke of a larger scale (and also quite believable) where the fact that it is a joke is not revealed for a while. P.P.S. If I was REALLY daring, this joke would have been a fake Jewel & Jean Claude Van Damme wedding announcement ;-) * If you are new to the Jewel list and need a helping hand * The Jewel EveryDay Angels List Homepage & Guide is at: * http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup * * If you have list related questions, feel free to email me * at Ducksoup@spectra.net * * DuckofPrey@aol.com WhyADuck55 on AOL Instant Messenger From owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Sat Apr 4 01:13:26 1998 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/jewelq-jane) id BAA07094 for jewel-news-outgoing; Sat, 4 Apr 1998 01:12:37 -0500 (EST) Received: from spectra.net (root@blue.spectra.net [204.177.130.1]) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/daemon-mode-relay2) with ESMTP id BAA07090 for ; Sat, 4 Apr 1998 01:12:30 -0500 (EST) Received: from ducksoup.spectra.net (pm95-131.spectra.net [204.177.131.95]) by spectra.net (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id BAA29244 for ; Sat, 4 Apr 1998 01:09:59 -0500 Message-Id: <199804040609.BAA29244@spectra.net> X-Sender: ducksoup@spectra.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0 Date: Sat, 04 Apr 1998 01:09:54 -0500 To: jewel-news@smoe.org From: Mike Connell Subject: Jewel-News: if you've been ripped off trading tapes, PLEASE READ! Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Hi everyone :-) This is for anyone who has been ripped off semi-recently in a tape trade with another list member. I just had a nearly two and a half hour AOL chat with a guy who has been accused by some Jewel list members of ripping them off, and the intent of this email is to see if anyone else claims to have been ripped off by the same person. I will call him Pete, which is NOT his real name. Pete claims *his* innocence, and is pretty sure that a member of his household is behind this. I am NOT proclaiming Pete's innocence or guilt, I am just trying to set up a better line of communication between him and any folks claiming to have been ripped off, so they can talk (email) in a peaceful and civilized manner. This is the plan. Anyone out there (including the ones who have contacted me about this) that have been ripped off by someone who has/had any of the following email addresses: thickjoe@aol.com girrlyman@aol.com duckofsuck@aol.com should reply to this email *privately* to ME, please don't write Pete....let's handle it this way. Pete has spent well over two hours on this with me, it shows me he wants to deal with this properly. I just want you to briefly tell me that yes, you've been ripped by someone from one or more of those email addresses above, if in fact you have. I don't want any major details or stories, just the fact that you've been ripped by "Pete". I will then send the email addresses of the victims to Pete and he plans to write each and every one of them. (However, please note, due to a trip, Pete may not be able to write back for about two weeks.) I will also reply to each victim who writes me. IMPORTANT: If you've been ripped off by someone else in a trade or dub, PLEASE don't write me about it now. I am planning something to deal with this kind of situation for list members, and *hope* to post about it within two to three weeks.

Dressing respectfully and singing our anthem _as written_ should be mandatory conditions for anyone chosen to sing it publicly. Who picks these losers anyway? ---Vickie Munden, Crowley, Tex. A: The singer at the Super Bowl is selected by the National Football League. The "loser" who performed this year was Jewel Kilcher, 23, a pop star from Alaska whose debut album went platinum. (You obviously didn't buy it.) She decided at the last minute to lip-synch along with her prerecorded version, as some others have done at past Super Bowls, because it's almost impossible to sing the ovtave-stretching "Star-Spangled Banner" over the roar of thousands of fans in a packed stadium. Jewel missed her opening cue but caught up with the music. "I don't think I did great," she admitted later. It can happen to the best of them.

In the world of ultra-cool coups, it's hard to top that of Chris Seferyn and Joe Guminger. The partners have landed pop singer Jewel for an intimate cincert Saturday night at their electic Liquid Lounge, 333 Southwest Blvd. "It's actually going to be a benefit for the Make-a-Wish foundation," Seferyn says. And an 15-year-old girl gets her wish. How the Lounge Lizards landed the act: "She came to us,"Seferyn says. "She picked it because she wanted someplace cool." Jewel sightings in the Cowtown have been scarce, even though the singer has been in the area for several weeks working on her movie debut in Ang Lee's "Ride With the Devil" (formerly titled "To Live On") Tickets to the benefit concert also are likely to be scarce. She nearly sold out Memorial Hall last year and her CD sales have been brisk. Tickets are $15, sold only at the door. NO ADVANCE. Good Luck.

As you all know she is ther filming her movie. She played at a small club called the Liquid Lounge. It was for the "Make a Wish Foundation" which is an organization that helps grant the wish of sick children in the KC area. In this case it was a 15 year old girl whose only wish was to see Jewel. Needless to say she made a lot of peoples dreams come true. The first thing she did when she got on stage was ask for some fingernail clippers. She trimmed her nails and called some guy "sick" when he asked for the clippings. :) She was sarcastic all evening. The played a bunch of stuff on the upcoming album including "Silver Lining" with her brother Atz on harmonica. This was her first show since arriving in KC but hopefully it won't be her last.

FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. MY PLANE LEAVES ON 16 APRIL 1998. if you aren't interested do not read further. Dear EveryDay Angels, Last year I was able to tape a Jewel special aired on MTV Asia prior to her Asian tour. Jewel Live & Intimate was a broadcast from Canada to Asia. When I first offered it, over 20 people responded. Now that it is ready, I have a few extra copies. Jewel yodels, sings, answers questions (one of the first times she mentions her movie with Ang Lee). I have already reserved a copy for Mr. BB. To bring costs down, maybe somebody in the US can make 3rd generation copies. A big problem for me was figuring out how to get the tapes out securely and cheaply. I am leaving for a quick vacation to Hong Kong. HK has a more reliable postal service so I will send the tapes from there. The tape cost the equivalent of about US $2.70, the taping cost about another US$ 3.50. Don't know the shipping costs yet because I am not yet in HK. But it will surely be cheaper than anything I could arrange from the Philippines. I don't know how I will get reimbursed for this yet. The important thing is to make sure that the tapes get to you securely and quickly. In a few months I might be able to open a dollar account in a local bank so can do money transfers, or send me a check through my sisters or something. Any ideas?

My name is Mike Connell and I manage/own the Jewel and Patty Griffin mailing lists here at smoe.org. My purpose for writing you today is to ask for your assistance in a project/fund raiser to help keep smoe.org up and running for many more years to come. A gentle bloke by the name of Jeff Wasilko owns smoe.org, and while he does have a merry band of smoe-elves to help him in various tasks in operating the system, Jeff has always paid the monthly operating costs (NOT a small penny) and of course had paid for the expensive equipment it presently runs on. He has always offered this service for free since day one....no user fees....no list owner fees...totally free :-) Many of your favorite artists and their fans have benefited from this service, as smoe.org hosts lists for such artists as Happy Rhodes, Paula Cole, Jewel, Patty Griffin, Tori Amos, Thomas Dolby, Poe, Susan Werner, Leah Andreone, Luscious Jackson, Ben Folds Five, Maria Callas, the Indigo Girls, Shawn Colvin and many, many more. Some of these once unknown artists, and more to come I'm sure, had their internet presence begin right here at smoe.org :-) For a complete list of which artists have mailing lists hosted at smoe.org, you can go to http://www.smoe.org/lists At the present moment Jeff is looking into replacing the hardware smoe.org operates on with more modern equipment, as the present workhorses are a pair of seven year old SUN Sparc stations. Being seven years old is pretty much dinosaur age in computer terminology (smoeasauruses?), and these systems are acting older than their age. This replacement is necessary to get newer and better equipment in place before the present smoe.org falls down and goes boom permanently, leaving the lists at smoe.org temporarily without a home :-) As you might imagine, this replacement is going to cost a pretty penny. On other list servers this would be no problem, as money would be used from the user fees. However since such fees don't exist here at smoe.org, we are asking for your help in the form of donations. We are not asking for buku bucks here, just whatever you can give, whether it be $1, $2, $5, $10....whatever. You can send a check, a money order, or if a buck or two or three you can send cash (that is your choice) If you can't afford anything, don't sweat it, this is NOT mandatory. We are just asking for you to help out if you can. Money orders are a piece of cake. (At least in the USA) They don't have a large fee at all, generally less than a buck, sometimes as low as 35 cents....although money orders from banks usually carry a larger fee (go figure ;-) Your best bet for a money order (in the USA) would be from the US Post Office....all money orders there have an 85 cent fee no matter what the dollar amount of the money order is. *** All checks or money orders should be made out to Jeff Wasilko :-) FOREIGN (Non-USA) LIST MEMBERS: I'm not sure at all what is the best method for you folks. We are open for suggestions. I know that the USA Post Offices cash Canadian Postal money orders, so no problem there, Jeff can cash them there. Of course, any foreign cash sent in can easily be exchanged at a bank. From what he told me, his bank has a 15$ surcharge on any overseas money order cashed, so this option is out. If you have any ideas, please write me and I'll discuss the best ones with Jeff and mention them in a follow up post to all the lists next week. ********************** HOW TO DONATE: ********************** Simple :-) Just send what you want (no Monopoly money please) to me at Mike Connell PO Box 1206 Binghamton NY 13902-1206 and I'll tally up all the figures etc and send it all on to Jeff :-) Remember, please make out all checks or money orders to Jeff Wasilko In your envelope, please include a note that contains your full name, the list(s) you belong to, and your email address you use here at smoe.org Please help in this mission to give smoe.org a new home :-) If you have any questions, please feel free to write me and ask.

I posted about this a couple weeks ago, but... We all know the wonder of what brings us, especially these email list-communities, so close together. A big part of it is the music we share with each other, not only the main interest in the musician around whom the list is built, but the musicians we share with each other. It seems pretty amazing, to me, that within the past few years (MMers and ITWers, I say "past few years" since the Jewel list is a few years old...), we have turned each other on to The Rugburns, Steve Poltz, Gregory Page, Lisa Sanders, Mary Dolan, Elizabeth Hummel, Cindy Lee Berryhill, Joy Eden Harrison, Sarah Slean, Patty Griffin, Tara MacLean, Emm Gryner, Dayna Manning, The Devlins, Jann Arden, Chantal Kreviazuk, Ellis Paul, Jonatha Brooke, and the list continues into what seems like a musically blissful eternity. That's a lot of music to absorb in the short time that things have been "up and running" (thank you so much to the amazing people like Justin, Mike Connel, and Jeff Wasilko who own and manage these lists...), and it seems like, in general, there is so much music and so little time to experience it all. But, about a year ago, something happened which changed all that. Who knew that two musicians stranded in Boston who said "hey let's play for some people since we can't play at our scheduled and now cancelled concert" would start something so amazing. Who knew that these two omen, Cindy Lee Berryhill and Elizabeth Hummel, through the amazing hospitality of The Snyder Family, would stir such an uproar and such an excitement that whole living room tours have been organized and produced all over this country. The funny thing about it all, well, is that it all makes sense. In a time when musicians have such fierce competition, it makes sense to bring the music to the people. It makes sense to share, so openly, your art with a bunch of people who care about music so much that they turn each other on to new artists (seemingly) every single day. These people are the fans the musicians want...the ones who care, the ones who will spread the word, the ones who are loyal, the ones who undertand the ultimate importance of doing what you *love* and who want to listen to a musician not because he or she is on the stage cuz he or she happened to be lucky enough to stuff the venue so much that he/she is allowed to play there, but because this musician is doing what is so important that it makes the person animated...and alive. These are the fans the musicians want. This is the honesty that the fans seek in the musicians, the stuff that gives a particular musician an edge over the rest of the bunch that is trying to "make it big." This is the tradition which is continuing and continuing. This is what I share with you. On May 2, just one week after Chris Snyder's Living Room concert, I am holding one in my own beautiful comfortable living room. The tradition continues. The energy created by the tradition has filled my air, and all I can say...wel...is that I love it! The tradition has a twist, though. This past year, the "pioneers" of the Living Room Concert tradition have been those many beloved San Diego artists. Now, I want to give you all a taste of East Coast music. The future of musical folklore is not only of San Diego, it's of the whole world! I feel very honoured. Two amazing women and incredible musicians, Jody Blackwell of the Boston Scene and Jenny Bruce of the New York scene, will be in my house, performing for all of you. Their voices are amazing, and their music is so touching...it's like you listen to them and some sort of a vocal fairy dust is sprinkled all over your soul. Please, come check it out! I am still trying to see if a couple more musicians can come so I can share with you some of the music I love so much. =) Well, this has been a lot to read, so here is the low-down... What: Living Room Concert Where: My house, 76 Boston Avenue, West Medford, MA When: Saturday, May 2, 1998 Time: TBA, but most likely around 7 PM/8 PM Who Invited: All of you! And plase do no feel shy to bring friends Admission: There is a MINIMUM suggested donation of $10, all proceeds go DIRECTLY to the musicians who split it all equally RSVP: ASAP!!!!! =)) (781) 483-1796 kartalst@hugse1.harvard.edu poetchyck@yahoo.com ***This is a DRY/ALCOHOL FREE event*** PLEASE remember to bring extra money. Remember, if you like what you hear so much, you can always slip in some extra cash into the Admission jar... ...or, even better, you can buy Jody's and Jenny's (and if anyone else comes, whoever else's) CD! Jody's 6 song EP is called Volcano and is absolutely incredible. Jenny's 10 song LP is self-titled and touches one of the most beautiful spots inside me. Come and listen to both, and you will understand why it's so hard to choose a favourite that both have to play at the same concert! AND, sleeping space in my house is *INCREDIBLY* limited, and many spots have already been taken (first dibs went to musicians, YAY, and right after my last posting, floor space has more or less been taken...), so this is the time to buddy up with your Boston friends/acquaintances and snag some floor space with them! I hope that as many of you as can posibly come will come. The music is incredible, and the combination of music and good friends is so incredibly worth it. Y'all stay beautiful... love you all Stephanie Stephanie Maria Kartalopoulos We should be very greatful to have a kartalst@hugse1.harvard.edu limited body..like mine or like The Greek Poet Chyck yours.

I also read the book the movie is based on ("Woe, To Live On" by David Woodrell). The basic storyline revolves around young soldiers who originally began fighting to protect their beliefs & families, but eventually resorted to horrible cruelty & senseless violence during one of the worst/bloodiest times of the Civil War. So the title change does make sense in that respect. Jewel's character, Sue Lee Shelly, is a strong, very independant, fearless frontier woman (kinda like her grandmother Ruth was, in real life). She brings inspiration to the two main characters & ultimately brings insight about life & redemption to the main character. I think this is a role perfectly suited to Jewel's sensibilities & style. Its obvious to me what appealed to her about it. :-) MrBB From owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Fri Apr 17 01:34:40 1998 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/jewelq-jane) id BAA18894 for jewel-news-outgoing; Fri, 17 Apr 1998 01:25:49 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199804170525.BAA18894@smoe.org> To: Jewel-News@smoe.org From: ABershaw@aol.com Date: 16 Apr 98 21:49:34 -0800 Subject: Jewel-News: MrBB-Jewel's KC Setlist/Lilith Fair/CLB in MA 5-17 Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, Several things: 1) The setlist for Jewel's Kansas City "Make A Wish Foundation Benefit from Saturday Night: 4/11/98 Liquid Lounge, 333 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO -Near You Always -Pieces of You -Stranger Enter from the East -Satellite -Last Dance Rodeo -Nicotine Love -Love Me Just Leave Me Alone -Carnivore -Silver Lining (w/Atz Kilcher,Jr. on harp) -Sometimes It Be That Way -Fragile Flame -Who Will Save Your Soul -Chime Bells 2) Lilith Fair--Several people have written asking about this since the lineups were announced tonight.

(she's singing with her dad) Mike :-) ****************** Note, this interview was from May 1997 Interview with Jewel by Chris Mundy Within two days you catch a glimpse of what her life was and what it has become. Tuesday afternoon, Jewel's hotel room: She is alone, barefoot and cross-legged on the king-size bed, guitar in hand, belting out a tune she wrote just yesterday. As she sings, Jewel closes her eyes and disappears somewhere within the song. When she finishes, she smiles broadly, rocks forward until her head hits the mattress and then bounces back as if she is taking a private bow. Thursday afternoon, NBC studio 8H: Jewel sits up straight in a makeup chair at a rehearsal for Saturday Night Live while one woman applies eyeliner and a second awaits the chance to coif her hair. As they work, Jewel simultaneously approves the promotional items her publicist hands her and speaks to a manager via cell phone. Luckily, as she points out, she is a Gemini and feels comfortable living in two different worlds. What is most striking is how peacefully the dual lives coexist, mostly because Jewel does not so much adjust to other people's realms as invite everyone else into her own --- to the point where those around her adopt her mannerisms. She giggles at one moment, spouts romantically the next ("Poetry is the snakeskin of the soul," she says. "You're going to watch my evolution"), and she asks a litany of questions "What's your middle name? What's your sign? What's your favorite food and why? " of whomever is near. Jewel's defining characteristic, in fact, is her knack for remaining equal parts curious and at ease, like a kid enjoying the field trip that has become her life. "This is my life now," Jewel says. "The amount I'm getting out of it personally and what I'm learning has made me grow by leaps and bounds. I'm greedy with that." At the moment, it is the business of being Jewel that beckons. She is in New York not only to perform on SNL but also to tape an episode of MTV Unplugged, for which the usually solo Jewel will be accompanied by more musicians than she has ever played with in her life. Between the two, she'll take the time for two in-depth discussions. The only problem is that Jewel is not interested in retelling her vivid, albeit short, life story. "I don't think it's for people to understand," she says by way of explanation. "I come across like a cartoon character in print." Then again, not really. A 23-year-old Alaskan folk singer who has been yodeling onstage since the age of 7 and who within six months went from living in her car to signing a deal with Atlantic Records is too far-fetched to be believable. Even cartoon writers know enough to script their heroes out of mundane realities. How would Spiderman feel if his boyhood got more attention than his ability to scale buildings? A little fed up, if Jewel's reaction is any indication. When you first meet her in the lobby of her hotel, you offer a hand. "Ah," she says, sizing you up, "the predator." You get the feeling that things have not started well. What you expected was Jewel Kilcher, the naive girl whose father, a folk musician, and mother, a glass sculptor, divorced when she was 8, leaving Jewel and her two brothers to forge a pioneer existence on their father's 800-acre homestead in Homer, Alaska. At the time, Jewel spent her days milking cows and her nights reading poetry or singing at bars with her father. As a teen-ager, she was briefly adopted by an Alaskan Native American tribe; moved for a short time to Hawaii; moved back to live with her mother in Anchorage; attended Interlochen, an arts school in Michigan; then wandered around the country for six months, eventually settling with her mother in San Diego, where she waitressed and sang in a coffeehouse. The person you first meet, however, is more the road-weary traveler who has been promoting her debut album, the quadruple-platinum Pieces of You, at times at a rate of 40 shows every 30 days, since its release back in 1995. Since that time, Jewel has gone from watching her record go virtually unnoticed for more than a year to scoring back-to-back hits with "Who Will Save Your Soul" and "You Were Meant For Me." Now, with the album firmly tacked in the top 10, Jewel has flashed the nation (when she showed up at the Grammys in a dress that appeared to be made of saran wrap), has been requested by the first daughter to play at the presidential inauguration and has parlayed a one-off stage performance as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz into her first movie lead. Not to mention that the prolific Jewel recorded an album's worth of songs last July, a few of which will come out on her next release. In short, Jewel is tired. She is tired of the schedule, but mostly she is tired of reading depictions that make her past sound less like the romantic childhood she remembers than something akin to the Unabomber's. "You can't tell a whole life story, even if you've lived it," explains Nedra [Carroll], Jewel's mother. "As soon as you start pulling out pieces, it looks like something else. There's a tendency to focus on the more dramatic. The natural flow of things gets lost." For her part, Jewel finally settles into the interview process, albeit slowly. She is sweet and friendly, although often guarded, armed with questions of her own in order to sidetrack the interrogation. After two days, she articulates her fears. "I'm very leery of creating a gap between me and any person that's going to read this." she says. CM: Why would you create a gap? JK: What someone gets out of the way I lived my life can be immediately diminished by them thinking that I'm a phenomenon. I'm not a phenomenon. I didn't think I was this talented. It wasn't until I really decided, talent or no talent, I have to do what makes me feel like a real person. I would be absolutely useless onstage if people looked at me like a phenomenon. It makes me so scared that I could cry right now. CM: How can I get a sense of your childhood that you're comfortable with? JK: Look at it like a science project. I was spared a lot of media. I was spared a lot of fear talk. I'm aware now how affected I am when I hear on the news how violent we are, how we can't trust our religious or political leaders. That affects your ability to interact as a person. I was spared that and instead given a natural curiosity about life. CM: Did growing up on the homestead also give you the strong work ethic you have now? JK: I'm able to focus mercilessly for a long time because I was trained to do that at a young age. However, it's not like I worked this hard waitressing. I can work this hard because I had one shot at this. I really thought I would live in a car or probably have an apartment, but I thought I would live on that level my entire existence. I was given a shot and it all fell on my shoulders. I'm glad it did, because I knew I could do something about it. CM: You and your mom lived side by side in vans for a while. Why? JK: We could have gotten an apartment. It was a decision to do that, it was freedom. An apartment allows you freedom. And then you go get in your van and drive somewhere. If I could afford an apartment, I couldn't afford a car. If I could afford to pay rent, I couldn't afford food. I'm not exaggerating. So you can imagine that having that burden gone was tremendous. CM: Where did you park it? JK: I found a favorite spot that was near a little flowering tree. I pulled my van up close so the tree hit the window and nobody could see in. And you light candles and you read at night. CM: What about running water, a bathroom? JK: I grew up without all that. It wasn't a difficult thing for me or my mom. Running water? Who cares? CM: You've said you were lost at that point. What helped you turn the corner? JK: My mom kept challenging me. I'd say, "I have to go to school," and my mom kept saying, "What do you want? What does your spirit say?" Finally I said, "I know what I want. I want to sing until people never feel alone." And when I said that, she said, "OK." CM: Did you realize your spiritual side on your own, or is it from your parents? JK: It's picked up from a lot of people. The American Indian thing had a big influence on me. CM: What was that about, anyway? JK: [Laughs] That's what I'm talking about with me as a cartoon. I went to a gathering when I was 16. You adopt the Indian way. Everybody is your uncle or aunt. CM: How seriously did you take it? JK: It was serious for a while, but then it lost its' usefulness. CM: How has the dynamic with your mom changed now that she doesn't have to worry about you? JK: Our energies are less focused on surviving, so we can put our energies more into creating. Too much of our flesh is wasted on survival. CM: You speak in proclamations, almost religious pronouncements. JK: I don't understand. CM: Oh, I don't know...how about: "Too much of our flesh is wasted on survival"? JK: It's because I'm a writer. It's probably from reading so much at a young age that my brain is shaped in a certain pattern. CM: You had dyslexia as a child. Did that hurt your confidence? JK: Mostly, having dyslexia made me feel like I would never be interested in life again. I used to love reading when I was little, and then it became difficult and I didn't understand why. I thought, what a bummer, my passion all drained out of me. So when I found out I had dyslexia it was like, oh, that's what it was. CM: Your parents got divorced when you were at a critical age. Were you confused about which parent to live with? JK: [Very quietly] It was joint custody. I couldn't have chosen. None of us could choose. You love both your parents; there's no way to choose. It's unthinkable. CM: Are you close to your father? JK: Yeah. He went to the Grammys with me. He toured with me and taped VH1's Hard Rock Live with me. The last time I was onstage with him, I was looking up at him because I was so much littler. And then to have him on my stage with my crowd...it was staggering. CM: When you were onstage as a little kid, did you ever resent not having a choice? JK: I always had a choice. I really did. People always think, "Oh, an 8-year-old in a bar," but it wasn't like that. I didn't feel unsafe. It was more family-restaurant bars. My brothers didn't do it. I was the one that liked to practice five hours a day. CM: Was it out of boredom? JK: It definitely wasn't a boredom thing. I loved it. I feel most myself when I sing. I constantly skip around my hotel room going, "I'm a writer. That's what I do. I write." CM: A lot of people accuse you of writing songs that are derivative, but you've said you didn't hear the radio growing up. Is the truth somewhere between those two things? JK: Probably. Who cares anyway? Derivative? I don't think they are. CM: There's part of "Little Sister" that is more Joni Mitchell than Joni Mitchell. JK: I'd never heard Joni Mitchell before I did my album. I'd heard a lot of Bob Dylan, Ella Fitzgerald. I wasn't raised in a vacuum --- I did hear things on the radio, but I didn't have a tape player. I've never been a real music fan. I'm odd that way. But the people I love, I totally studied. I studied Jennifer Warnes until I could do her voice perfectly. CM: How can you grow up not hearing Joni Mitchell but reading Pablo Neruda? JK: Books are much easier to get ahold of. [And] I can't stand listening to music. [Laughs] Isn't that weird? It's just not a habit. I don't like the noise. [Laughs] I do like beautiful cello concertos or Rickie Lee Jones albums. But it's nothing I do when I come home. CM: Who teaches you about different bands? JK: My friend Steve from the Rugburns has been instrumental. I'd never heard the Replacements, I'd never heard the Beatles' White Album. He sat me down and had what he called Jewel 101 classes. [Laughs] CM: You two used to go out; isn't that hard? JK: Not at all, not with me and Steve. We just dig each other a lot. CM: Then why don't you go out now? JK: It's not meant to be that way. It's not always about sex. We write incredible songs together. It makes me get goosebumps. CM: When you went out with Sean Penn, were you worried that you'd be overshadowed by his celebrity, that you'd be "the singer who goes out with Sean Penn"? JK: Not at all. God, I don't get overly caught up in what people are going to think or not think. Whatever. CM: You don't seem comfortable with that question. JK: No, I'm not into that one. CM: Do you have to be extra-careful trusting who you have around you now? JK: I don't think about that. These things you're talking about aren't part of my daily life. CM: Aren't they part of this new reality that you're in? JK: I think how you deal with it spiritually is much more important. CM: So how do you deal with it spiritually? Have you turned to other artists for advice? JK: For certain things, I do. I don't know many people who have emotionally handled [fame] well. I think Flea has handled it well. CM: Flea? I wouldn't expect you to hang out with Flea. JK: Ah, what I am now has little to do with what I will become. CM: What will you become? JK: Many things. This is just the tip of the iceberg. That album --- I was 19 and had been writing for only a year and a half CM: Is it strange to have it out there? JK: I didn't expect anyone to hear it. It was a time capsule of me at 19. It's like a jalopy winning the Indy 500. CM: What's the biggest difference between you now and you then? JK: Well, I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is, the refinement of your soul through time. CM: Can you burn out on the number of people swarming around you? JK: You talk your guts out. Your nerve endings are shot and you're totally useless as a human being. But you need to adjust to the lifestyle. My whole goal is to keep my spirit intact --- if that doesn't happen, none of this is worth it. Let's face it, fame isn't that fun. I'd rather go home. CM: How do you balance being sweet and being a survivor? JK: It's one thing I'd like to say to women: Be brave in your living. You can be sexy and spiritual. You can be seductive and innocent. You can be wise yet incredibly naive. CM: But men have it easier because they run things more. Women have less of a support system. JK: That's true. That whole thing with the Grammys was hilarious. The dress. CM: Then again, if you didn't see what that dress looked like, you're the only woman in America who gets dressed without looking in the mirror. JK: But I wasn't backlit in the hotel room. You're in a dress, you feel like an angel. I didn't have an entire spotlight up my ass. [Laughs] I still haven't looked at the videotape. CM: The music industry wants to play up a woman as a sex symbol no matter what. JK: That's very tough. As liberated women, sex has been our power. CM: But it's helped you a lot. JK: I think it's definitely helped, but it's also helped Jakob Dylan a lot, too. Sex sells. However, I think it's been easier for men to be taken seriously as intellectuals and be good-looking at the same time. CM: Do you ever imagine yourself five years from now? JK: Yeah. I hope to be in other arts fields by then. Movies. I definitely want to have a poetry book by then. CM: What questions are you not asked that you'd like to address? JK: I'm going to go off on a tangent. I never thought that so many people would lend themselves to my dream. Because I lived with such hopelessness for such a long time that I thought it would kill me. You can't live with hopelessness. CM: I thought things were difficult but you were hopeful. JK: During a certain phase it got to the point, when I was 18, just before I lived in my car, why was I going to continue. CM: Continue playing or continue living? JK: Continue living. I wouldn't say I was suicidal, but I became consciously aware that I could not face time anymore. I think a lot of kids get to that place. You think "What the fuck is the point? To have a family? Maybe, maybe not. To be a secretary? Maybe not. To be famous? Probably not." Even when I was [living] in my car, I hoped I would get to do what I loved. I never thought it would be on this level. I don't mean so much the level of success but the actualization of knowing that for the rest of my life, I'm going to be OK. I'm going to be OK. That's so amazing to get used to.

If it's all right for me to ask, was that Atlantic's choice or Jewel's or a combination (or is that none of my business)>> Hi Mike, POY was released in Feb of 1995. It's been a long time though. Initially, it was Atlantic's idea to postpone the release of her virtually finished 1996 2nd album, because at the time, POY was just beginning to really take off. It made sense at the time & was basically the only thing to do from a business standpoint. Now, Jewel has little interest in releasing a new album of THAT material because it no longer represents where she is. Releasing or touring to support an album of "old material" isn't very appealing, is it? So, after the movie is done, she's going to go back in the studio & begin recording a great second album that can utilize some of the incredible material she's written since then. It'll be far more interesting for Jewel & inspire her to want to tour again, quite likely.

Morning Song 1. Radio Mix * 3:32 2. Album Version 3:35 3. Reggae Mix ** 3:40 All tracks written by Jewel Kilcher, Published by Wiggly Tooth, ASCAP [details on production & mix of original version following] * Remixed and arranged by David Roth Engineered and mastered by Oscar Meixner at Hastings Music GmbH Special thanks to Olaf Weitzl for his creative support Additional guitars: David Roth ** Remixed and arranged by David Roth Engineered and mastered by Oscar Meixner at Hastings Music GmbH Special thanks to Olaf Weitzl for his creative support Additional guitars: David Roth, Jan Petersen Additional bass: Claus Umland So, now for my views on all this: First, the different lengths of the songs are not for real, there are no big differences, it's just the timing of the tracks on the CD, I believe. The new tracks are at most the original version plus rhythm track, some extra guitars, strings and some kind of glockenspiel. The Reggae Mix has a reggae beat (who would have thought that?). I think, it's all no big deal, I don't really like the new versions, pushing the song in a strange direction (with the mass of sound that was added), but that's just my view.

The one track with Jewel & Sarah joining The Indigo Girls is quite nice, the Patty Griffin track kicks ass & theres certainly something for everyone on this 2 CD set. Look for it in stores tommorrow. Also, Cindy Lee Berryhill just called & gave me the dates on her upcoming tour in May.
