Anyway, I got the (apparently ubiquitous) maroon t-shirt, and the poster is now hanging in my room. My boyfriend thinks I'm obsessed. It's quite possible. I personally had a great time at the show (and was away from my computer all weekend, so sorry about the lateness) although I thought that Jewel seemed so angry for some of the songs, which I, having read People and listened faithfully to rumors, attributed to the whole Sean Penn thing. Never liked him anyway. What no one else mentioned was the joy of manuvering around the olympic torch procession. Everywhere I went it was in front of me, defying some law of physics. But we got there, and I actually leaned on the stage, so it was all cool.

Thanks Angels for standing by. I might come back to the list if infact I get a computer of my own when I bring in the big bucks in a few months when my job starts.

My feeling is that it is not. Jewel's first solo acoustic album was made that way because that's all Jewel knew/could afford at the time. Jewel, it seems to me, has always expressed an interest in growing and trying new things. Playing guitar and singing solo was what she did originally because it was what she could afford to do. She didn't have the money to pay a band, didn't own other instruments, etc. She's said before that her dream as a young girl was to be a Big Band singer. Perhaps if she'd been a millionaire rather than a girl living in her van, she could have hired a big band, spent weeks/months working on arrangements and parts, and produced a Big Band album, and then toured the country with a full band. But that wasn't the case (though it would have been neat to hear.) Personally I've been quite pleased with what Atlantic has done in supporting her career. Foolish Games for example, was a song originally performed with just solo acoustic guitar. If Atlantic hadn't gotten Charlotte Caffey to work with Jewel on the arrangement that appears on the album, we wouldn't have the beautiful haunting album version, which I feel, is one of the best tracks. I guess all I'm trying to say is that record company's intervention isn't always necessarily a bad thing. Nor is it necessarily true that whenever Jewel does new things (such as touring with a band) its due to pressure from her record company (which seems to be the immediate assumption on this list.) And although Jewel is a "solo" artist, almost all creative efforts are collaborative, including Jewel's. The only way she gets to learn and grow, is to listen and work with others, try new things, and see what works and what doesn't. I just hope that Atlantic continues to support her in producing, releasing and promoting the albums that Jewel wants to make, whether that means producing solo acoustic works, working with studio musicians, or hiring that big band.

I've been meaning to post this for a while but it keeps slipping my mind. Anyways, i think that it would have been a cool idea to organize something through the list where someone could collect email messages snail mail gifts and other things to wish her a happy birthday and then give it to her or someone who has connections to her (and we know there are people on the list who are connected) on her birthday. I just checked the FAQ and her birthday is May 23. I just checked the tour dates and she is not playing that day. So what to do. Not like we could get this together in two weeks. Probably take 2 months to organize. Oh well. Just a thought. All these posts are making me salivate like a good Pavlovian dog waiting for her show in Boston. Any word on organizing a pre-show get-together, Ken? AAA radio is also known as Adult Album Alternative and is similar to "Crossroads" style music. Oh, VH1 Crossroads is coming out with an album on May 14th or something. Don't know what's on it.

Yeah it'd be nice if jewel didn't change herself for to please a wider audience... >From what i heard on 120 mintues ( i thought Matt was great. I plan to watch him more often... He seemed to genuinely enjoy the music and talking to Jewel. Matt also did an interview with Tori which was cool. More about her in a minute) Jewel will stay the same and people that like her music will like it and those who don't won't. She not gonna change much. "copmpletely flip out like tori" What are you talking about? how has tori flipped out. Yes she is touring more which makes her more tired and not as fun at the concerts as far as interacting with the audience and stuff like that. Yes Atlantic has marketed her. Songs like Talula (Tornado mix) and Caught a light Sneeze are more mainstream than most of her music. That's why they were released as singles. But if you buy Boys For Pele you still find the great piano in songs like Putting the damage on and Blood Roses/Horses Personally i like almost everything she has done and have been VERY lucky to have seen her a few weeks ago. I think that how she has coped with the fame and fortune of her music is Great... I don't know what this flipping out is all about. That's her... It's not an act! >Jewel is a fabulous talent and deserves wealth and fame, but i >wish that she could have it on her terms. If she enjoys playing to >thousands of screaming fans, than i hope she can. She is i think... Didn't she say she wanted to play a big staduim one day. She had her time doing coffee houses and waitressing She continually points out on interviews that she is VERY happy being able to do what she loves and get paid for it... >For my sake though, I hope >that the quality of her writing stays as high as it has been since I >know that the future concert experiences will not be as good for me as Rare >Angels and Innerchange Days. For your sake? Why do you think her writing will suffer? Do you think it has already? As far as the people who think she is hot and scream it at shows. Well she is hot but they should know not to scream it out... I have a tape of an early innerchange concert. for the first few songs you can't hear shit because of all the people talking. I don't know why you think it's getting any worse? Please give jewel some credit (to quote the old dirty bastard, wow how did i get him into a jewel post...
