Atlanta on 5-24! The absolute best show I've ever been to bar none. She came out and went right into an accapella version of a Tracy Chapman song (I forget the name) about domestic violence. It only went up from there. She did all the things I had heard about (asked a side of the room to be quiet please, told the drug story, and added Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer etc.. into Pieces of You when she sang "pretty girl" (too funny!). She also pissed a few people off when she sing songed "Bob Dole is an asshole" into a song (can't remember which). I thought it was all going to be mellow but she really kicked in on a few and I hope they'll be on the new album. I had a great view, it was a small club and I watched the "Clearasil Club" of boys stand in the front row and form drool puddles on the stage. She can WORK an audience! The only down side I have to say is that she didn't stick around to sign or "meet n greet" I know it was her b-day and some people even brought her presents (she said the only presents she had received were from fans) but there wasn't a mob rush and she really could've taken a few minutes; she let down quite a few people. Some girl even tried desperately to jump on stage and grab her water bottle (no luck) Gotta go again!!! Anyone up for a road trip? Two thumbs up!!! ------------------------------ From: Skybug19@aol.com Date: Mon, 27 May 1996 01:12:21 -0400 Subject: gay even though you all keep spazing at whoever asked if Jewej was gay i'l still put in my two cents......... i wish she were!!!!!!! she is the most beautiful human being on the planet! i love her!! and i myself have often wondered if she were gay.It CERTINLY does NOT mean it changes anything. - ----------------------------------------------------- Since i'm writing i'll ask a favor....... does ANYONE have a copy of Race Car Driver? i promised it to my (ex)boyfriend for his b-day since we couldn't get to the concert on South Beach THANX revolution grrl style NOW. ------------------------------ From: aw@rouse.com (Andrew Wynn Rouse) Date: Mon, 27 May 1996 04:11:34 -0500 Subject: About the Rainbow Hey Angels, What UP with all the posts asking about her sexual preference? I went to a high school, where we didn't have two colors like everybody= else; our shcool colors were the rainbow; we used to use the little rainbow= stickers (presumably) like they ones people have on their cars in SFO. It seems there has been a lot of confusion on the list about the possibility= of her being gay. The obvious conclusion is she is not, based on her own= words (certainly NOT her lyrics); think about it--based on her lyrics, she= probably IS, but in her WORDS, she states that her songs are rarely about= HER, but people she met, or knows, and even THEN the gender is changed to= protect the innocent (or guilty). The odds that she knows, and loves people who are homosexual is 100%, so it= wouldn't surprize me at all if she would support their cause. It doesn't surprize me that the Jewel list is talking about gays, etc, but= it is odd to me that people keep pounding on if, if, if, if. She presents= herself as straight; let's leave it at that--if she isn't, their is a very= good reason we DON'T know the answer, and leave her alone to deal with it.

Why would you assume she was= asked to wear it?

Thanks to fellow lister and cool dude, Tom, I now have a picture of me and Jewel in my room (plus a groovy picture of Jewel and Tom!) I have to say, I look like a dork but Jewel, as always, looks beautiful. We snapped a couple of pictures with her when we met her a couple of weeks ago so now I can go around and say, "This is me and my friend Jewel." tee-hee (Okay, okay, so I wouldn't *really* do that...) Maybe... ;) Also I finally got copies of Rare Angels and the Innerchange days. To whoever started this wonderful tree of tapes: THANK YOU! And to anyone who does not have these tapes, you must get them! They represent Jewel and her talent way better than PoY does. The more I hear her live the more I am disappointed with PoY. I don't feel like it shows off anywhere near the brilliant talent she has. So a big thank you to Tom and the other tree-tape people! You all rule! Take care all.

Last saturday , I went to the concert of the biggest latin rock band " Los Fabulosos Cadillacs" , and it has been the worse experience I've ever had. I was in the arena area and there were about 10,000 other people in arena also. Then the concert began , all the people from general admission jumped down to the arena area , so now there were about 20,000 people in an area that hold comfortably no more than 8,000. The whole arena was a huge mosh pit. All the fucking dickheads and even a great part of the girls starting to push ,kick and punch to anyone who was passing through. Once the pushed me in the mosh pit and I not being that big ( 5-10 , 148 pounds ) got hit really hard and they even made my nose bleed. Drugs have been present in all cocerts , but in this one it was ridiculous. People were snorting cocaine , and there was so much smoke from pot that I got a buzz just from breathing air. A guy came up to me and offered to pay me $5 for a cigarrete I was smoking confusing it with a joint. A huge guy , I mean like 6-4 , 250 pounds, stole my cool "Bush " winter cap and he kept on looking at me and I could'nt say or do anything cause he could have kicked my ass. The guy simply came up to me took my hat off stared at me for 3 seconds and left. Fuck!!! I couldn't enjoy the music cause I was so busy trying to stay on me feet and keeping my balance from all the shoving that was going on. Now, I was wondering how nice and cool it would be instead of being in this chaotic , hot hell hole I were in a Jewelconcert drinking my coffee and enjoying her and the music. From what I've heard in this list Jewel's venues are filled with a really sweet , relaxed , mellow atmosphere in which one could enjoy the spirituallity of Jewel's music , totally contrary to the atmosphere that this last concert created. Oh well !!! I'm still young and Jewel is also , let's hope she continues enjoying her music and touring and someday I might have the priviledge to see her. until then my friends : Rafa " who was almost raped by a fat, tattoed guy in the middle of the concert " Galinanes p.s: tomorrow is my b-day !!

Ed at Yodelin' Pig Collectibles (410) 654-0516 had one of each late last week when I tracked down the Jewel Spew Enhanced CD there. Call Yodelin' Pig (NO JOKE) ASAP if you're interested and don't hesitate to order if they're still there. SOMEONE will buy them, and we'd all sleep better if you'd get a Jewel fix now and then... ;) Speaking of yodeling, I think it's great Jewel blew off Chime Bells in Atlanta. (Tough break for the fans.) It's her call, and she is obviously pissed at drunken jerks constantly demanding it at her shows while she tries to talk or do other material. When she enjoys the yodeling and chooses to do it again, congratulations to the crowd that gets the treat. Her smile alone will be worth it... Come to think of it, isn't the ability to yodel considered being bi-lingual around Atlanta? Okay, Atlantans, it was a bad joke, get over it already!!! =) <> It will always have the begging breaks, so get your own genuine copy! The video tape is available from Turner Home Entertainment for $19.95 ($4.95 S/H); the CD soundtrack for $16 ($4.95 S/H). Proceeds go to the Children's Defense Fund charity, so the price is reasonable and accomplishes a couple of good things, the least of which is to feed ya'll with Jewel cravings. They'll try to sell you the "collector's package" first, which has the original movie and other non-Jewel stuff for $80 or so. I ordered both " a la carte" and was told it would be 6-8 weeks. The goods arrived a week later! Turner can be reached at 1-800-201-8844. Anyway, hi to all on the 'zine project (Tom, Neile, Greg) and the Paradise show group (keep in touch).
