Re: Dan finally goes public! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: John Date: Sun, 16 Jun 1996 22:27:31 -0400 Subject: Male Counterpart Hmm...this is an odd little thread isn;t it? Oh well..time to add my two cents I guess. According to me...(i guess that's who I can speak for best) if there were a male performer that could (or does) equal Jewel in her music, lyrics, and passion for her work, it would be Johnathan Richman. Johnathan who?? Yeah...well, Jojo to most. Johnathan Richman is a singer/songwriter originally from Boston (yay beantown!) who formed the proto-punk group "The Modern Lovers". You *might* remember Johnathan from the PBS series on Rock and Roll. He was the guy talking about The Museum of Modern art in Boston. The original Lovers cut an album in the late 60's but it was shelved til the mid 70's. During the downtime, the original members broke up leaving Johnathan and new sidemen. Jojo has been recording with and with out different incarnations of the Modern Lovers since then. It's been my great fortune to see Johnathan at a local club several times. His songs are not lyrical masterpieces, but he draws on a innocence, joviality, and simplicity in his works that expose his heart to every member of his audience. I have never left a concert of his without a huge grin on my face. However, I have yet to see Jewel. Johnathan has just been signed to Neil Young's Vapor records and a new album is due soon. By all mean if Johnathan comes to town, see his show. Take my word, you'll leave feeling all is right with the world. Are there any other Jojo fans that are also Jewel fans? If so, I'd love to hear from you!

It depends on the weakness of the individual, as you did state in your post. If you are going to smoke pot and expect to handle it, you must first be able to handle reality. Sadly, some people can't do that... :( > I realize that that is not the story for everyone. I know that people > can function normally even though they smoke but my fear is that I > wouldn't.

Always trust it. I didn't go blindly into smoking.

My driver's > license is very important to me. You can lose your license driving drunk at ANY age, so be careful. Besides, I'd rather get arrested for a DWI than having to live with the guilt of killing someone in an accident...of course I'd rather not experience either which is why I am responsible. But remember, alcohol is a depressant and is physically addicting, not the same as with pot. Thanks for an *intelligent* post on the subject, Rich...

That's my only concern. When someone who isn't even a member of this list gets involved in spinning off CDs, who's to say they won't run off more than the ones we know about on the list and sell them underground at a profit. To begin with, they're not even offering to do it at cost to us here. And I don't buy the argument for asking $3 per disc above cost. Jewel's livelihood is what she makes back from the music she creates. She and Lenedra have not tried to stand in the way of our trading unreleased stuff here even though they have nothing to gain from it. It's this kind of delicate arrangement I don't want to see blown by letting a master fall into the wrong hands. Besides, I put a lot of time into adjusting the audio quality and compiling these tapes specifically for the enjoyment of everyone here, and I haven't seen anything back from it except the satisfaction of knowing people are getting as much from the music as I do. I could have easily asked and received 3 bucks a tape, justifying it by saying I'm spending my own time when I could be working, putting wear & tear on my equipment, etc. etc. And do you know what? If I had done that with the number of tapes that are out there now, I'm sure I would have over $1000 in my pocket now, even at $3 each. Now you tell me, does that sound like it would be fair? Maybe my fears are unjustified, I don't know. I hope if someone decides to go ahead with this, they'll at least ask Lenedra's (& Jewel's) permission before proceeding. They've been pretty open to a lot of other stuff so far, and if they say fine, then I'd feel a lot better about it.
