Actually Edie has a third album, but I haven't bought it yet. "Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars" is one of my favorites, I can't believe I forgot it. Must be because I bought it on tape. I kinda felt burned on Ghost of a Dog, which is why I'm holding off on the third album (which is without the New Bohemians, I believe). What possession would I save? Well, I don't know if I could think clearly in that situation, but if I was thinking, I'd save my picures. I love all my stuff, but I don't need it. Clothes, books, even music is for the most part replaceable. Okay, I'm not saying I believe in astrology (but chyx diggit). I happen to fit my profile pretty well, but I also share *many* traits with my opposite sign of Virgo, which is not explained by anything in my chart. And it depends somewhat on which book you read ;) For those science-oriented out there, don't take it seriously. Think of astrological profiles as just psychological personality types. Then you can characterize someone as behaving like a Leo, or a Taurus or a Gemini, etc. even if they are nothing like their actual sign. Two points to any astrologers who can guess my moon sign and rising sign (and Paul Kim, no I don't know what you can redeem those points for :b) (sorry to the person who said they were bugged by faces in parentheses :) ). If no one can get them right, that's a personal nail in the coffin for astrology. And you have to give a reason for your guess, or it doesn't count (1 in 12 people win a free Pepsi, da da da...) For the goofballs among us, there is a site that will calculate your natal chart for free in like, two seconds.

Am I correct in assuming that those > people are the "older" members of the list? > > Chopped Liver (Charlie) Heck no! (unless you thik a freshman in college is old...) The Beatles are timeless. I myself have over 30 friends under the age of 21 who listen to, enjoy, and cherish this music. I also have friends (mainly women) whose soul purpose in life is to invent a time machine and go back to the 60's and marry Paul McCartney before Linda can get to him. I love the Beatles! IMHO, the greatest musicians are humans, poets, and artists first, then celebrities. John Lennon definitely fits into this category, along with Paul Simon, Bob Marley, Jerry Garcia, Tori Amos and of course, the very female who this list is so dedicated to.

Hello, my name is Jennifer. I am a former lurker, but I have decided to take the big step and POST! I have too many things to say to continue lurking. First, I was raised on classical music, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, and Simon & Garfunkle. My first CD was Dvorak's New World Symphony. If you have never heard it then you should, but don't just listen to it. Turn it up loud, lie on your back on the ground, and feel it! My favorite musicians are(in no specific order): Indigo Girls Jewel Dar Williams Bob Dylan S&G Tracy Chapman Tori Amos (She is actually coming to our country-lovin' conservative campus and I get to see her! More on that later) James Taylor Edie Brickell Pearl Jam and REM (They equal one because I only love some of their songs) I am a Sagitarius! I don't really know what it means to be a Sag. How are Sags different from, let's say, Libras? To EDA's: Thanks for saying Howdy and encouraging me to stop lurking. I feel LIBERATED!!! To Chad: I wanted to say I LOVE YOU so that everyone could "hear", and I'd say it a thousand times over.

Objects don't hold any special intrensic value to me. Yes, some objects are linked to memories in one way or another (i.e. gift from someone, family heirloom, etc), but the real treasure is the actual memories. I can continue my memories without tangible articles to remind me of them. Sure, I'd be disappointed if an old pocket watch my grandfather gave me was destroyed, but after a few minutes of being sorry I'd not think of it any longer. Weird! My girlfriend and I just had a discussion about this. We're both alike in this respect. We know someone who is having a hard time selling a car that was her mothers. Her mother died two+ years ago. For some reason some people feel that getting rid of an item will somehow lesson the memories associated with that item. I just don't. Maybe I'm better off for it, maybe I'm a cold heartless bastard, and maybe I'm more capable of long term memories without physical rememberences. I don't know. I do know that my personallity type (ISTJ) isn't all that emotional. So I guess the cold heartless bastard might fit. Dean (ISTJ and proud of it) Harris P.S.

It seems the sign of Scorpio has been lost in the grand scheme, overshadowed by selfish Saggitariusism and other such nonsense. So those of you who fall under the mystical sign of the scorpion, we must join together to build a betterdiscussion thread, instead of this endless ranting a raving about some silly brothers who bicker with the God of Frisbees. A further note. Half the messages with NJC on them do have something to do with Jewel, if only slightly. People have to learn to choose their titles more carefully. (Not like I chose mine.) Lastly, the favorite thing thing. Since it took me a while to think of, if I hadn't been asked the question, I probably would have burned deciding. But now I know. It would be my acoustic/electric guitar (which isn't signed by Jewel), and since my left hand would be free, I would grab my 1st edtion TICK comic books, including my 2 Special Edition #1's. then I would zoom to safety.

I agree...if there was a fire, OBVIOUSLY people and animals(pets) would be THE priority! I have two cats at home, and I would, without a THOUGHT, make sure that they are out, alive, and well. If ANYTHING were to happen to them, I don't know what I'd do. However, assuming that my dad, mom, brother, and cats are out safely, and there is still ample time to save something else, I would take my photo albums. We all have memories; both of good and bad things. That's what makes life so special. The problem is, however, that we can't always "see" or remember our memories accurately or vividly. Pictures are essential in remembering things, like your first birthday, or that girl or boy you had a crush on in 4th grade, or those friends of yours that have gone on to other things in other places. These memories are precious, which is why I would save them. Sure, I would be terribly distraught if my 3,000+ comic book collection dissentigrated, or the stereo system were gone. They, however hard to find or expensive, ARE replacable. Memories aren't, and neither are the pictures that carry our memories. Memories are beyond expenses; their value is too high to weigh. To lose my pictures of my first sleepover party, or my first time playing baseball, my family together at Walt Disney World, even my meeting with Jewel(despite the fact that it now is on the internet) would be devastating. Memories are what makes life worth living. To lose that 5th grade grauduation picture of my first, true "crush" would be unbearable. Memories aren't forever, so do whatever you can to hold onto them.

I like most of the "new rock" bands of today, but The Beatles are the ultimate. Jewel is the only artist I think has more talent then them. Oh, and about the abundance of female artists on the "Fave Artist" poll. I don't know why it is, but for some reason I like female vocals better. I think female voices are more soothing and actually even more "powerful" than male vocals. Just my thoughts.

Authorities at the scene did not release names of suspects, but witnesses claim the assassin went by the name of "Injun" and had a very suspicious City of Lost Angels look to him. When asked how a frisbee could mortally wound a person, the investigating police officer began giggling and ran away. Navarro was a confusing individual, a young man whom EveryDay Angels said seemed to thrive on his manufactured enigma, rather than on his silence -- which some would have VASTLY preferred. In fact, most Angels had no idea what he looked like, but Sunnyvale's temporarily empty inventory of body bags allowed Angelic spy Tom Proven to finally get a look at him when the coroner carted Carter -- hahahaha, isn't it ironic, don't you think? -- off uncovered to the meat wagon: 5'11", 155 lbs., Caucasian, medium-long blond hair, light brown eyes, impeccable fashion sense. Carter Navarro, a native Marylander who was raised for the majority of his life in Silicon Valley, was to begin his final year as an economics major at UC-Santa Cruz in just a few more days when the frisbee prematurely halted his bodily functions. When asked for reaction to Carter's death, one of his Santa Cruzan housemates stated simply, "I guess I have an extra room to put my junk in now. Yee-haw!" Carter is survived by his parents, his English Springer Spaniel, and fourteen thousand chinchillas. Funeral services will be held in his backyard. Notable ancestors include an admiral who sunk his own ship in the Spanish armada and Fielding Garr, one-time landlord of the Great Salt Lake's Antelope Island. Despite his largely Mormon roots, Carter was an atheist. A last will and testament was discovered in Navarro's room, suggesting that Carter may have known his life was in peril. The document, titled "The Pirate King Sets Sail," will be released to the public Saturday evening. - - Carter "Now Includes Authentic Halo!"

So here it is again. Copyright =A9 1996 The Seattle Times Company Entertainment News : Sept. 19, 1996 Tempo: A fresh new talent, she's come from dead-end jobs to a world of opportunity by Tom Phalen Special to the Seattle Times It was just over a year ago that singer/songwriter Jewel performed on four consecutive no-cover Thursdays at The Puss Puss Cafe on Capitol Hill. It was part of a "residential tour," where a performer sets up residence in a hub city and plays in different neighboring communities, rotating about once a week. It's an inexpensive way for a record company to saturate a regional market with a particular artist. It works well with self-contained solo musicians. For Jewel, now 22, it seems to have worked very well, indeed. Her spiritually-oriented, folk-influenced single, "Who Will Save Your Soul," rose to No. 11 in Billboard (this week it's at No. 14) and her "Pieces of You" debut album has sold more than a million copies. She's become a top concert draw; she's now on tour in Australia. "I'm in Sydney," she said over the phone, her young-girl voice sounding stuffy from a cold. "It's a promo tour. `Pieces of You' just got released here. It's nice to get out of America once in a while; you get tired of touring Ohio. Nothing against Ohio!" Three years ago Jewel was sleeping in her van and playing in a coffee house in San Diego. She spent her childhood in Homer, Alaska, singing with her father in small-town saloons - her first taste of show business - and living on an 800-acre homestead without power or running water. She managed to spend her last two years of high school at Michigan's Interlochen Fine Arts Academy on a vocal scholarship. There she got her first taste of culture and embraced it, learning to play guitar and writing poetry. From dead-end to recording contract After graduation she moved to California to be near her mother, who now manages her. She surfed and worked dead-end jobs as a secretary and a waitress. Eventually she quit, finding playing in coffeehouses more appealing. So did record executives from Los Angeles who discovered her weekly sets. Jewel eventually signed with Atlantic and in February 1995 released "Pieces of You." It barely made a ripple, but the company stuck with her. They helped her with the residential circuit, keeping her playing coffeehouses and clubs. She toured as an opening act nationwide, sometimes solo, sometimes with a band. "I had a band when I opened for Neil Young," she said. "I toured with him for four weeks before coming here. Working with Neil was awesome. He's such a sweet man." But the work can also be grueling, and seemingly unending. "I'm doing 40 shows in 30 days on this tour," she said matter-of-factly. "I sing in Washington (at the Puyallup) the day I get back." But it wasn't road work alone that brought Jewel, now 22, to national attention. Part of her visibility has come from TV. She's done regional and national shows, including all the late-night fare, where she got substantial attention. She also made a video for "Who Will Save Your Soul," her first single, and it was picked up by VH1, which led to more radio play. It was one of the first of a rash of music clips to be filmed in a public bathroom. The last sacred place "Funny isn't it?" she said, chuckling. "I started a trend. But it isn't just a joke. When I was a little girl in Alaska, I used to go outdoors a lot. That's how I got to know God, find beauty and simplicity. I got to b= e with myself and have silence around me, which is important. You hear who you're going to become. You can concentrate in silence. "So now, because my days are so full with people and meetings, constantly, I go into the bathroom to be alone. It's just about the last place you can go to be with yourself, to cry or get away from the kids or smoke a cigarette, whatever. "It's the last sacred place," she added, laughing again. "And I love the ironies in the video. We shot it for nothing so I got to do most of it, decide on a lot of things. I don't know if anybody else sees them, but I do; I did them for me." Somehow in the midst of the mayhem in which she now lives, she's recorded 30 tracks for her next album. "It's time to pick now. It's a burden, but it's a burden I prefer." Jewel's appeal is Jewel. She's easy and funny, with a backpack of stories. Her songs are melodic and accessible and she sings loops around them. She also knows how to embrace an audience, to play what it doesn't know it wants to hear. And she knows there is more than just this moment. "I think you have to layer your work," she explained, "put in stuff for people to find down the line. If you don't, well, that shoots longevity in the foot."
