Anyway, the point I want to make is that I understand how Todd feels. I don't think it is so much the NJC that bothers him, but the fcat that he posted something that he felt was relevant, and got no replys, while everyone talked about tall guys. Maybe I'm just putting words in his mouth, but that is how I felt a few weeks ago when I tried to drum up some Jewel talk by posting about the fact that we already know the music that will be on her new album, and therefor may be disapponted. I don't remember what the NJC talk was at that point, but I remember being frustrated that very few people commented on my post, but everyone was commenting on the NJC. Oh well, just my opinion on things. To Todd, I do agre that you should stick around, things will pick upo, and you can make some good friend son thi slist!

No mention of EDA's though. :((( Did anyone try to call in??? How does one give a review of that?? Um, she talked a lot about a lot of things that were almost over my head.

Jewel must be a Goddess. She was smart and seductive. Throughout the conservation with John Stewart, Jewel completly blew him away. She brought up all these philosophical topics and all John was able to do was laugh and make dumb jokes. They didn't really talk about her new albumn though. I actually thought that was cool. They basically focused on her personality and experiences. All you folks on the west coast prepare for a treat and get those VCRs ready.

Well, this was the first time I have really saw her on TV since I have had the revelation that not all of the music in todays scene sucks. I am just glad that I can enjoy artists like Jewel and Bruce who write "their own songs" with meaning and heart. And damn it she's cool. Wish their were more people like her. Then again probably not.

Tom Snyder Hi all!! I am disappointed! :( Jewel had a pretty nice interview, nothing new really. I kept calling and calling...I ACTUALLY got through TWICE!! Well, the first time was when Dennis Leary was on so I hung up. THEN, I got through again, my heart was pounding so incredibly hard, a dude answered the phone, I ask him my question, he says "he's already going to ask her that" and hung up. Well, not only did John not ask the question that I had proposed, but also they didn't have ANY callers for Jewel. Well :P~~~ on them!!! Oh well, I won't let that get me down, or the fact that I missed Patty G. on the radio this evening. UGH! Oh well, I get to SEE Patty tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! I will be seeing Jewel soon enough also!!! Anyway, jewel looked cute, as always. She answered all the questions well, and once again made her interviewer look inferior to her (case and point: Cynicism isn't smarter, just safer....and John's response to this statement).

We've had conflicting reports, some saying Homer, others, a site in Utah. Guest host Jon Stewart asked the obligatory "Have you ever been in therapy?" question based on her unconventional childhood in a bar band. She said her dad, at that time a social worker, hooked her up with a therapist at 8. She said it was just because dad _was_ a social worker who she guesses thought her childhood was weirding her out or something. She suggested, smilingly, that parents who keep putting the child in therapy should re-assess themselves :-). Later in the show she also recalls her experiences carving marble and how she considered a sculpting career along with music. She said her plan at the time was to go to Mexico and become a street singer. Funny how a certain little thing like a record deal diverted her from a simple life of guitar strumming to become a media darling. While discussing her life's philosophy she offered up this take-home quote: "Cynicism isn't smarter, it's only safer." And, as a cynic who hates being a cynic, I needed to hear that. (Sure beats Jewel taking all my food :-) If I had videotape to spare, I would have recorded it and offered a transcript and stills from the show. But I was out of tape and just couldn't bring myself to lug my VCR across the room to my Mac to do the frame grabs. I should've it was a keeper. By the way, I was experimenting with the FrontPage server extensions for a client and set up a test site at http://innerchange.scott.net Suggestions are now open for a unique idea for a Jewel site. Also, I'd like to know your opinions in setting up a telnettable talk site for EDAs. This would likely be a MOO/MUCK/MUD type of hangout and would be accessible to nearly everyone.

Tonight on my way home at 11:49pm, Jewel came on, not with a song, but with a KDGE promotion. I was half a sleep so I kind of only got half of it. But she mentioned the "Edge" and then asked for people to call in with suggestions. Then YWMFM was played. Every day at 5pm, they have what's called the Top 5 at 5 where they play the five most requested songs. I think it would be great if YWMFM was on it.

Alas, their thirst for Jewel only mildly sated. I fear, my friends, that we were decieved. The traditional format of the show gave us the impression that we would be allowed to speak with Miss Kilcher. Their purpose in not allowing viewer calls was perhaps to have a more focused, intimate conversation. This was her first time on the show, and thus to many people an "unknown." But I expect her to be invited back, and then they will most certainly get to hear from us EDAs. :-> "You even sound like a song when you talk" - Jon Stewart :-> Well, it seems our young host had some trouble keeping up with Miss Kilcher. Apparently his mental capacities were, shall we say, held hostage by our angel's beauty. I'm sorry to hear his interview skills suffered as a result. I look forward to her chance to appear on the show again when Tom isn't on vacation. Mr. Snyder is a much older gentleman and would easily and eagerly follow Miss Kilcher's sophistry. And perhaps at that time I will have remedied the problems I have with my television and will actually get to see her. Not that I was completely without Jewel tonight. I did manage to view approximately 8 seconds of the YWMFM video on the Friday Night jukebox. But now, I must leave you for slumber.

Neat show. Let me just say right now that I really don't like the somber and more serious version of Jhon Stwert that he has been on his guest hosting job of the Late Late Show. I was a much bigger fan of his more humerouse self form the talk show he had on MTV and his stand up, but that's just me I guess. Anyway. Again I have been stunned by Jewel and her indrecable amount of charm. I think one of the things that has always drawn me to Jewel was just that. When I first heard one of her concerts I was just dazzeled by it. She has a precence that is hard for me to shake. I still love when some of my cynical friends talk bad about Jewel because I know what it's like when somthing chalenges things that you have an ilogial belive in is. It's and odd felling to be grounded and to see that some of the things you belived in just airn't totaly true. Some people just can't get over the "live sucks" view. It's really kind of a sad thing to see people telling you how much they suffer as they drink till they puke night after night and then wonder why things in there life are going all wrong. People can't find things to belive in anymore and that breeds cynisiysm. People can't trust in life or love, not in government or even their place in the world. So they look to somthing that is never going to be totaly eradicated from there life: strugle and pain. Finding somone to look up to these days is a hard thing. I've never had a hero, and all people that have came close have let me down in the end. I'm just gald that I have Jewel who is somone I can realate with. I know what it's like to work shity jobs and wake up each morning just bidding time till the next day. I just fell happy that I'm now in a job I enjoy to some degree and actually can inspire me in my passions of writing. Ok, enuogh ranting. For lack of better words, Jewel was just lovely as always. Somehow she seemed to really stand out tonight tho. I think the tone of that show fit her very well. It's not like Leno of Letterman where you have a crowd of yelling people watching. There was just peace there on the set. Of course I don't need to say that I am again left spinning form her very existance. Not a lot of celebs can talk and have me go "yeah, I know where they are coming form". I loved when she was talking about how when you hear a word so many times it starts to sound fake to you. I get that a lot, one that I still can't shake is the word "Hostess" (as in the twinkie people). Don't ask me why. It was neat to hear about the marbel carving and the street prefomfer in Mexico things. Makes me wonder what I'm really gonna end up doing considering I'm juggeling being a writer, a movie maker, or a lot of other artistic things that take work and luck hard work to get into (desipte some myth being a writer is not all that easy work tho it is far from labor). Anway, this was a great piece for my ever growing colection of Jewel media. Just gald I was on this great list so that I knew is was gonna be on. Jewel still inspires me to no ends. To sit down and actually convers with her would be a crowning achivment in my live, she has a the ability to talk about all the deep things I like to talk about (I never find it hard to chat on my shallow topics like how the internet is not just one big joke like so many are fond of saying these days).

Other than the Boston Orpheum gig on the 21st of February, I have no info as yet. Many people have been privately emailing me about tour dates lately. This is all I know until I hear from their office. They've been incredibly busy lately. I will immediately post any info I get. I promise. So please hold off on tour date emails. It's been a good day of Jewel TV. The Week In Rock, The RAINN Promo Spot & The Snyder Show. Tommorrow, Jewel is hosting a 4 hour special called "Woman First" on VH1. Also very late tommorrow night she'll be included in VH1's "American Music Awards Nominee Special"(I think at 1:00AM on Sunday actually). And then the Awards themselves will be on Monday Night on CBS. Thats a recap of all I'm aware of at the moment. Hope to know much more in the next week or so. All the best, Alan(MrBB) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Jan 1997 02:41:59 -0600 From: Ashe Mayfair Subject: Re: Reflections on TV Interview >1. Very little worthwhile information was provided. > I just felt like very little NEW info was provided, and just how much do you NEED to know about anyone that you are not even in anyway infolved with. I know NOTHING about half the celebs I'm a fan of and couldn't care less in all truth >2. Jon Stewart has a hearing problem or something. > Agreed, oh well. >3. Denis Leary was cut out of one of the worst movies ever, but he gets the >majority of air time over a Grammy nominee. > Agreeed again. Still I don't think that just being a Grammy nominee makes you some kinda media God (or Godess where ablicable) and more deserving of time. I Just wish that they would've had equal time is all. >4. Boy, I'm glad Jon told us all to call in our questions for Jewel! Almost >all of them got answered, too! > Yeah, but you see, that is the flaw of live TV (that and you have to watch your mouth cus they can't just bleep out words like.. well you know). >5. Can Jewel talk for more than five minutes w/o saying 'hands manifest >thought.'? > Yes, I counted about 10 min with no mention of it (ewwww, sarcasim :]). That seems to be one thing that Jewel want's people to hear. I know we have all heard it a few MILLION times. But then I've heard the Mexico story about 11 MILLON times and I sure as hell am not gonna go to a concert and yell "hey! Can't you think of somting new to say!?". Remeber that not all people have heard her repeated phrases like some of us. If you are going to complain about the "hands manifest thought" thing, then why not the "I'm so happy yo be lifing my dream" speech too? >6. Did anyone else think she had too much makeup on? (okay that was trivial) > No, that was the Grammys show. Remember? >7. And then, when I thought she might get through an interview w/o being >asked, Jon HAS to say something about Yodeling!!! rrrgh... At least she >obliged him. He seemed quite entertained by it, in any case... > Agreed, what is the facination with this suddenly? Before Jewel you couldn't have payed NBC to come on a show and yodel. Now it's requested. Don't get me wrong here, I find it entertaining. But must EVERY talk show host have her yodel? Yet Jewel has addmited to enjoying the yodling as long as she dosn't become a slave to it (her words paraphrased). Maybe it's the same as the "hands manifest thought" thing that I talk about above. I've heard it a lot, but some might never have (and some of them real Jewel fans that don't have a computer or somthing like us). >just my thoughts, please disagree it helps the environment Yeah, healthy debate is a great thing. - -Ashe Mayfair "Angels lookin' make it hard to cry" -Tracy Bonham ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Jan 1997 03:04:54 -0600 From: Ashe Mayfair Subject: Re: Lack of Jewel talk >while everyone talked about tall guys. Maybe I'm just putting words in his >mouth, but that is how I felt a few weeks ago when I tried to drum up some >Jewel talk by posting about the fact that we already know the music that Let me just say to all the new people concerned about this that we DO talk about Jewel somtimes but this is not the list for exclusive Jewel talk. That's just the way it is. It's like on IRC and you join a channel and there is no one talking about what you would think a channel with that name would be talking about. I hang out on some writers channels and sometimes end up talking about the validity of Crop Circles or somthing. When there is somthing to be saida about the subject that brought us together then we talk about that. Still people bound to talk about things TOTALY outside the realm of Jewel. Just enjoy it. It can offten times lighten up my days. As for the flocking to NJC's and ignoring the JC. Well, that seems normal to me. I personaly think we have talked the new album to death at this point. When more info comes down the pipeline (which seems a little cloged at the moment but that should cear up before to long) then that will be brought back to life. It seems like we are almost to the point where we use our mental powers to figure out what the cover it gonna look like. It's stale to me at the moment and not somting I fell like posting about. Now I know the felling. Hell have the little quarks and ideas for talk with some minor Jewel content (content which is differnt then news, maybe we need to have a new acronym {sp} like JN: meaning Jewle news that way some of us don't fell dumb when puting JC on the list that are just for fun talk the incorperates Jewel. But I get the same thing from my NJC too. I post asking for feedback on poems... 2 responses (guess most of you thoguht they sucked and just didn't wanna say it). I post asking about feedback on my web page (a Jewel page I might add)... 2 responses (guess what I do for people matters little, or the page sucked and no one wants to tell me). It's agrevating either way but no reason to get mad at the list for it. And quicly on the tall/short thread. What dose it matter really?? All this kinda reaminds me of that Star Bellyed Sniches (sp) crap from Dr Suse and why plastic sergons are such RICH men and women. It's normal to have preverances and all, but don't let them rule you. I was watching Brett Butler do a stand up act tonight on Comedy Central and I loved when she was talking about the recovery ward at the plasic sergons place and said somthing like "we all where in there recovering form vanity more or less" (not in any way a direct quoet). That may be one of the greatest things I've heard all week. Geez!!! Am I fired up tonight or what?!?!?! That's plenty for now.
