ONLY 19 more days until my FIRST jewel concert. I have second row seats to the show at the tower on March 9. I can't wait! I read somewhere on the list that there was a possibility of the EDA's attending the philly show to go backstage. does anyone know anything more about this? I would love to meet Jewel, maybe even get her autograph!!! If we can't get backstage, does anyone think that we could wait around, hoping to catch a fleeting glimpse and scream her name, hoping for her to turn around? One of my friends waited around after some concert around the back door and actually got to talk to a band member for a minute, i think it was 311 before their days of trendiness. Do you think we could do that? Anyways, i have one more thing to say. does anyone else feel a small pang of jealously when you see people you hate singing YWMFM or WWSYS in the halls at school? I absolutely hate that. I mean, it's great that they like jewel and all, but they don't like her enough to buy an album or anything. I don't know, i guess that i'm just selfish. Hope to see some of you guys at the Philly show. and i think it was LAURA(?) maybe, that was having a get together at her house before hand? If it's not laura, and someone else, or if it is laura, please e-mail me w/ info. I'd love to come, but I don't know if the other people that I'm going w/ would want to. I'm going w/ 2 non EDA's, and I'm not driving, so I don't know if she woould want to do any extra driving...you know, that pesky "you need gas in the car in order to make it move" thing. Well, hope to hear from other Philly concert goers as well as Laura(?) soon! Love you all! : )~ Ashley ...there are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay.... ~~~um...let me think!! ****************************************************************************** ******************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 19:50:56 -0500 (EST) From: Prism14960@aol.com Subject: JC: I'm getting a Jewel poster Hi Angels, I almost feel as if I shouldn't post, I'm so behind on reading! (sorry!) Anyway, I just wanted to share my excitement! The other day I went downtown to the Riverwalk, and I went into the music store. And in front of a white light, was a big poster of Jewel!! Of course I ran up to the counter and asked if they were selling any more of them. He said no, but they do give them away. I asked if I could have it and he said yes and took down my name and number. It's being used for advertisement, so whenever they are ready to change it, he'll give me a call. It's about 2 feet x 2 feet, it says Jewel in red letters and says Pieces of You below it. It's not a picture off PoY, I don't remember seeing this one anywhere, but it does look like it may be one of the promo pictures. Well, I can't wait to get it! Thanks for listening. Peace, Priscilla. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 20:01:44 -0500 (EST) From: AESTHETE99@aol.com Subject: Oh yet another LizStock appraissal... Well, I finally got back to Lancaster, PA at about 1 AM last night after dropping off Crunch in Mt. Joy. We drove pretty much straight through and as it turned out the weather was not that bad. However, we did manage to sustain an eight hour drive with NO music, which has got to be a first for me. Crunch entertained me as I drove with his thoughts on government, the internet, and the cosmos. Granted, some of this discussion bordered on paranoid delerium, but as I feared that Mark might suddenly rip his own head off to reveal the face of an alien that had inhabited his body, I didn't say anything. Anyway, my take on LizStock.......... I kind of hung in the background for most of the event as I was suddenly struck with a bout of shyness and self-doubt. So instead of being the tremendously obnoxious person I normally am (I was only a little obnoxious), I pulled the reins in and opted for a more contemplative experience. I did end up having some fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable conversations with both Larry and Igor. For those of you who haven't met Igor, he's a real treat. Just make sure you have a lot of time on your hands to talk. Larry's humor and generosity permeated the atmosphere and the picture he has of himself with Jewel made more than a few people jealous. Liz is a riot. I enjoyed watching her react to all the attention she was receiving, and it occured to me how lucky she is. Great parents, great sister, and a 16th birthday that people came from all over the country for. She was shown a great deal of love and it's a shame more people her age don't have that kind of support. We outshined any other Broomball fans in the stadium. The other people there thought we were lunatics. (And, really, who can blame them.) The seemingly mild-mannered Tim turned into a complete freak, screaming and banging on the glass. (Of course, HE was not accosted by the police. NOOOOOOOO......I make one comment and the 5-0 is all over me.......Yeah, that's fair...). Anyway, I'm a poor historian and these things go, so it's hard for me to re-create many things. My feelings now that it is over are varied. I wished I had talked to Selena more as she seemed kind of reserved. I'm really glad I got to play with Fish's kids, as this now proves that not all children are frightened of me. I wished I had smoked less, as my arms ache from opening and closing that f---ing glass door all weekend. And overall I wish I had talked to more people as there are a lot of you on the list who fascinate me, but when confronted with you physically, I get nervous (Can you relate, Igor?). Anyway, I am glad I went and thanks again to Liz and Shelly for their hospitality. And Tegan, no hard feelings, okay?

Lengthy so if you don't want to read it print it out and show it to older people like me[45]. [although my maturity and intelligence pales in comparison to Jewel's] From: phil.connor@hydro.on.ca postcard2@u.washington.edu ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ What's love got to do with it? From rock to country, pop music expresses longing and loss TIMOTHY FINN 02/14/97 (Copyright 1997) A portrait of love, according to pop music: It hurts, it stinks, it wounds, it's blind, it has no pride; you can't buy it or hurry it; it's a sacrifice; it'll tear you apart; it has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight. Another portrait, different perspective: It's the answer; it will find a way; it will turn you around; it makes the world go 'round; it lifts you higher; it's like oxygen; it conquers all. Love is all we need, the Beatles alleged, but when it comes to writing songs that render love in all its gritty and glorious detail, shiny-happy romance isn't nearly enough. ``There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness,'' Aldous Huxley once wrote. He's right, and the two sketches above prove his point: Happiness inspires jingles and cliches; anger and pain provoke the bitter truth. The movies may give us images of love that are contrived, pat and too perfect, but pop music gives us glimpses of love and romance as they really are: mercurial, complex, flawed, affirming and enrapturing. Country The genre that spawned the cliche ``cryin' in my beer'' has produced hundreds of eulogies to love and life gone bad. Some of the best: ``Crazy,'' Patsy Cline: Willie Nelson wrote it, but Cline made it famous. Her luscious voice gives the song a sheen that almost betrays the heartache and desperation: ``I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin' and crazy for lovin' you.'' ``Turnin' Off a Memory,'' Merle Haggard: Merle's gonna drink to forget, to dull the pain. And he's ready to pound a few magnums of wine 'cause this time the pain is consumptive: ``So I'm turning off a memory/As quickly as time will allow/I'm turnin' off a memory/And the wine seems to help, somehow.'' ``Easy's Getting Harder Every Day,'' Iris DeMent: A Springsteenian portrait of middle-class drudgery - in marriage, in love, at work, at home: ``The lights are blinkin' on the radio tower/I lie awake and stare at them for hours and hours/'Cause easy, it just keeps getting harder every day.'' DeMent's piccolo voice is exceptionally full and beautiful, even drenched in all that pain. ``Break It to Me Gently,'' Brenda Lee: She knows it's over, but she can't let go: ``Break it to me gently so my tears won't fall too fast/If you must go then go slowly/Let me love you till the last.'' ``She's Already Made Up Her Mind'' Lyle Lovett: Like no other contemporary songwriter, Lovett uses surgical detail to deliver bombs to the heart. In this wrenching ballad, a desperate lover is hoping beyond hope for a pardon, for another chance. It will not come: ``She is sitting at one end of the kitchen table/And she is staring without expression/And she is talking to me without moving her eyes/Because she's already made up her mind.'' Soul ``I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You,'' Aretha Franklin: Her pain and passion are molten. She knows he's a jerk, but she can't let him go: ``You're a no-good heartbreaker/You're a liar, a cheat/My friends keep tellin' me you're no good/Baby, they don't know that I'd leave you if I could ... '' ``Pain in My Heart,'' Otis Redding: Otis is deep in distress. Not only has she left him, but he has no idea where she is:``There's a pain in my heart/That just won't let me sleep ... Where can my baby be? Lord, no one knows ... '' ``When a Man Loves a Woman,'' Percy Sledge: This classic - it was the first soul song to hit No. 1 on the pop charts (1966) - was an odd inclusion on a recent Rhino compilation of love ballads. It is hardly that. Sledge is singing about submission and control: ``When a man loves a woman/He'll give up all his comforts and sleep out in the rain/If she says that's the way it ought to be ... If she plays him for the fool/He's the last to know/'Cause lovin' eyes can never see ... '' ``If You Don't Know Me By Now,'' Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes: Teddy Pendergrass is trying to save a relationship that is drowning in resentment. The song ends without delivering even a glimmer of hope: ``We've all got our own funny moods/I've got mine/And woman, you've got yours too/ ... What good is a love affair/When we can't see eye to eye?'' ``The Tracks of My Tears,'' Smokey Robinson & the Miracles: He's crying on the inside because, though he has moved on, he hasn't forgotten. He has a new girl, and though ``she might be cute, she's just a substitute/Because you're the permanent one.'' Robinson's voice and the impeccable arrangement - especially the signature guitar intro - make this a complete pop classic. Old rock ``Dimming of the Day,'' Richard and Linda Thompson: Over the pretty, melodic folk arrangement, she confesses her pain. He's been gone for a while, but she's still yearning, still hurting: ``When all my will is gone you hold me sway/I need you at the dimming of the day ... '' ``If You See Her, Say Hello,'' Bob Dylan: He's trying to appear breezy and unaffected about their ``falling out,'' but the man is still clearly obsessed with the woman who left him. ``I'm Losing You,'' John Lennon: The song appears on the ``Double Fantasy'' album, but Lennon wrote it long before that, when he was in the throes of an excruciating separation from Yoko Ono. The detuned guitars and his tortured wail capture his torment perfectly: ``Can't even get you on the telephone/Ain't no doubt about it/I'm losin' you ... '' ``You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling,'' the Righteous Brothers: Phil Spector at his extravagant best. This song was reborn when it made it onto the ``Top Gun'' soundtrack, and it remains a bittersweet dose of blue-eyed soul - a perfect snapshot of a relationship on the threshold of ruin. ``Go Your Own Way,'' Fleetwood Mac: Musically, this is a pop gem, Lindsey Buckingham at his finest. The drums and rhythm guitar joust and dance through and around each other, creating a sonic whirl that inflames the singer's confusion and torment. He wants her back, but he's tired of her antics. The song ends in a catharsis of percussion, guitar feedback and harmonious vocals that feels almost joyous. ``Walk Away Renee,'' the Left Banke: Michael Brown was 16 when he wrote this song about rejection and unrequited love. Thirty years later, it still evokes Brown's longing and resignation - his failings as suitor to the woman of his dreams. Modern rock ``Just Like Heaven,'' the Cure: Above a melodic fray of guitars, percussion and keyboards, Robert Smith remembers a whirlwind romance that died because he wouldn't fall all the way. Once he discovers it's over, the regret overwhelms him: ``I opened up my eyes/And found myself alone, alone, alone above the raging sea/That stole the only girl I loved/And drowned her deep inside of me ... You: Just like heaven.'' ``Love Will Tear Us Apart,'' Joy Division: The haunting, brittle, throbbing punk/thrash arrangement defines Ian Curtis' personal anguish: Suffering a broken heart himself, Curtis killed himself about a month before the song was released in England. His lyrics speak of grinding routines, low ambitions and a glut of resentment - the sort of things that pollute love and romance. ``Strange Currencies,'' R.E.M.: When Michael Stipe pours his inimitable alto over the lo-fi arrangement, his intentions seem warm and healthy. But the lyrics suggest he's desperate, obsessed: ``I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance, a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath/Just to fool myself and catch myself and make it real ...'' ``Single,'' Everything But the Girl: This gem from last year's ``Walking Wounded'' captures the emotional vacuum left after the collapse of a long-term love: ``If no one calls and I don't speak all day, do I disappear?/Look at me without you, I'm quite proud of myself. I feel reckless, clumsy/Like I'm making a mistake, a really big mistake.'' Then the mantric chorus: ``Do you like being single? Do you want me back?'' ``Willing to Wait,'' Sebadoh: Lou Barlow wants his lady back, so he asks her to tell her new boyfriend ``that we're more than friends/And that maybe you would like to see me again.'' The heavy strings in this song almost parody Phil Spector - think of ``The Long and Winding Road.'' Nonetheless, they don't subvert a glittering moment of honesty. Some exceptions * ``Valentine's Day,'' Steve Earle: He forgot the occasion, though he promised he wouldn't. Now he wants her forgiveness. His poetry eventually delivers more tenderness than any gift possibly could: ``I ain't got any card to sign and roses have been hard to find/I only hope that you'll be mine this Valentine's Day ... '' ``Anyhow, I Love You,'' Guy Clark: The song opens with one of Clark's patented couplets: ``I wish I had a dime for every bad time/But the bad times always seem to keep the change ... '' He's confessing his sins and his many weaknesses but pledging his faith, promising to be tender and true. In the end, he sounds sincere. ``Tupelo Honey,'' Van Morrison: After creating his magnum opus, the sprawling and unparalleled ``Astral Weeks,'' Morrison turned to lighter, more modest themes. ``Tupelo Honey'' is just a pretty love ditty with a little bit of corn - ``She's as sweet as tupelo honey/She's an angel in the first-degree'' - but Morrison's voice (and reputation) make it all seem warm, genuine and heartfelt. ``This Must Be the Place,'' Talking Heads: The first true love song in David Byrne's cryptic catalog. He's trying to be gentle and romantic, though his language is sprite and quirky: ``You've got a face with a view'' ... ``Love me till my heart stops/Love me till I'm dead'' ``Something So Right,'' Paul Simon: He needs her love but he has only clumsy, feckless ways of expressing it because ``I've got a wall around me/That you can't even see/It took a little time/To get next to me.'' He wants her, completely, though he has a dysfunctional way of saying it: ``Some people never say the words 'I love you'/But like a child, they're longing to be told.'' ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 20:00:53 EST From: toweringsis@juno.com (Shelly L Cook) Subject: Lizstock Thank you's Hey EDA's Yes, I really do have my own address, can you believe it?!

TIM YOU ROCK. I didn't think it would be up THAT soon! don't you have work to do!?!? This whole day has been reruning the weekend through over and over in my head, and ya know when people ask you on Monday morn "how was your weekend?" well my answer is usually "fine" end subject. but today it was "sooo good." and "Fabulous" and the like. and then of course I had to explain what that was all about, cuz ya know, I get excited about...oh... very little, so people knew SOMETHING was different :) and *of course* very few people understood the whole thing "you did WHAT? you met WHO? are you obsessed??" or my favorite... the eye roll. I love that one. My painting Prof was all interested, he thought it was kewl. ANYHOW. back to the subject. It was SO GREAT to meet EDA's!!! It was strange at first, of course. walk out of the car to 20 people I've never seen before and people are hugging me and... ahh, wow. but that akwardness faded and it was like we all knew eachother well and for a long time, and it was natural. Everyone was SO GREAT. I still can't believe I was there, and I can now read posts and hear a voice! and see a face! and feel even more apart of this family if that was at all possible. Larry's balloons and posters are so kewl and are now decorating our already over decorated room. and Pat's bookmark is firmly holding my not-far-enough-place in my Jane Austen novel. I don't think these were mentioned yet??? they have a quote from "POY" and say "Be an Everyday Angel./Don't discriminate" SO KEWL. and I had my first-ever experience of Broomball (does this sport exist anywhere but Toledo???) and it was so funny("GET SHORTY!"). (Might I add here that I live with the new official EDA cheerleader, you know... the QUIET one ;) (I love you, Misty!) and... I got to meet that secret santa I sent all kinda of crazy angel stuff to! (Gerrit!) and even got to ride in his plush, state-of-the-art all handles in tact "car". ;) Met people whose names I recall from that first day I joined this fabuluos list! (Dan and Greg!)

If it makes you feel better about your spanish, I think I did rather RATHER badly on an Art History exam today as a result to this weekend out and about, so you're not alone dear! (but wasn't it worth it? :) IGOR! well.. nevermind. I forgot, yeah, that's it. forgot. ;) LIZ and SHELLY! thank you so much for having us! Who's setting up the Lizstock page of photes, eh? hmm? Liz, how does it feel to have your own anacronym dedicated to your party? :) and lastly (I promise, I'll stop soon!): a brief explanation of what happens to a bunch of sleep deprived EDA's around 2/3am after watching the same video 16 times in a row. "hey, ever heard of that song... by that girl 'who will save your soulS'? and hey, did you know she can YODEL! yea, 'chiming bells' she learned off of old coyboy albums or something." "was that an EIGHT HUNDRED ACRE homestead? are you sure 800?" "no way, she lived in VAN? you're kidding?!" and actually, you can hear part of this lovely silliness in the backround of the snoring sound clip, Rachel and I discusing the eye-brow/blinker yodeling story, anyhow, I know I've been talking WAY TO LONG, and I'll stop now!!!!! if ya'll havn't figured it out yet, this was my first EDA thing, so I'm a bit over reacting here :) Peace, Mia! ~~~~~ Vale et me ama, Amelia S.

Tobin" Subject: Jewel-inspired poetry-kinda? Hi- I haven't posted in, like a gazzillion and two and a half years (really- that long!) Liz-stock seems awesome- I'm so jealous- It figures that once things get going with Jewel&EDA's I have to be isolated in college- ahhh, kinda makes you feel bad, huh? (just trying to get sympathy ;) I live through Rach- who I expect to tell me everything when I call her on Tues!!- oh, and I love you, Rach!!!!!!) but, anyway- to my point- I've gotten in the habit of writing short stories/monologues when I'm pissy/depressed, and yesterday I felt like writing a poem- this is my first poem ever- well, not counting a vampire one I wrote- but, so I hope you enjoy & tell me what you think- I'm not counting on being a poet, I just wrote it on a whim, so be as honest/critical as you want... goldfish- inspired by Jewel Kilchers fish dont know theyre short they just feel sideways and... Duncan All through my live I ve lived free as a goldfish in a tank seeing through the glass thinking Im swimming for miles but actually just in circles around a pale green plastic tree in water that has been forgotten to be cleaned or just not have been considered a priority through my short life I swim frantically trying to make ripples only succeeding in fatigue I see the world distorted through the edges of the tank though I know no better I think I can imagine the truth of a world outside of here while I swim freely in my tank :) -Lara ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 18:14:27 -0800 From: "Shaun" Subject: NJC:My Adventures In LizStock Wow! LizStock sure was great, wasn't it. I feel sorry for all of you who didn't get a chance to go. It was an amazing experince and the first time I got a chance to meet some of my fellow EDA's I left for the party at 6:00am on Friday. No, not Friday the 14th, Friday the 7th. You thought you had a long drive, Duff, I had 100 consecutive hours of driving! Even worse, when I was only about an hour away I realized I forgot to get Liz a present! I had to stop at a gas staion and pick something up. Well, as you'd expect, I was pretty tired by the time I got there. And I was so surprised to see Igor there, and wearing shorts and a hawiian shirt, no less. Well, the party didn't relly get going until Saturaday when everyone started arriving, but everyone stayed up until early morning talking and were shown around the house. I fell asleep early, I had to recover from my week long trip, of course. When I woke up the next morning I woke up in the morning I discovered that there had been many new arrivals throughout the night, including Pat Brown and Duff. We went out for breakfast, and a while after we got back the party van arrived. You should have seen their faces when they saw Igor! I guess I probably had the same expression. Wow, it seemed like every EDA in teh world was in Toledo. There was Igor, Larry, Liz (of course), Shelly, Duff, Selena, Fish (and his family), Paul, Rachel, Tegan, Lauren, Sarah, Pat, Gerrit, Mia, Tim Burkeman, Dan Stark, Jon, Schoolhorse,Misty, Crunch, Crash Boy, Rich, Barry, Greg, Mike, Tom, Eric, Dennis and Iprobably missed someone but that's all I can think of. The broomball game was really a great experience, even though they lost both games. My voice is still hoarse. And I don't think that ref was quite as ugly as Steve Poltz:-) Just joking, Liz! It must have been hard for the team to concentrate with all that noise we made. I'm surprised we didn't get kicked out. After the game we went back to Liz's house, and tehn all the havoc started. I don't quite remeber the order, just some events. There was the sing along of "My Own Private God's Gift To Women", the computer that was always occupied, Greg nearly inciting an EDA riot with his indecent exposure, endless talking and gossiping, constant Jewel music, and finally, we slept and had "group dreams" in the "quiet room" (inside LizStock joke) It was snowing again in the morning (it felt like home!). There were tearful goodbye's and I had to leave again for my week long return home. Oh, I guess my story sort of falls apart there, doesn't it. Kinda hard to be sending e-mail while I'm still driving, isn't it. Okay, I admit it! I didn't go. I just read all the post's and it seemed like everyone was there, and I felt left out. You see, the thing was, I read all the post's and they were so complete I figured I could just fake it and have all the necessary details and I thought everyone who was there would say, "I don't remember anyone named Shaun, but he must have been there, he knows all about it!" So, uh, couldn't we just pretend I was there, and I'll be happy and I can delude myself into believeing it's true. Sure, no harm in that. It's no fair! Why can't all teh EDA's live in B.C.? I'll never get to meet anyone! Uh, I guess I should stop now. And remember: I was there. - --Shaun, Who was at LizStock. Honest! I swear! P.S. Thanks to all those EDA's who wrote up summaries, especially Greg Dunn, Selena, and Tom Harris. They were great refernece material. Wow. I've just finished my fisrt complete work of fiction! Your right, Ashe, I feel like a writer now :-) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 21:26:18 -0800 From: s181@redrose.net Subject: Re: NJC:My Adventures In LizStock replying to all because I feel like it!! For those who know me, you know that I really was trying to conjure up an image of Shaun!! OMIGOD!! You really had me going! I am not that great with names and faces, and DAMMIT, you shoulda kept the farce going! You woulda had Liz asking you what you were wearing!! How many more of you attendees woulda believed that Shaun had been there?

I figure we can all meet at the Corner Mall next to the Orpheum. Since people will be arriving from 4-5:30 this should be a good place to start. For a meal we have options of a Bennigans, Corner Mall, Chinatown, Fanuiel Hall, or the Fuddrucker's we went to for the last getr-together. If everyone coming could e-mail me with their opinion on where to eat and how many people you are bringing ,just so I can get an idea. The number of people might also dictate where we eat. I'll try to have a full plan by tomorrow night. Talk to you soon.
