[toweringsis@juno.com] Re: NJC:Angels We need to help a fellow angel [Eric Haglund Subject: JC: Geneseo Concert (2/24/97) Hi everyone!!! I just got back from my first Jewel concert on this tour. =) (Hey, I haven't seen her since JewelStock... at least six months!) It was wonderful! The Rugburns made Jewel's show even more heartening. They brought a wonderful warm fun feeling to it. =) (Well, more than was already there, eheh) I had never seen the Rugburns before, but now I'm a hooked fan. :) I loved the song where Stinky ran around and had fun while John C. stood off to the side and Steve sang. (I know, I shoulda paid more attention to the lyrics, eheh) I also really enjoyed her duets with Jewel during Jewel's set. They sang (in duet) You Were Meant For Me, Old Lover's House, and Silver Lining. Silver Lining was mesmerizing. Immediately after they sang Silver Lining together, I shouted out "Daddy She's a Goddess!!" They didn't play it, but Jewel smirked and asked how I knew 'bout that song. :> I wish they would have played it, that would have been awesome! =) Anyway.. it was wonderful anyway! :P The lighting was wonderfully complementery to her music, tho I don't think I would quite compare it to Sarah McLachlan's FTE tour (nothing has yet). The new Cello (sp? right instrument?) was interesting and was a nice addition to the harmony in those songs. She played a new song that i had never heard before. The most repeated line was "..." ARGH! I can't even remember. Something about your heart. Geesh.. time to go to bed. I thought that someone said something about her not singing any new songs or something, but she DID play Carnivore! Solo, but Carnivore nonetheless! =) And I think she changed it a little at the end, but my memory is horrid so I can't repeat the lines. :( No Satellite or Marital Carnival.. but hey.. :) Someone in front of my yelled "Marital Carnival" after I yelled 1,000 Miles Away (which she didn't play) between songs. since I noticed, I asked where he had previously seen her only to find out that he hadn't, but used to be an EDA. He isn't on the list anymore..but I handed him the Paradise Rock Club tape and told him to e-mail me. :) Maybe we'll recover him yet. ;> I brought Stacy, a wonderful friend from RIT, to the concert. She hadn't even heard of Jewel. :> (Yeah yeah, she's not too much into music and I tend not to spew Jewel over everyone as much anymore unless a good opportunity arises or interest is apparant) In any case, since I thought she would enjoy Jewel and I knew she would be fun to bring along.. she was the chosen one. :) I really don't know what she thought about the Rugburns as I forgot the phrase she used to describe what she thought of them, buit it was positive. =) I had prepared her for my enthusiasm by explaining different things about Jewel and about the list on the way. She did end up enjoying Jewel and didn't mind standing out in the cold waiting for Jewel.. for a while at least. ;) She headed out to the car after a while, but considering standing in thirteen degree weather for an hour isn't the most appealing thing.. no big surprise.=) It was so cold that when Jewel FINALLY came out, when people were yelling (from a distance) "Picture! Just one picture!" she screamed back, "It's TOO COLD!". On a positive note.. although she didn't sign anything, when she was getting in the bus, she saw my EDA posterboard and smiled, saying "Nice poster!" It brought my spirits up. =) I'm hoping that this was out of recognition.. right? Someone has had her sign it.. Right?!?! :) Anyway... At least I got ONE more signature on it. Matty! I met him after the concert. He came up and asked if he could sign it. Wondering why, I told him that I had brought it for Jewel to sign.. that is, until he introduced himself and I handed him my marker. =) A lot of people were interested in the poster and were making comments about it. A few even read it and asked what EDA meant. I let everyone know where it came from and how it referred to us and they thought that was pretty neat. Apparantly not neat enough to ask any more 'bout the mailing list..but oh well. I won't go into details about the concert itself because.. well.. I'm not that good at it. :> I just enjoyed it thoroughly and wouldn't want to mess up the facts as I spew my random thoughts about it out. =) So I'm hoping Matty will e-mail everyone the set list as he DID pick it up off the stage. :) I got there at 6:45pm (8pm show), so I was at least 10 people back. Fortunately, he was 2nd row. =) During "I'm Sensitive", a few people said "Yeah!" when she sang "EveryDay Angels", so .. WHO was it behind me?!?! I didn't *sheepish smile*. but I was thinking of it! :P If you got this far.. thanks for putting up my with rambling thoughts. =) Hopefully I will get Jewel to sign my poster and some of my stuff when Lauren and I see her in Columbus, OH. If for some weird reason you have any direct questions.. I'm here. =) I'm so psyched! Oh #($*#@*($#*@$(#@$*, I gotta get up in FIVE hours for a FINAL! *weak grin* G'night all! :) Gerrit - -- Black Knight - "You yellow bastard, come back here and take what's coming to you.

Subject: NJC: Cricket's girlfriend Derrick, I was in a similar situation last year. My girlfriend's peer group decided (as their hive mind often did) that flirting was fun and cool. So, they all (my girlfriend included) picked a freshman boy (they were mostly juniors) as their designated flirt-object. This annoyed me, but I just took it as a dumb game. It continued, and continued to annoy me, so I talked to her seriously about it (we'd already brought it up). I told her to watch out, because she might be leading Andrew (her flirt-object) on. She told me it was all OK, and I needn't worry. So I didn't. They would hang out and stuff, and she said they were becoming friends. But, she would tell me that she'd talk about stuff with him that she wouldn't talk about with me. . One night, she was extremely upset over something. I tried to find out what ("It's nothing." "What's wrong?" "NOthing." "No, really, what's wrong?", etc.), and after three hours of pleading and an emotional breakdown on my part (I couldn't stand knowing she was upset and not being able to help) she finally told me: she had kissed Andrew. My heart shattered, but I thanked her for telling me, and tried to forgive her and make her feel better. I was under the impression that it was a semi-mistake, you know, too close moment. She then told me it happened more than once. My mending heart shattered again. But, I forgave her and all but forgot, and we stayed together for a while longer. It turns out that she held a torch for him (she told me she hadn't) and started going out with him two weeks after we broke up (we had been going out for almost two years). I'm not trying to say anything, because I don't know the half of it, but make sure to keep an objective eye on the situation. It can easily get out of hand. tim gavin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Feb 1997 02:54:55 -0500 (EST) From: "Emily S. Hess" Subject: NJC: Info. for Kerry!!!

It is definitely worth the $12? Also, I have the Duncan Sheik CD. I saw them when they opened for Jewel at The Theater of Living Arts last May, and I bought the CD shortly after it was released. From what I heard from them at the show sounded decent. Well, I LOVE the CD. I know someone on the list said it was bad, but I like it. It is a very mellow, relaxing CD. I recommend buying it.

(not on the list) pieces of you little sister sometimes foolish games you were meant for me run tonto run deep water fat boy random (pretty sure this is where i'm sensitive was) thought i saw you silverlining random (daddy) angel standing by encores:who will save your soul carnivore yodeling throughout almost every break, she spoke with the crowd and told stories. i got the impression that she enjoyed this, and i wish i could have seen some of her earlier shows, where she was just talking to a hundred people instead of two thousand (that what i heard tonight's show held). it was so packed in the gym, that teenage girls were fainting due to the lack of oxygen. smack in the middle of two songs, girls were lifted over the barricades. this happened three times near me up front, i'm not sure if it was a gym-wide problem. congratulations to those of you who have scored front row tix for the rest of the tour. if you have general admission tix, here's a tip: get there first. the feeling is undescribable when jewel is singing and she looks right at you. it's bewildering. right off the bat, she asked the crowd to stop talking. (actually, after near you always). she said, "you're more than welcome to talk, but do it outside." then some guy screamed, "I LOVE YOU, JEWEL!!" to which she smartly replied, "shut up." later on, that same guy did it again, and she goes, "you're easy." she told stories about singing POY at some model convention, (which was funny), the jeffersons, college, and her mexican drug raid. steve was out on stage quite a bit, and i must say i was more than just a bit jealous. her expressions said it all when they sang ywmfm together. i've never seen a smile like that before. so, basically steverino single-handedly foiled my plans for jewel to fall madly in love with me, upon which point, we'd be whisked away to a desert isle. oh well. i know garrett was there tonight, any other edas? we stood out back to try and get autographs, but because of her cold, she didn't want to stand around - just board the bus. we waited a half-hour, but it was worth it just to see her wave to us and say thanks for coming. if i've told any inadvertant fibs in my account of this story, please feel free to correct it. i can't wait to see her the next time she comes around....... take care-- - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message was brought to you by: Matty Nangle Syracuse University mcnangle@mailbox.syr.edu 315-443-8905 "Your New Rock Alternative" 89.1 - The Pulse - WJPZ-FM "I am at one with the Universe..." -- Chris Farley (Beverly Hills Ninja) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Feb 1997 07:00:38 -0500 (EST) From: WARKIDZ@aol.com Subject: Re: I am going, baby!!! me too i am going to see JEWEL the luv of my life final!!! after a year o= f waiting i get ta go YES!! i am so happy when i think about it i get cold chills on march 15 my dream will come true!!

After Sunday's New Haven show, we were road-bound until someone discovered they had left a bag of original 8x10 Jewel photographs back in the theater -- dooh! Hey, it's not like anyone at the show whould be interested in a stack of really nice, candid Jewel performance photogr... (uhh, nix that...) Anyway, we went back and I ran into the Rugburns at the front doors. I said hi again to John (a helluva nice guy) and finally met the man -- Stinky himself! Well, strange as it may sound, the two of us hit it off like two nuts in an Almond Joy (tm) bar! I really like the "bang a drum, stand up and dance" style the Stinkster does...in fact, I told the Rugburns they looked like a marching band! Well, sit down, 'cause here's a shocker -- Stinky usually doesn't drum that way, but the more CONVENTIONAL method of using a full drumset (I know, I find it hard to believe myself). The way he does it now just seems so natural, know what I mean? But he had to go with a reduced drum set, so he said to hell with it, he'd do it this way. Too cool. So, we're talking, and he signs my pudding box, and then asks if I'd like a door pass for next weekend's sold-out Rhode Island show...what a nice guy, huh? Then I like offer to adopt him, and he's keen on the idea, and, well, he basically asked to be a Harris Brother (just like you, Selena!). So we did an abbreviated version of the "ritual", and viola! The world of Jewel welcomes yet another Harris Brother! Stinky Harris, frontman for the Rugburns! If you haven't heard him yet, he's backed by John Castro on bass, Steve Poltz on vocals and a very sweet little batty Yodel-Honey (tm) named Jewel...coming to a venue within a days drive of you! Incidently, the Rugburns remind me of throwbacks to the Austin 70's bar scene. They have fun. No acting, no glamrock, just kick-ass music. See these guys. And tell Stinky that Harris said hello. Speaking of pudding, I met Erica, the Pudding Girl. We exchanged gifts (button-pudding-balloon was the order, I think) and hugs, and well, she's definitely falls on the Harris side of the fence as well... ;) Erica and the Rugburns signed my pudding box (JELL-O (tm) instant chocolate pudding, for those curious to know). I'll close with these profound quotes written on my pudding box: "The Great Puddini" -- Erica "Erica Rules" -- John Castro "I like my baby's puddin'..." -- Stinky Harris "Pudding is shit." -- Steve Poltz - -- Dennis (There's always room to sign on a Jell-O pudding box) Harris ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Feb 1997 9:35:55 -0500 (EST) From: CONNELL@taurus.cs.lmco.com Subject: Charlie Rose/Hands Manifest Thought Pool!!!

It used to be a select few would UPS themselves backstage to the venue (with airholes), and even fewer without airholes. Jewel used to look surprised when you grabbed her by the ankles. Now she just looks like she's already been there, done that. And it's not much of a challenge anymore, either. Security is VERY lax on the Tiny Lights tour. I suspect a frisbee "incident" to occur before long (you listening to me, Sinjin?). Friday night in Boston, a guy gets up on stage with Jewel and gives her a flower (at least they escorted him out). Sunday in New Haven, some parents stand up and ask (insist) that Jewel let their kids give her something...so she lets these two kids come up onstage and give her a UConn Huskies shirt. Jewel reasons with the crowd that she HAD to, that the girl was cute, crying and eight years old (so it wouldn't work for me, I guess)... Encouraged by Jewel's generosity, a line of people later walk up the stairs and stand behind Jewel and Steve while they're singing a duet! THOSE people were finally led offstage. Then, a line began to form down the right hand aisle. It began to look like opening night for the "Star Wars" re-release. Sheesh... After laying low during the "Jewel off-season", I am now armed with a new screen name (designed to minimize suspicion -- wink, wink), blue ribbon and a portable printing press in the back of my Dodge Colt...the quest begins anew! Well, Friday night I was in the balconey, getting the lay of the land and profiling Jewel's movements (yeah, like she's done the same thing the same way twice on this tour). I had taken all necessary pre- and post-show precautions to avoid any APB's outstanding from last fall's fiascos. (Alternating states between shows works well -- MA, CT, RI, ??) When Jared discovered he had been towed and flagged down that Boston cop, I kept my hand on a "throw-down" donut (just in case I was recognized). My Sunday plans were on a "need to know" basis only. However, throwing caution to the wind, I parked directly across the venue in a public garage. I sat within sprinting distance of the stage, and mingled in the crowd. I wandered onto the Jewel tour bus and re-folded their map (tsk-tsk) ... Now, I've cleverly gotten myself on the guest list for the Rhode Island show (under an alias, of course -- not JewelStalk, too obvious). But...there are some real nuts out there, you know? Stalking isn't the same, guys. Jewel is getting too damn popular. I'm waiting for her to greet me next time with something like "Oh, thank God it's just a Harris Brother, I thought it might be one of those fan people!" * sigh * (Not that this is Harris, mind you, 'cause it's not, he's nowhere near any of the shows this time. No where close. And thank god for that, 'cause it wouldn't be much of a challenge for him anyway!) So, the shows are really good, and seem to change daily. Jewel seems to be enjoying herself immensely. The Rugburns are the perfect opener for her. But the "YODEL" shouting drunks are in full force, and there is a tendency for the crowds to want to clap along with the songs...what the hell is with that anyway? - -- Ennis-day Arris-hay, DA-Eay Esignated-day Talker-say * * What, no one ever took Latin (pig or otherwise)? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Feb 1997 09:38:34 -0600 From: cdallner@usr.com Subject: NJC:Chicagostock '97 Well it looks like a lot of people would be interested in having a chicagostock. I am definitely thinking summertime because that's when this city has the most festivities going on. I'll look around and see when the good festivals are going on and then post it to the list to see what gets the most votes. I'm psyched for this :) Let me know if you would be interested because I'm starting a list of interested people. thanks! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Feb 1997 10:51:42 -0500 From: Billy Subject: Re: NJC: Stalkers on the left, please... > But...there are some real nuts out there, you know?

I really feel we need to do something for her. Having a net nanny is one thing I understand that. To have Jewel and this list taken away from her is wrong. We all know Jewel is a wonderful, positive person. She sings about real life issues. I really feel her father is being to strict on her. Her father's actions are really upsetting her a lot and I do mean A LOT! Growing up in a very strict/abusive home environment I hate to see this happen to anyone else. I really feel we all need to write a rational well explained letter to her father. Or have kimberly show them to her father. We (the list) are all truly special and we need to show her father that. Jewel has not made us into bad people she has made us into these beautiful angels. If I were a parent I would much prefer my child to listen to Jewel any day over any of the current bands. Her father should be thankful she doesn't listen to gansta rap. Do you think he'd like her going around thinking that it's kewl to degrade women by calling them b*tch*s or H*es (edited for possible net nanny k-line attack) or would he rather have his daughter listen to someone who has struggled hard to get where she is and appreciates everything and is a truly special positive person and a wonderful "role model" for any person any age. So please angels let's help kimberly out please email her and ask her to show our positive letters to her dad and hopefully he will understand that Jewel is good. Kimberly's Email is : magpie@crystalwind.com Thanks for listening and Kimberly you have my full permission to show this letter to your father and he is more than welcome to write me back.

I'm trying to make plans to go and I want to know if I should be going extra early to get front row. By the way who is going to this show?

Kimberly's Email is : > magpie@crystalwind.com > > Carrie > > I'd have to agree with some of what Carrie said. I don't completely consider myself an EDA....not because I wouldn't like to be, but, because I am fairly new here. I'm just a person that tries to be kind. It seemed to me, when I read Kimberly's post, that her father was reflecting the song "daddy" upon himself, and wasn't listening to the words of the song. It seemed he felt threatened by it. It is a mistake that any person can make out of fear, and fear makes people do irrational things. Maybe we'd be better EDA's by showing Kimberly that we support her, giving her a few tips, but, not getting too deeply involved. It is her father, after all. Sometimes holding back a little is the best thing that someone can do.....staying out of the direct conflict. Getting too deeply involved may cause things to become worse for Kimberly. I think that we could, over the list, I suppose, just at least give her a few points of advice, show her that we care, and hope for the best. We may be angels, but we are only human, after all. Brendan P.S. If anyone would care to elaborate upon this....show their own ideas...feel free to do so. We could plan it out better that way, and remove any imperfections in what I have written. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Feb 1997 14:27:36 -0500 From: Brendan Pugh Subject: Jewel Theme I have moved the location of my Jewel theme for windows 95.

Jewel has not made us >> into bad people she has made us into these beautiful angels. > I agree with Carrie. I think it is a shame that we could lose a member of the list do to a misinterpretation or disagreement of a song. Jewel truly is a special person whose voice is far more powerful than many other artists. She is hardworking, determined, and always positive. These are qualities that anyone would find valuable and acceptable. I don't know what we can do but we should do something. -Eric ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #127 ***************************
