It is just so stark and bleak. The images it creates are painfully real and desperate. It is beautiful. It is true. Sometimes beauty and truth hurt. My eyes are teary everytime I hear it. Her voice subtly goes from idyllic to dispair to pleading and creates such a forceful mood that it is impossible to deny. Mr. BB has reported hearing 15 and 20 minute versions of this during Jewel' rehearsals (i'm jealous). So, she remembers it and adds to it. But, perhaps she thinks it is just not a song for large crowds.

I am a brand new EDA, and I must admit, I, too was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of mail I received in a few hours, but it's kind of cool, since I love getting mail. I'm writing from home, my school e-mail is a bit of a pain when I'm home. My real address is kmagee@exodus,jwu.edu I read through my first 50 (!) messages and I have responses to some questions. I am a LEFTIE, and I was at the show on Monday night at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. The fans there showed almost no respect for Jewel, people were walking in and out in the middle of every song, even after they were specifically asked to remain seated. Besides that, they were all yelling and screaming instead of listening to what she had to say when she spoke to us. I had standing room only seats, so I was forced to sit in the aisle, and people were pushing and shoving, and kicking, and stepping all over everyone else. There were people that were actually SMOKING CRACK!!!!! I still thought she was incredible, even though the show wasn't as long s I had hoped. She didn't sing Adrian, but Oh well. I was happy just to be in the same room as my inspiration... :o) Jewel will be performing on the Jay Leno Show on Friday March 7, so watch! I will as much as I can't stand Jay Leno. Well, I guess that's about it for now. wish me a happy 20th birthday on Sunday!

She did show up at MuchMusic though, 2 hours later than originally scheduled, and she looked and sounded fine for the brief interview. Unfortunately the VJ who talked to her one of the worst of MuchMusic's bad lot, and his unimaginative, moronic questions drew little new information for us. The one notable thing Jewel did say was that she feels her stardom is putting more of a gap between her and people , and that people seem to think that deserves to be there. She said that instead of people worshipping her and giving her presents, she wishes they would believe in themselves and look at their own dreams are, because she doesn't like being put on a pedestel. The interview was over in a few short minutes, and Jewel didn't perform any music. The camera panned over to the street-level windows a few times, where a small crowd of crazed, delerious Jewel fans pounded on the window and waved posters and Jewel CDs, and generally put her on a pedestel.

So wothout wasting any time, here we go. First I skipped the day from school to see Jewel on Much Music. I waited in the cold for hours, because Jewel was behind schedule (understood). I did not leave the front of the building the whole entire time, and when I did go to the store across the street to warm up, Jewel just happened to arrive. Well from then on the rest of the day was perfect. I saw Jewel dooing her interview from the outside because they did not allow people inside. Whenever the camera came towards the people I had to hide in case my parents were watching at home. As Jewel was leaving, she was kind enough to sign a couple of autographs, even though she was in a hurry. THE CONCERT. There is only one word that fully describes the concert, PERFECT. The audience was so quiet, it was as if I was the only person in the whole entire building. My friend and I were very impressed with the performance of The Rugburns. It was our first time seeing them and we both agreed that they were the best opening band that we have ever seen. The Jewel concert was just wonderfull. Jewel was in high spirits, she admitted that she was feeling giddy. She loved the well behaved audience to the point where she said that ahe wished she could bring us along for the rest of the tour, and we could beat the N.Y. audience with sticks. At one point she forgot the lines for Painters, and asked one of the guys from the audience, I think his name was Paul, to hold the words to the song in front of her. There were many funny and entertaining events durring the night, too many to bore you with. As for the songs, I don't remember every single one in order, but Ill name as many as I can. There were about three duets with Steve, After two of them Steve kissed Jewel gently on the cheeks, which I think was adorable. She sang Little Sister WWSYS Foolish Games Painters Adrian I'M Sensitive YWMFM Angel Standing By The ABCD song Love is a Flower (The Neil Young Song) Race Car Driver Life's a Big Mystery Show Hotel Angel???? Sorry that's all I remember, I was so mesmorized by the show, I don't remeber every single detail. In the words of my friend (Jewel virgin at that) "It was a good fucking concert" At ths moment I feel I need to thank people. My friend Paul who came along and made the concert even cooler. Gerrit for the tapes, they really made a difference, and afcourse to all of you for reading my borring posts I only have one regret, That I wasn't introduced to Jewel Earlier. until next time Wojtek wojtekk@spanit.com "Ana NG and I are getting old and we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence" They Might Be Giants ------------------------------ Date: 07 Mar 97 01:49:12 EST From: Derek Rambeau <102637.217@CompuServe.COM> Subject: 3/6 Toronto Review First off, I'd just like to tell you I'm a new fan, and I'm not very familiar with Jewel's obscure material. Now on with the review... I got to the Music Hall at about 8:20, missing most of the Rugburns' set, so I don't remember the songs (although I do remember "Sky-Fuckin'-Line of Toronto"...hilarious). Anyway, they were real funny, and yes, Stinky did play drums on Steve's feet. Now onto Jewel... She came on by herself, singing "Near You Always", wearing a purple collared shirt, with grey (?) pants. Here's the setlist (although about 2 songs are missing, and it's out of order): Near You Always Morning Song Stranger Cold Song Run, Tonto, Run Moon Over Austin ABCD (All of the Above) (Yes, she did sing this one) Race Car Driver Angel Standing By You Were Meant For Me [w/ the Rugburns] Foolish Games Little Sister Rocker Girl (I think she played this one) Painters Adrian (Yes, she played this one too) [w/ Steve and John] Sometimes It Be That Way Don't Fragile Flame Encore: Who Will Save Your Soul [w/ the Rugburns] Love Is A Rose [w/ Steve] Amen The crowd was far beyond amazing. No screaming during songs, only twice did I hear "I love you Jewel". She was as happy as I'd ever seen her. She talked after every song, even stopping songs to talk to us. One funny moment was when EVERYBODY was requesting songs. One girl yelled out "Play Jessica!", and Jewel replied with a simple "Shut uuupp". She also asked the crowd "Little Sister or Painters?" Both songs got a good response, so she played both. During Painters, however, she forgot the lyrics. A guy in the audience gave her the words, and she invited him onstage. Jewel then pulled out her sheet of lyrics, re-read them, and continued the song. Ironically, she played Adrian, after all the talk about that song on the list. And for the record, I love "Run, Tonto, Run". This, to me, wasn't a concert. It was like hanging out with friends. It was an experience. Jewel talked to us as if we were her closest friends, and treated the Toronto crowd to 21 (!) songs. If ANYONE taped this show, I'd love a copy.

Lucky me, as soon as I swtiched on the TV, there she was! The interview was dull I thought. Firstly it only lasted maybe 5 minutes, the interviewer, Master T., seemed a bit unorganized, and the questions sounded as though they were hastily thought up, so nothing particularly probing or insightful from this interview. One question, however, I would have asked her was asked, which was where she gets her inspiration for her songwriting from, considering she's so young. She made reference to reading a lot of philosophy when she was younger and being exposed to different poets. Does anyone know her philosophical influences? At the end she made a plug for the Rugburns (just before they were to air the YWMFM video) who(as everyone here probably already knows) gave her her first start and she is glad now to help them out.

But why did she say it and what does it mean? 2)What does "ppl" mean? i've seen it used in a lot of posts. i also wanted to recommend a book that i'm reading, its called "Range of Motion" by Elizabeth Berg and even though i'm not done with it yet, i can tell that its great and i think other EDA's (those who like to read of course ;-) would like it too. Its about a woman whose husband is in a coma, and she's the only one who believes that he'll wake up again, so she brings him things from their life together, hoping that it will bring him back. It's the saddest, sweetest story, and it kind of reminds me of Jewel's music, the way she writes most of her songs out of painful, emotional things that happened to her yet she still never gives up! anyway, i thought i'd tell everyone about it. lastly, here's my thought for the day. it's a quote by Robert Valett (i have no ideal who that is): "The human heart feels things the eye cannot see, and knows what the mind cannot understand."

I love being a part of this list, > angels are great people! > love ya, Karen I like that quote! I'll have to save that one. It's worth keeping. My personal favorite quote is from my other fave musician, Billy Corgan: "God bless us all, for what we think and feel is all we really have." When I start doubting my thoughts or feelings because someone starts trashing them, I think of that quote. Itreminds me to not allow anyone else to change my thoughts and feelings but me, for they are the two things in life that are truly mine and should be decided upon by me and me alone. Some ppl view it as a kind of pessimistic quote, but I see it as a rather positive one. It focuses my attention where it belongs. Well, it's 4 AM here, and I still haven't been to bed tonight.

Hi Andre, Well, Jewel and I share a favourite Platonic dialogue. (Oddly I only know 1 or 2 other people who actually _have_ a favourite PD.) That would be the Symposium (which is about love). My guess is she's probably read at least a few others (my big bet is on Phaedo (or maybe Meno), but I've never really got a chance to ask ...) ... I vaguely recall her mentioning something about Nietzsche but I could be misremembering... (I just had a _very_ odd thought... Jewel covers Monty Python's Philosopher's Song! 8-) ) She likes Pablo Neruda a lot and I think she's mentioned Jorge Luis Borges too... and you can certainly tell she's into the magic realism of the latin poets... > first start and she is glad now to help them out.

I drove in and met up with Steve Ito a while before the show. Learned that Dan "TowelMan" Stark would not be there (ya missed a good one). Steve played the MM interview with Master-T it was pretty boring, and Jewel sounded somewhat ok, but not quite up to snuff. I think we all had pretty low expectations for this show, especially after Sean's Beacon Hill review. We got there just in time to miss one or two Rugburns' songs. They were amazing BTW. They work with Jewel, every well. Sometimes she seems like their Den Mother :-) Then after the lights came up we caught Andrew Levstein in the distance up near the stage. I'll say straight out that I think Jewel thinks she owes Toronto something. Admittedly she has always been well received here... ... but it was a loooong set, she was probably on stage for nearly two hours before the encore! This was completely unexpected. Serendipitous even. It was a good show by any means, but it was far from the best TO show. And one has to think that she may have cancelled appearances to save up for TO. {If that was the case, Jewel, Honey,... thanks!} It was a bit quieter than I expected, though there was a lot of screaming, even during songs, one girl directly behind us either screamed or talked during the entire show. *sigh* There were only two proposals of marriage and four or five "I love you Jewel"s and _thankfully_ no one yelled "Take it off". But if people on the list thought this was a quiet show, Bathurst Street Theatre would have shocked them, that show you could easily have heard a pin drop on stage! Admittedly Jewel did win over the crowd a bit and the screaming and talking slowed to a mostly manageable level. I could have been worse though and well, I think the next one will be... ...Beatles syndrome where you can't hear the music for the screaming. Now Derek and Wojtek have already posted set lists so I'll just go over highlights, but I was really MORE surprised by what she _didn't_ do: no Marital Carnival, no Carnivore, no My Own Private God's Gift to Women, no Behind the Wall, no Boy Needs a Bike, no Nikos... etc. Despite missing a few I wanted to hear :-) Moon Over Austin was really very pretty, I wished she could've drawn that one out a little longer. She played an amazing version of Sometimes It Be That Way. And Love Is A Rose was a treat, it was really sweet the way they did that, Steve and I were considering yelling out to, "Make Steve Yodel." But she did anyway. He's a goof, but a loveable goof :-) In all it wasn't BST, but was a lot better show than we'd been lead to expect. Certainly in sheer length it was amazing. But it was nice to see Jewel so happy to be back in Toronto too and looking pretty hale as well. :-) James. ========================================================================== James McGarry | jmcgarry@UoGuelph.CA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I like on the table, when we're speaking, the light of a bottle of intelligent wine. - Pablo Neruda ========================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Mar 1997 09:52:28 -0500 (EST) From: "Elisabeth T.

These last two days have been the happiest of my life, yesterday I FINALLY got to see Jewel in concert in Toronto, and it was the single most greatest concert I have ever seen or heard or been a part of. After the concert ended I was left with a lump in my throat because I guess I felt like crying or something, I had to get my emotions out I guess. Ok I'm going to try to describe what I felt. It was like I was at peace with myself during the concert, I went by myself (tried to look for fellow angels but I couldn't see any jewelstock shirts or blue ribbons and I'm much to shy to approach someone and ask "hey are you an EDA") and that is exactly what it felt like, just me and Jewel, I couldn't hear anything but her. It was like taking a deep breath on a beautiful summer's day. I guess I can't put it into words but just by saying that should explain how I felt. Then today comes around (friday march 7/97, my birthday) and my sister and her friend calls from work and when I say hello all I hear is 'Happy birthday day to you' etc..., well all I can say to that is I have the best Sister in the world and people are not just generally good, they are also all beautiful which made me think of the saying 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' I don't believe this to be true anymore. If this sounds naive well good I guess I'm happier being naive than anything else. Just my thoughts and opinions to all of you, oh and how can I forget what made this happiness all possible, YOU PEOPLE!!!.(EDA'S) well that's enough heartsy smartsy talk. Love ya all. Gian.C. Love is to live and to live is to love. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Mar 1997 12:04:57 -0500 (EST) From: SM_KARTALOPO@ACAD.FANDM.EDU Subject: "post happy thoughts" Hey... Just so you know this may be long and has no JC... I need to babble, because posting happy thoughts is something I rally need right now. You see, in a matter of hours, I am going home for Spring Break, for the week, and home is NOT a happy place for me. So I need happy thoughts just to put a smile on my face so I can go home with at least some sense of sanity. My happy thoughts... Right now I have the mot wonerful boyfriend. He is 23 years old, and an investment banker in NYC, down by the World Trade Center. Hee is brilliant, graduated fromCarnegie Mellon, and for some unbeknown reason, he loves me. HIs name is Suvir, by the way. Suvir is beautiful, smart, funny, gentle, passionate, and can have probably any woman he wanted. BUt for some reason, he chose me, this 19 year old little College SOphomore who is not pretty, who will probably never be as smart as he is or who will never make nearly as much $$ as he does. Maybe he saw the "EDA" in me. I don't know. But he thinks I am brilliant, wonderful, incredible, interesting, and one of the kidnest and most loving people he knows. Suvir has been so incredibly great to me. In the past couple months, he has been such a sounding board for me when things get rough with my parents and when I am completely ready to lose it. I have no seen him in ages, since I go to school in Pennsylvania and since he lives in New York City. I am seeing him sometim this coming week over break, and I can't wait. For some reason, Suvir makes me so happy. He is really busy with his work, and sometims I will go a few days without talking to him on the phone or with a little two liner email telling me he is really busy. I always thought I wanted someone whose life revolved around me and making me smile, but with Suvir, I realize that I don't need that. Just thinking about him puts such a huge wonderful smile on my face that it's all OK. I understand what is important to him in life, and I would be upset if he did not ambitiously go for it just so he could talk to me. And what's cool is that he understands the same with me. He knows that I am dirt poor and can no afford huge phone bills or that my academics mean so much to me. He has gone through that same thing, just a year and a half out of college now. He understands my love of poetry and my love for the poetry I write and the huge importance it has in my life, and he supports that wholeheartedly. Suvir does something that my parents never do: shows an interest in what matters to me. He always wants to read my poetry, sometimes wants me to read it to him. I know it may sound pretty silly to you guys, but that means a LOT to me. There is nothing more special than being able to share my soul with someone who I love dearly. And the most intimate way (well at least one of them ;) I can do that is by reading my poetry to someone, by giving them my emotions, my thoughts, my passions. I never thought I would deserve this. I have always thought horribly of myself, even attempted to kill myself, went throug hanorexia & bulemia. I look in the mirror and see myself as this ugly monster, something not worth living. But with Suvir, I do not see that. He makes me feel so special and so worth it and so loved. And I have been through a lot of shit, too. I have nly had two ex boyfriends. The first on treated me as a mere posession, and he became evilly obsessed with me. The other one, Walton, played mind games with me, abused me emotionally, attempted to rape me, cheated on me with his ex girlfriend, and then dumped me over email. He still attempts to contact me via email and says things that would hurt me (thank god for the DELETE button). After all the sh*t I have been through with men (and with my parents, but that's another story), I deserve this. I deserve the happy thoughts that Suvir brings to me, and I deserve to feel good and beautiful and happy and loved and special. I deserve so much more than what I have been given, and Suvir is this huge wonderful miracle in my life. I hope that all of you have a wonderful next week, since I will be home for break and since I will not have any Internet access to check my email. I just wanted to say thank you for this family that has been created, we are all EDAs, we are all so special both individually and collectively, and we are all incredibly beautiful pieces of each other. I love you guys.

For men it is taboo to do the same. If I were to refer to a male friend in that way, it would imply that I'm gay. It isn't easy to use the word friend. If I said Liz was my girlfriend, I would be called a pediphile. If it were Shelley, I would be suspected of being a pervert seeking a fantasy with the wonderwoman. If it were Selena, she would tell me I'm all talk. And if it were Nancy, Tom would want to do more than just talk to me about it. Now if I told you that Larry was my boyfriend, I would be called a faggot. If it were Erick, Tom M, Tom H, Jared, Sean, or any of the other valued male friends I made on this list, I would be called a faggot. So you think that people on this list wouldn't think like that. Let me quote a couple of comments I got after Tom Harris said some nice things about me. "Just ignore him." "Yuk." "Remind him of the Jenny Jones Show." "I'll kick his butt if he touches my man." "The only part he got right was the tan." "My father has a boyfriend." But Larry said he thought it was really nice. Both of us met him at LS, and found him to be a very special person. If I remained silent about this Tom Harris' letter, I would be just like the shameful prejudice people that I dispise. Tom Harris was formally known as Pat Brown. Now if I just said Pat was my friend, it would not be very clear since Pat is a name used by both genders. Pat is my boyfriend, is much clearer. Some of you have posted asking how you become an EDA. The answer is you will know. No one will have to tell you, you won't have to take a test, there are no written rules or requirements. It has nothing to do with being part of a cult or religion. It has to do with friendship and desire to trust in your fellow human. Some of you have asked about this "Harris thing". What's a Harris? A Harris is the ultimate status of an EDA. The use of that name is reserved for only a special few. Pat Brown rightfully deservers to be Tom Harris. Just read his posts or if you are lucky and get to meet him, you to may be happy to call him your boyfriend. This letter started out very hard to write. It shouldn't have been. I was talking about the word "friend." Why should it be so hard to use such a beautiful word. A word we should all be very happy to be able to use. Just one more thing. Kathy now is scanning all my mail for the name "Harris". Seems she is a little bit jealous. Igor P.S. The next lesson from the street professor will be "How to know who your friends are and what does friend mean"  ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #162 ***************************
