This is exactly opposite of the truth. As reported earlier (by Mike C?), her name is Jewel. She toyed with changing the spelling of her name during high school like many of us did. That's all.

Go back to a year ago, when you were the only one in your neighborhood that knew the words to that new single "Who Will Save Your Soul" and that Jewel's music only got better as you dove into the other 13 tracks on PoY. Back then, we were excited to hear her at all on the radio and even more excited to see that big sign of her hanging up in Best Buy. We posted to the list, announcing every time we converted another person to Jewel-ism. Now, she is getting "too popular"??? As for how Jewel is going to handle the fact that "roamer" fans will listen to her because it's the trend...not too long ago, she was sleeping in her van. You think she gives a damn? As long as she has Everyday Angels and other more casual but sincere fans, then she will be happy with her fan-base. I would much rather have ignorant fans to ignore than nobody buying my albums. Besides, the more $ all those people fork over in the name of our Blessed Kilcher, the more we get from her. Okay, for legal and practical purposes, this is all IMHO. - Mark - Mark ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Mar 1997 01:36:10 -0500 (EST) From: Gambit731@aol.com Subject: Re: howard stern on letterman talking about jewel...

Has No Doubt come to the point where they have become so famous and popular that people are getting sick of them?!? ;) As a big No Doubter, I have to stick up for them. I remember some friends of mine that would write to No Doubt and they would receive written responses from the band. But now, they're too famous and busy to have time to write back. Now, some of my friends feel different about them. All because of the big hype the country and some other countries besides the U.S. is making about them. What if Jewel comes to this status? What if people start saying what HeyJupitar has been saying about No Doubt? Will we ever hear anybody say, "I'm so tired of hearing Jewel! I hate Jewel!"??? Geez..I hope not. =( Though No Doubt has said that they would try to remain as much as themselves as possible, even with all the hype, it's really hard for them to do so. They said they look at themselves, and wonder if they're the same people as before, and that they make sure that all the publicity hasn't changed who they really are. Hope Jewel can do the same. =) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Mar 1997 01:27:55 -0600 From: "Damon Schmidt" Subject: Tommorow at Minneapolis!!!!!!!

The Shining! I had my library put that book on hold for me, and I'll get started on it as soon as I finish up the book I'm reading right now, called "Range of Motion" by Elizabeth Berg. About "The Shining", I picked that book, because Bush's "Greedy Fly" video is based on that book. And anybody out there that also like Bush, I can't really recommend it yet, because I haven't read it, but if you're interested as to how that very graphic and very gory music video got their ideas, read the book! =) About "Range of Motion", I picked that book out for my book report, because a fellow EDA on this list recommended it. (You know who you are =)) Anyways, he/she said that it very similar to Jewel's ideas and style of writing. And I agree. I'm on page 60 (out of 200+), and it's very good. One of the best books out there. It's very very moving and if you're that emotional type that likes to be moved by someone's high spirits, then I really recommend this book! =) On an entirely different note, I would have to say that the best book I've ever read is "Night of the Fox" by Jack Higgins. Anyone else out there read that book? It's just the BOMB! I love that book, mainly because I like stories about wars. It's about WWII and it has a lot of suspensful and very very exciting, surprising things happening ALL THE TIME. The book doesn't drag at all, and just gets better and better after each page. Jack Higgins is a genius, and you'll love the way he moves the story along. Each ending of a chapter will just want to make you keep on reading! The surprise ending will just blow your in away, and you'll never forget that book. Also, another book I like is "Alicia: My Story" by Alicia Jurman. It's about a holocaust survivor that had to go through a lot of amazing things to survive the holocaust. In fact, she got sooo lucky a billion times, that I started doubting the reality of the book, which is said to be a true story. Our history teacher made us read it, and a couple of months ago, the author, Alicia, came to our school for a visit. It was great having one of the last remaining holocause survivors at our school! It's a great book, and you should check it out! =) Well, that's enough of my bookwormingnish... =) Mark (sparksmark@juno.com) I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins, and I swear to God it won't happen again - --Jewel "Sometimes It Be That Way" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Mar 1997 02:50:16 EST From: sparksmark@juno.com (XX SpArKs XX) Subject: Re: howard stern on letterman talking about jewel...

Hmmm...since this has come up, I figure I should throw in my two cents, as useless as they may be with current inflation... I'll even break them up into a bit by subject... Fantasy: Anything by Terry Brooks: Sword of Shannara, etc. Anything by Terry Goodkind: Wizard's First Rule, etc. Science Fiction: Anything by Robert L. Forward: Really good technical SciFi. Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard: Seems kind of silly, and I don't really recommend dianetics, but this was actually a very good book. Also nice and long... General Reading: Richard Bach: Pretty much anything, but certainly recommend "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" Richard Adams: Everyone should read both Watership Down and The Plague Dogs. Comedy Reading: The Dilbert Principle by Scott Adams: Fun stuff, and I can relate to so much of it that it may just become my bible while I am still in the Navy. Private Parts by Howard Stern: It really is a pretty good book... The autobiographies of Peter O'Toole: He just came out with his second installment. The guy is an amazing storyteller... That's all for now. If you want more suggestions, give me a ring and I'll be happy to suggest other stuff...I read too much anyways...

Be warned, though, that any novel Dostoyevsky will take a long time to read, partially because of the sheer length (often 600 pages +) and partially because his works are so very thought provoking. I often find myself reading for half an hour, then I start to think about the themes and all and end up spending the next half hour staring at my bedroom wall, deep in thought. I don't recommend him to everyone, though. Notes From Underground is a great Dostoyevsky short story to read if you are interested in seeing what his writing is like. If anyone is interested in discussing Dostoyevsky, don't hesitate to e-mail me! I love to go on forever about him. Now for my 2 cents on the whole "good books to read" discussion..... If you like Fantasy or Sci-Fi I recommend anything by Piers Anthony. He's a truly gifted writer and writes so many different types of sci-fi and fantasy novels, that if you like this genre you are sure to find *something* by him that suits your tastes. And I also recommend Asimov if you are a sci-fi fan. I never seem to get any time to read any of his full length novels, but i love his short stories. If you like dark, brooding, what-is-the-meaning-of-life types of clasics, I recommend anything by Dostoyevsky. He is not for everyone, but I, personally, love him. I am currently reading "The Idiot" by him (as well as "Emma" by Jane Austen...I read whichever one fits my mood at that time. If I'm interested in humor, I turn to "Emma", but if I'm feeling particularly pensive, I turn to "The Idiot"....it's great). I also recommend reading "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo. Next to "The Brothers Karamazov" by Dostoyevsky, this is my favorite book. It is a long book (my copy was 1,227 pages long :x ) but i recommend reading the unabridged version, time permitting of course. I think it should be required reading for life. I origionally read it because i loved the play, but I think it is far better than the play. It covers so much more ground that it seems as if the two are totally different works. They have the same themes, basic plot,characters and imagery, but are so much different that it is worth reading, no matter how many times you've seen the play or listened to the soundtrack. If you read "A Tale of Two Cities" in school and liked it, you'll love Les Mis. On a side note, does anyone on the list know where i can find any of Hugo's poetry on the Net? I'd prefer the poems in French because all the translations I've seen sucked, but I'd be happy with English as well. It is really hard to find any of Hugo's poetry at all here in bookstores in California, let alone in it's origional French. Any leads would be appreciated. I can't seem to find any with the search engines i've used! :x Have a great day Angels, and happy reading!

When I used to work for Target, we did an Annual Celebrity Autograph Auction ( I was highly involved with this - co-chaired the year before I left Target). Anyway, during the time I was trying to get autographed books from some well known authors, including Steven King. We were sent back info that he will autograph two books per fan sent to him with the return postage paid and self-addressed packaging. If anyone want this address to send him books to get autographed, just e-mail me and I will look it up (It might take me a day or to to dig out my database file for it). Also, supposedly Dean Koontz does not autograph books for fans, but I sent him two books (one for me and one for my sister as a christmas gift) and not only did he sign them, but he sent us each an autographed copy of his companion book as well. He also contributed to our autograph auction each year with at least a book and usually a t-shirt or something as well. (BTW, the auction was a charity auction to benefit the United Way) Anyway, this is getting entirely too long for a NJC post, so I'll wrap it up....

I recommend any novel by Kurt Vonnegut; Breakfast of Champions, Slapstick, Galapagos, Slaughterhouse Five, etc. Also, "Henderson the Rain King" by Saul Bellow. And, of course, "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller, the ultimate satire of politics and war.

The best book I have ever read is The Fountainhead by Ayn (rhymes with pine) Rand. It is a rather lengthy book, but entirely worth it-- especially for anyone who believes in standing your ground and not giving into society's various expectations and restrictions. In closing, all I have to say is Oh my God, this book is amazing. It forces you to think.

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but during her concerts, Jewel encourages us all not to be afraid to follow our dreams and do what we love. Jewel, by performing music professionally, is following her dream. She needs all her fame, and all her fans, whether EDAs or fair-weather, to support her. Otherwise, she would be back in her van in SD. If there were no record deal, no concerts, no fans, many of us EDAs and other fans out there who are not on this list for various reasons could not have been affected by her as we have. Her music has taught me that I have never been wrong for being friendly with the people whom "popular" people didn't like for some shallow reason or another. Her music has touched me in many other ways, but I don't want my post to be too long. Le tme put it this way. If she didn't want this, we wouldn't see her doing Leno or Letterman. She wouldn't still be promoting. Foolish Games would not appear as the thrid single. She wouldn't have asked us to call and request the song on the radio. I don't se her doing shows in larger venues than the ones she is doing now, but she definitely wants what she has. As Jewel says herself, fame is others perception of you. Fame doesn't change you, and as long as Jewel is not changed by her fame, it is all right.

Originally, I placed her and her songwriting in a similar class with Alanis (who doesn't write many of her own songs anyway), Liz Phair, Ani DiFranco, and Dar Williams. I have not been exposed to Tori Amos's music, so I could not make that comparison. I would now have to remove Alanis from that group. I still don't know Tori's stuff.

HELP!!!! aw, come on, you gotta love howard, even if its just for the audacity to pull off what he does. you have to admire his determination to not let anyone fuck with him. the man doesnt take any shit, and he worked hard to be able to get himself in that position. - - -greg Aw, come on, I think howards worth less than a pound of Blow-Nog from santa claus. Intresting enough though if you replaced Howards name in the quoted message with Hitlers name the results would be strikingly similar. Let's not give credit even where it's do. As for Craville, hey his an old back alley chum of Mr. Bill, you all know his reputation with breasts. Way to go Jewel for telling him off.

Miles" Subject: WWSYS Dear fellow angels, I hope this question isn't an old one that's already been asked. If so, I apologize. Here goes. On my copy of POY, the version of WWSYS is different from the one Jewel performs live (at least at the Philly show). I think it's the radio edit version since the lyrics are different (the verse about "hope you're health don't go to hell"). I was just wondering if this was an oversight by the record company or if it was meant to be that way. Once again, I apologize if this question has already been addressed. Being new and everything, I'm not exactly sure what has/hasn't been discussed. Thanks!! Tom ps- To all the angels who have welcomed me to the group, I thank you. To all those who I haven't met yet, I hope to do so soon!! :) - -- Thomas N.
