D. Butler Hi: I'm sure this is old news to most everybody, but for a while I was only receiving odd-numbered Digests -- so I read only half of what was being posted here. Having some time tonight, I've been visiting the Jewel archives and, along with enjoying all the wonderful posts about peoples' lives (and the occasional stray into auctions and things that shall remain history) I read for the first time the post by R.D. Butler that Sean Hooks responded to several dozen Digests ago. FWIW, I have to agree with Sean, the post was well written and outwardly was appealing in form -- a very interesting read. But underlying it was a disturbing message that I guess couldn't be articulated at the time. (And since it took me this long to find and read it, that's probably all for the better.) The subsequent posts of Butler that took on a self-righteous, even messianic, tone put it into focus. In this society, which spawns cults like the Heaven's Gate family, it's important to distinguish between the dreams of peace and innocence and delusions or the dreams of power. And flowery words can disguise a lot. R.D. Butler and/or a friend of his, Tom Burgin, used to post things on the babylon 5 newsgroups which is great as long as one remembers it's sci-fi and not the history of the world. I just hope that for all the good that people can do on this earth, real dreams aren't supplanted by fictional ones. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Apr 1997 13:09:54 -0700 From: howenow@imagen.net (Adrian Duplessis) Subject: Jewel's birthday thoughts I'm as excited as anyone to hear what Mr. BB has to say about a plan for Jewel's May 23 birthday. In the meantime, I was thinking about what people are saying about the monetary element. What about making a conscious effort to recognize Jewel's birthday by being especially EDA-like? If everyone made a point to, on May 23, to do one special thing, above and beyond whatever they do in their day, to help someone -- an older person with getting their groceries, a younger person with school-work or some other problems, someone their own age do whatever (maybe just listen to someone that needs to be heard), patch things up with someone you've scrapped with, help out a few hours at the SPCA, do some kind of personal or community service... Whatever. These things don't cost any money and they'd sure be in the spirit of everything that Jewel stands for... Just a thought. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Apr 1997 23:23:44 -0700 From: "Eric Burford" Subject: My Poetry Hello EDAs, I don't post that often, but I must say that I have enjoyed all the poetr= y that has been posted in the past. I also like the fiction that has been written. I have decide to post one of my poems (I have volumes of this stuff). I wrote this for a friend was homesick at college, but today it carries man= y different meanings. Plus, I love lighthouses. I hope you enjoy!.... The Lighthouse The stars have gone into the clouds And the sea has gotten rough, There is no way to navigate home, And the wind is just to tough. Afraid of going further, Fearful of the blight, Traveling alone at sea, Many have known that plight. Entering the rocking waves Searching for a bay, Struggling to survive out there Only to knell down and pray. Still searching For a sign, A way to beat the tempestuous night, With hand on brow searching To find the glorious light. On jagged ridge of coast, A tower is there to shine And watch over souls, so they=92ll Live to be safe and fine. Let the rays guide ships in, As it comes to shore Let the house welcome you With it=92s open door. Enter in and seek refuge, Because the storm had you lost, The relief that you come to know Will be the only cost. This is a place to hide=20 From life=92s rumbles and bouts, This is a place to set aside Any of life=92s doubts. See this tower was built to shelter every lost ship, For this reason alone I keep the light house lit. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*= ~* The things you fear are undefeatable Not by their nature but by your approach --Jewel Eric Burford the Phenomenal Phenom=20 phenom@inreach.com *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*= ~* ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Apr 1997 02:32:15 -0400 From: Crunch Subject: Re: Jewel's birthday thoughts Adrian Duplessis wrote: > What about making a conscious > effort to recognize Jewel's birthday by being especially EDA-like?

I love it! We could formally > name May 23rd -> "Angel Day" !!! > > =) Crunch Crunch's thought to name May 23 Angel Day is an inspired idea. Jewel's message is always that we should not direct all our energies and power into her -- by marking the day as something special to act in her spirit, we're recognizing all that she's given us by sharing it with the community around us. Like Kris and others have written to me, it's very Jewel-ish, plus it'll be fun to think of good things. Whatever anyone can do in a positive spirit helps -- if you see someone crying stop and ask if you can help, stop traffic to let a deer across the road (or a snake or a frog... ok, I live in the woods, but you get my drift), talk to a brother or sister or parent or child about something important to them. We are everyday angels, and on May 23 we have our own day to show it. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Apr 97 04:51:31 EDT From: Burkeman Subject: Our Big CLB/Elizabeth Hummel weekend A mini-EDA gathering (which is becoming a monthly event, apparently) happened this weekend featuring myself, Mia, Dan Stark, and Liz, (four of the five oddyseumongers, Shelly of course still being in California.) Anyway, after a Friday night (in which I found myself in a limo (won by my neighbor) passing Dan's building in Windsor, Ontario, and in a casino, (to get the whole story email me)) we all located ourselves on the Case Western Reserve University Campus. I'll skip to the interesting stuff. After seeing the Sunday matinee, Mia had to stick around to strike the set, and since Dan and I had nothing to do (Liz had homework) we helped strike the set, a welcome use of physical exertion for us two, and helping Mia get out earlier. We eventually head back into town for dinner. Since we have nowhere to eat our food, we go across the street to the venue where there were FOUR acts scheduled to play, in the following order: SUCKY BAND 1 SUCKY BAND 2 Cindy Lee Berryhill Frogpond In any case, while eating our dinner, Cindy comes out. I introduce myself, Dan and Liz introduce themselves, then Elizabeth comes over and we all do the same. I deliver a message from Larry, which they appreciated, and, as we suspected, CLB would be going on stage around 11:00 and playing for 45 minutes, no Elizabeth. Well, Elizabeth really wanted to play somewhere, so where do we go? Down the street to the Arabica coffee house. Dan goes and gets Mia, and imagine the setting: Cindy Lee Berryhill, Elizabeth Hummel with guitar in hand, and us four in a corner of a coffee shop with a noisy sound system competing with our hearing. Dan is granted permission for a recording (heh heh we wonder what it will sound like) and sets up in front of Elizabeth. In any case, Elizabeth played a number of songs, both requests and new songs, with beautiful harmony by Cindy Lee. Meanwhile, the performance is going basically unnoticed by the rest of the people in the shop. Cindy also takes her turn with a song she isn't going to play tonight. Basically, we sit and spend time before Cindy Lee is supposed to go on stage. We chat about a number of things, including Elizabeth's song "The Goodwill Store" (written after she saw Jewel & Steve sing Silver Lining) the songwriting method, and learning to play piano. It was really a great time, I served the ladies drinks (the cost of getting a private concert) and we eventually ended up back at the Grog Shop with Cindy Lee on stage. Cindy Lee Berryhill is a fantastic live performer. BOSTON & NEW YORK EDAs TAKE NOTE! Go see them play, it will be worth your while. Elizabeth sings harmony on some of the songs, fabulous. Many CDs are sold afterward, including copies of Elizabeth's CD (I had previously obtained mine through other sources) which is also highly recommended by many including myself. We finally help them move the meager equipment into the rental car, and say our goodbyes. I roll into Tiffin at 4:00. Another great weekend with Mia, Dan, and Liz! Just going to show you how EDAs can really stick together and have a great time! - -tim 'burkeman; ______ ____ ___ / ____/ / __ \ / | Tim Burke / __/ / / / / / /| | tburke@mail.heidelberg.edu / /___ / /_/ / / ___ | /_____/ /_____/ /_/ |_| "I am a worm." -Jewel ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Apr 1997 12:57:32 +0300 (IDT) From: Reggev Michael Subject: NJC - Passover break Hey guys, my Passover break starts in a couple of days, and will be in effect for a couple of weeks, so if you want something more urgent from me (like the tabs, if you didn't get them yet), write to me ASAP, and I'll handle it as soon as I can.

Basically it takes pictures, sounds, and icons that have to do with a certain 'theme'(in this case Jewel) and incorporates them into where applicable. Examlpe: It would take a bunch of sound bites and set them up for all your sound effects (i.e. asterick, exit windows, default sound, start windows, etc.). The same applies for icons and pictures (one picture for the desktop) and icons for 'my computer', 'recycle bin', 'network neighbothood', etc. And sometimes it will also include mouse cursors (i.e. instead of an hourglass, they will have a light saber ,for Star Wars, etc.). As for the Jewel Theme Pack I'm not sure what it has because I don't have it. Let me make it clear again that in order to operate the theme you must have the PLUS pack for win95, or have WindowsNT. Now you can get the theme pack and setup all the sounds, etc. by yourslef since all of them (as far as I know) are accompanied with the sounds, icons, pics, etc. The PLUS pack just does it for you.

'Twas Danny Ferrington, and after a short Yahoo search I discovered an interesting tidbit: he also custom-built a guitar for Kurt Cobain four years ago. I copied the short article I found about Ferrington, and reproduced it here. Most of it is Cobain stuff, but there's also a little about Ferrington's general style. From the sound of it, he deals primarily with electrics, so I may have Jewel's guitars confused (Big Blue is definitely acoustic). If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. By the way, Big Blue is even prettier in person, even if it's a bit smaller than I had originally thought. Here y'all go: THE FERRINGTON GUITAR The luthier Danny Ferrington made a custom guitar for Kurt in 1992, based on the Fender Mustang. "Kurt is left-handed, and he really likes the Fender Mustang he's been playing for a few years. But his playing style is so rough, and left-handed Mustangs so rare, that it was beginning to look as if his favorite guitar was going to break apart right out from under him. I'd talked with Nick Close, one of Nirvana's roadies, about trying to find replacement necks for the Mustang, but finally Kurt called me to talk about ordering a new custom guitar. "Nirvana left for Australia a few days later, and Kurt faxed me a great little picture showing where he wanted the pickups to be and what shape to use for the body. It was the first time I'd collaborated by fax, and I thought it was real fun to be designing a guitar by long distance using such a modern communications technology. "I built his guitar to be a lot like that old Mustang, except we used a Gibson-style bridge that's better at keeping the guitar in tune, and I made the neck a little straighter so that it won't be so apt to break when Kurt plays it hard. It's tricky making left-handed guitars, though, because everything on a left-handed guitar is counter-intuitive for me. Right off the bat I made a few mistakes on Kurt's guitar, so finally I took to labeling all the parts 'This Side Up' to remind myself that I needed to do everything backwards. The guitar turned out real well, and a few months later Kurt came by with his wife to pick it up. Just after he started playing it he stopped dead in his tracks and said, 'This is like my dream guitar!' His wife asked, 'Honey, are you gonna trash this one too?' but Kurt got this horrified look on his face, and in a solemn voice he said, 'No, this one's going to be my recording guitar.' I was tickled to death, and it was incredibly satisfying to hear that I'd hit the nail right on the head. [18] The Ferrington guitar is distinguished by several features. It has heart-shaped fretboard "dot" inlays, a stylized "f" (for Ferrington) on the peghead, three pickups (which look like single coil neck and middle pickup, and a humbucker bridge-position pickup), and an almost-Mustang pickguard where the plastic continues right down to the control knobs (this section is chrome on actual Mustangs). The Mustang slide switches are replaced with a toggle switch where the input jack would be. The actual input jack is a Stratocaster- style jack mounted below the pickguard. The body is basswood, with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. Its finished in what Fender calls sonic blue, with a red-swirl mother-of-bowling-ball pickguard. I don't know of any pictures or footage of Kurt playing this guitar, but this could be because it was used only as a "recording guitar." ***** - - Carter, Not Completely Sure What a "Luthier" Is - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Take Care, James. ========================================================================== James McGarry | jmcgarry@UoGuelph.CA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- An artist should be fit for the best society and keep out of it. - - John Ruskin ========================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Apr 1997 09:27:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Michael Cherman Subject: jewel theme pack does anybody know where i could get the Jewel theme pack? thanks, - --michael cherman newport beach, ca "In the silence we hear who we will become." -Jewel ============================================ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Apr 1997 16:49:42 -0700 From: howenow@imagen.net (Adrian Duplessis) Subject: Re: Jewel's birthday thoughts I only get the digests so I haven't seen any posts other than what people directly e-mail to me. But I wanted to make it clear that the Angel Day idea is based on the principle that while we do our best to be as good as we can everyday, it doesn't hurt to have one day to recognize such deeds and to make a point of making them. And like any commemorative day, marking a day (even to call it Angel Day like Crunch's idea) doesn't mean that we're not worthy or trying the other 364 1/4 days of the year. It just means we're human and "don't you know, no on alive can always be an angel" (from a great song, Don't Let me Be Misunderstood) so we make an extra effort on this one day to individually, and collectively, try to remain in the spirit. Plus, rather than going around on May 23 and telling our neighbours we're happy because it's Jewel's birthday (and they'll think, "yeah, so, another birthday of another pop star...") if we're engaged in good works above and beyond the day-to-day EDA level, then people can be inspired by that -- and if anyone wants to say why they did an especially good thing, that's cool too... I know we're supposed to appreciate our freedom every day, but we choose one day each year (July 1 in Canada, July 4 in the US) to reflect on our independence and what it means to be of our nationality. We're should honour those who've died in war every day, but we choose one day each year to collectively stand in silence. We're supposed to love our loved one(s) every day -- but we choose one day, February 14 each year to add extra expression. What's the Christmas spirit about, anyway? I guess my point was that it might be a good idea, that everyone can participate in, to, as a group, mark this one special day in a way that unifies the purpose of EDAs. Even if some people are doing things like that every day (but it's hard I expect, for many, people with work, school etc. to make that special effort every day), anyway, it can't be bad and it might be more in keeping with what Jewel would wish for (and rather than donating money to charities, and some people don't have money to donate, we're donating our time and energy to charities, our community, our families etc). We can all mark it in our own way. Well that's about all I have to say. I'll wait til the Digests roll in and see what others think.

I think the point of our society marking these days is so that they'll stand as reminders to everyone in of the community of the values we believe in and should uphold everyday in our lives. At least that's how I've always looked on such occasions, not as an excuse to be a slacker year round, but as a reminder that we are one, and we can always try harder to make our world a better place even in little ways -- coz nothing is really little. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Apr 1997 12:08:14 -0500 (CDT) From: dkaracos@marlin.utmb.edu (Derrick) Subject: Anyone received Rockfest Tickets?

I think we should individualize our own day and report back to the list in the week afterwards. Usually all it takes to participate is a call to the United Way. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Apr 1997 18:15:28 -0700 From: howenow@imagen.net (Adrian Duplessis) Subject: Re: Angel Day On Monday, April 14, 1997 10:54 AM mike g fulcher writes: > I can think many themes from Jewel's songs we could use to > contribute ourselves back to the community on her birthday.

What a great way to put it -- "to individualize our own day" and reporting back is a wonderful way to share different experiences and learn about caring. Good point about Mother's Day and all it means, too, from domestic violence to the homeless. I live on a small island with no United Way office, but I'm going to look into what services exist here. I do know there's an SPCA here because too many farm animals get mistreated. So that may be how I individualize my day. Have a wonderful day, Adrian ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Apr 1997 16:04:37 -0400 (EDT) From: "Sweet lil' Angel" Subject: Re: jewel-digest V2 #266 ummmmm i would really appreciate it if someone could send me a poem that is 14 lines or less easy to remember really good by you JEWEL or someone else i need to do a recitation for my english 243 class intro to poetry, and i am having trouble find something i like thanks love meg ********************The Coolest Bitch On The Planet*********************** ***You Betta Reckonize*** "Your hands are in my hair but my heart is in your teeth..."-Jewel "You expect conformity well it doesn't make much sense to me, individual thought is thinking for myself wrong, try and see a diffrent light" -LOYAL TO NONE ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Apr 1997 13:20:17 -0700 (PDT) From: Joanne Elizabeth Matson Subject: Jewel sick?! Hi everyone :) Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I read in the paper a few days ago that Jewel has a non-fatal but painful health problem (I believe it said it was with her kidneys). Is this true - I hope not! If it's just a rumour would someone kill it please. On lighter notes: 1) Besides "Carnivore", has Jewel said what songs will be on the new album? 2) Has she made a video for her reported next single "Near You Always"? 3) If she gets bumped off the cover of "Rolling Stone" in favour of "Soundgarden: 1985-1997" (which is a ugly but very real possiblility) I will be choked :( Cheers :) Joanne "This is a quiet song - so shut up!" - Jewel ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Apr 1997 13:26:12 -0700 From: Kevin Steenbergen Subject: Re: For you.

Her face lit up like a a six year old girl on chrismas morning looking at all the presents. It sounded like she was about to cry when she tried to speak. But all that came out was "You guys". You had to be there to feel the vibrations in the air creating a concrete version of the feelings in that wingless angel's heart. When ever she hears the words "Everyday Angels" or "EDAs" her face lights up. For those of you who have never met her, I can't really explain how much she really loves you, even though she never met you. During the soundcheck, she asked us to call radio stations and request "Foolish Games", I felt my chest almost burst with pride that she would ask us for our help. The dialog went like this(she was still on stage during this conversation): SDA:Hey Jewel, before I loose you... Jewel: ::shakes her head, as to welcome a question:: SDA:We've been calling radio stations to try to make them play "lockjaw", should we continue with that or shift our attention to "Foolish Games"? Jewel:both!! You really have to ask Steve that, he's back here somewhere. Since he's with a new label I would say "Foolish Games" and work on his new album when it comes out. Just to review when we call radio stations, we are not EDAs or fans of Jewel in anyway. We are fans of music and as a random sample of the general public we want to hear "Foolish Games". If you choose to call a station out of town, be sure to dial *67 before you dial the number so they can't trace the call.
