In my admittedly deliberate naivet‚, I took that (along with the rest of that paragraph) to mean that Jewel really liked the sentiment, as a reflection of her and her EDAs wanting to find a way to "be spiritual and live in the world without going to a monastery." I think that she likes the fact that it's cheesy!

Hi Angels, Everyone knows of the "which 3 c.d.'s would you take to a desert island" question, right? Well, I'm going to put it to the test! Ok, not exactly. See, I'm going on a cruise in exactly one week. (Yes!!!) My family and I are having trouble packing lightly, so I need to bring as few extra things as possible. But we all know Jewel is a necessity!! I can't go a week without my tapes! Usually I bring as many tapes as possible wherever I go, literally, I can't leave the house without them! Anyways, my problem is I figure I can only fit about 3, ok maybe 4. (5 please?) Just 3 I guess. So I thought I'd get my wonderful angels to help me out with this delimma. I don't know which 3 Jewel tapes to bring! I have: Innerchange Days 1 & 2, JewelStock 1, 2, & 3, Rare Angels, Radio Angels, Live at John Ansen Ford Theater, Jewel Rocks the Paradise, and Jeweltide Carols. (Hey Tom P., did you notice one is missing?!!!? I'm searching everywhere, turning everything upside down, but it may be on Panama City Beach!!! I'm so mad!!) Oh yeah, of course Pieces of You. So thank you to all angels if you'd like to help me out. One more thing, please respond to me personally, I'm so behind, I won't be able to read it on the digest. Thanks so much for reading.

Jewel Kilcher says in the May 15 Rolling Stone. ``I just want to tell kids, `Come on man, get excited!''' The 22-year-old singer who began performing with her father in Alaska at age 6 vaulted from obscurity - and poverty - with her Top 10 hits: ``Who Will Save Your Soul'' and ``You Were Meant for Me.'' Before her album ``Pieces of You'' came out, she was living in a van and performing in San Diego coffee houses. ``I surfed, I wrote a lot, and all I owned was a backpack, a surfboard and a mattress,'' Jewel says of her days as a struggling artist. Since then, Jewel has performed at a inauguration party for President Clinton and has opened for big-name acts like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, including a gig at Madison Square Garden. Nevertheless, her success can still take her by surprise sometimes. ``I always thought I'd be borrowing $5 for gas,'' Jewel said. AP-NY-04-26-97 1402EDT Copyright 1997 The Associated Press.

Several people have mentioned that they were upset of Jewel's characterization of the EDA posters as "cheesy". Now, despite my desire to instantly and ferociously run to the defense of the love of my life, Larry, (we haven't set a date yet) and chastize Jewel for her comments, I won't. I sit here and look at my one of two copies of the EDA poster hanging on my wall. I don't personally think it's cheesy, but I can see how she construes it that way. If somebody drew a picture of me with wings, I'd die laughing. As much as I think she is flattered by the angelic image, she definately has a pleasantly cynical and aggressive side to her that is hard to reconcile with this image. I see her comment about the posters as one of bemusement, not an insulting one. Next, Hello Happy People!! I have been reading many posts by newbies and not-so newbies recently that focus on maintaining a positive attitude. I must say it's awfully refreshing. I've only been on the list for about ten months, but lately I've seen some older members struggle with keeping a nuturing, optimistic attitude. I myself have difficulty at times staying postive as I frequently have a short-temper and a tendency towards biting cyncism. I have been in one of these moods for the past several weeks, and I can't tell you how much these recent posts have inspired me. Whenever, I am sure the list has taken a turn for the bland, a newer member has come along and reminded me why I got involved in all of this to begin with. So let us remember to celebrate the newer folks they way parents should celebrate their children. Okay, I have to stop now as I begin to get physically ill when I get the "warm fuzzies".

Why do some people think it's so strang and weird to go see jewel overseas or somehwere else and go to show after show. What do you think the deadheads did that followed the Greatful Dead they were not weird, yeah they might seem a little odd for follwoing the dead around from show to show but they became a communtiy made money from shirts, rugs, etc. Which I think is similar to us we are becoming our own little community/family and making money to donate to charities, practicing kind acts, etc. When you think of it we aren't differnet from the deadheads except for the band we follow is jewel so maybe we can chnge from EDA's to Jewelheads :) I thinks it's the most wonderful thing to just go and see in her a samll venue. I will never forget seeing her at the metro last year and being right by the stage and then comparing it to this year not being able to see her that well but having just as wonderful as time i'd go and pay the $300 bucks to see her in a small venue again.

It's a reminder of the ground where she and her brothers played, where he worked long days haying and gardening, where she rode horses. It's also where Jewel was first introduced to music and to the perfection of the natural world. This is the personal perspective that Jewel brings to her Atlantic debut release, "Pieces of You." Produced by Ben Keith (Patsy Cline, Neil Young's "Harvest" & "Harvest Moon"), the album features live solo acoustic performances recorded at a San Diego coffeehouse, along with tunes recorded at Neil Young's Redwood Digital studio with support from his longtime band, The Stray Gators. Growing up on the Kilchr homestead -- settled outside the town of Homer by Jewel's immigrant Swiss grandfather -- luxuries were few. There was no shower, no TV, and the bathroom was an icy outhouse. But courtesy of her parents, an Alaskan singer/songwriter duo, there was always music and singing on the homestead. At age six, Jewel began joining her parents onstage and on the road, and soon her yodeling routine was a regular feature of the show. Later, when her parents divorced, she continued to tour with her father, singing in bars and restaurants for much of the next seven years. Jewel's love of poetry took root at an early age. Her mother taught the three children about art, poetry, and music. "Through those lessons, I was given a tool," says Jewel. "After my parents divorced, I started writing poetry a lot because I didn't always know how to express myself. That, to me, is the real beauty of writing: it makes you more intimate with yourself." Kilcher spent her junior and senior years of high school at Michigan's Interlochen Fine Arts Academy on a vocal scholarship. "My two years there were a turning point," says Jewel. "I saw a bigger world. I immersed myself in everything -- drama, dance, sculpture, music." It was at Interlochen, in her senior year, that Jewel took up the guitar and first began to write songs. After graduation, Jewel joined her mother in San Diego for sun and surfing. "Despite my surroundings, this was a difficult time for me," she relates. "I felt a lot of social pressure to figure out what I was going to do with the rest of my life. I had no desire to go to college but I also felt no peace in traveling or just bumming around. I got a number of dead-end jobs ... got fired a couple of times. I was frightened and a little depressed. The idea of spending my life in a 9-to-5 job made me feel trapped and hopeless." To be free from those pressures, Jewel decided to give up full-time work and live in her van. Happily camped out, living on a shoestring budget and a diet of carrots and peanut butter, she began to live her dream. She surfed, wrote poetry, and hung out in coffeeshops writing songs. Local musicians shared their gigs with her and soon the owner of Interchange Coffehouse offered her a weekly gig. To Jewel's surprise, ever-increasing crowds packed their way into the intimate Pacific Beach venue. Something was up. Her shows were consistent sell-outs and eventually local writers began to stop by. "Her voice is many things, all of them beautiful," wrote San Diego's Slamm magazine. "When she opens up, the sound is crystalline and pure." Much of Jewel's music is about reaching out and making a personal connection, unfiltered and immediate. The 14 songs that make up "Pieces of You" possess stark honesty and keen insight balanced by an ability to absorb life's realities and tell a story that somehow makes sense of it all. At its core, the album's instinctive wisdom is amply reflected in "Who Will Save Your Soul," the first single. As with many of Jewel's songs, the lyrics come from observing the people around her. "One of my favorite things to do is sit and watch people walking by," she says. "I remember the details of what people look like -- their expressions, their posture, their words. I make up their lives to be tragic or boring or brilliant or normal." Possessed of a vibrant imagination fueled by the vastness of the Alaskan wilderness, the musical instincts of a life-long performer, and the courage to cut her own path in life, Jewel embodies a singular poetic voice. But if you listen closely enough to "Pieces of You," you may well discover a piece of yourself lying somewhere within the songs. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Apr 1997 21:29:23 -0400 (EDT) From: EDAngel1@aol.com Subject: Re: NJC: RS Article and Happy People Hello again! I know you guys are probably tired of reading my happy posts! You are probably wondering what the hell is wrong with me? Why am I posting yet another "happy newbie" post? Well, I'm posting in response to John Reade's post. I am a happy newbie! I was so happy to find you guys and I was even more happy when so many kind EDAs offerred to send me some angel food.

But lately there seems to be many non EDA-like things being said on this list. I can understand people feeling the urge to engage themselves in a debate.

If you REALLY have a beef with someone why don't you send them a personal email? When I go online after a crappy day I get all excited to here what the EDAs have to say.

Oh, if you want to tell me that you hate me posting these redundant letters all the time please be nice about it and send me a personal message okay? :) "Please be careful with me, I'm Sensitive, and I'd like to say that way" ~Jewel Mary wannabe angel "I have this theory that if we are told we're bad, That's the only idea we'll ever have, Maybe in we are surrounded in beauty, One day we'll become what we see." ~Jewel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Apr 1997 21:31:57 -0400 (EDT) From: CornflkGl@aol.com Subject: NJC : Patty Griffin in Northampton :) WOO HOO ! Patty Griffin, at the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA, on May 21st !!! Never mind that the show in on a wednesday night, in the middle of my finals week, and I'm supposed to work that night... fuck it ! Oops.. sorry kids... screw it :) . I'm going anyway ! Last time Patty was supposed to come to Northampton , she ended up doing a free show that night in Maryland instead. This time, I'll finally get to see her ! YAY !! Okay, here's the deal... the phone number of the Iron Horse is 584-0610. I don't know how to order tickets or anything, because around here we just buy them at music stores. The Iron Horse is a great little theater/restaraunt. Usually to get good seats, you have to come very early and eat there. This is where I saw Eleanor McEvoy, sat in the front row, and had her dedicate a song to me and invite us backstage. Backstage is VERY accessible... and I know where it is :) I don't know if Patty's opening for anyone, or when the show will be, or anything :) Hey, I just found out tonight... IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN GETTING TOGETHER BEFORE THE SHOW, write back and tell me ! I know lots of places we can meet :) I can also give directions... and we can do something afterwards :) YESSSS !!! Rachel :)_ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Apr 1997 18:37:32 -0700 From: Scott Hamilton Subject: my mailbox is gonna explode, i reckon... regarding the poster ("an opportunity knocks..."): you guys are awesome! while i tend to agree that some of you border on hero worship, i still think it's great that you are so freakin' enthusiastic. here's the scoop--in the six hours or so after my post, i received about a dozen replies, and since i only had one poster to give away, i'd appreciate it if everyone held off on any further requests. the first couple of people were notified, and i'm assuming one of them will come through with an sase and claim the thing. still looking for "breakfast with jewel," by the way. got lots to trade. thanks, scott ps--to those who asked: no, this orange county is in california. sort of the unhip, materialistic, right-wing bedroom community to los angeles. since you asked... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Apr 1997 21:40:25 -0400 From: Joshua Baummer Subject: Sorry Jewel doesn't curse in"Daddy" but...

I have 2 things to say: 1, Can somebody tell me the lyrics to Where have you gone Jimmy Dean Jimmy Dean?? It's not on the Pieces of Jewel lyrics page which has about every other song on it, and it's my favorite song. Also, can someone send me the tabs? I want to be able to sing it and perform it!!! 2, This is about my Jewel poster, the one from On Cue which I was so excited about? If you don't remember, this is the story: I was in On Cue, and I saw the Jewel poster, you know, the one of her leaning against a tree. Well I saw it and I was like, "OH MY GOD, I have to have that!!!!" So, on the advice of all y'all who are on this list, I talked to the guy who worked there and he said that he'd call me when they were going to take it down. Well, I waited for about a month and they never called. One day, I went to On Cue--the poster was still there. Oh well... Then, one day 2 weeks ago, I was in town taking my ACTs with some friends. We decided to go to On Cue to see if they'd buy some used CDs. Well the guy there was a major dick. First, he wouldn't buy the CDs and told us that they were all useless and pieces of crap. Then, when I saw that the Jewel poster wasnt' there, I asked him about it. Him: oh the jewel poster?? We threw that away. Me: WHY???? Someone told me that you'd give it to me!!! Him: I know. We have your number. Me: so why didn't you give it to me???? Him: we just didn't feel like going through all the trouble of calling you! Me: but the guy I talked to seemed so nice and trust worthy! He knew my uncle!! Him: and your uncle is... Me: Martin Schmutterer Him: oh, the person who said you could have it is me then!! Me: you seemed very nice and trustworthy!!! Him: how old are you? Me: 14 Him: well that's a good age to deal with disappointment, and learn that you don't always get everyting that you want. WHAT A DICK!!!! I was so pissed. He treated me like a little kid, like I was too stupid to know what was going on. I was so mad. First I didn't get my Jewel poster, and then I get shat on. Ick. So, a word of advice.... Even if people tell you that you can have Jewel posters--even if they know your uncle and think he is a cool guy--don't trust them. so, now you know. I just had to tell you that... it's been bugging me for a long time. toujours CJ 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" Scwenchville: http://www.bmtc.net/~lehmann/cj.html lehmann@bmtc.net * peachfuzz27@hotmail.com * gloriana13@hotmail.com peace * love * lythe ...on the advice of my attorney this sig file has no comment at this time... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Apr 1997 22:19:34 -0500 From: Ashe Mayfair Subject: Mediadome Well, I missed most of the concert... again. Was this the San Diageo show again? Either way, what I heard (I got there in the middle of Silver Lining) was great, I'm just glad I got there for the poetry. That was great (never done that before? RIGHT Jewel! ;]). Never thought that I would truly die when hearing WWSYS again, but wiht the chelo was amazing, and John on bass for that song is THE BEST!! I just wish that the Mediadome people would put that show up as a .RAM file for a while. Oh well, guess I'll go see if anyone is on #Jewel, hope to "see" some of you people there :] - -Ashe Mayfair: The Longshot Angel ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #306 ***************************
