Anyway, I got back and found out that someone had smashed in the drivers side window of my truck and stold my 3-in-one and my CD changer with, Save the Linoleum, Pieces of You, Seal (1994), Jill Sobule, and Chris Isaak Forever Blue CD's in it. I guess it happened last night (Saturday) when the security guard left his post at the college, for a break. I had parked in the closest spot to the guard station too :( I filed a police report but I know I won't get anything back. I feel sad that someone had to break into my truck and steal my stuff. I just wish I understood why they had to resort to taking other people's property (and I hope it was for a real good reason, like to feed a starving family, then I would understand) Oh well I guess that's the way things are sometimes. On the brighter side, my trip was one of the best experiences of my life, and I found a new roomate for next year, a major plus.

Newspaper grabbed this little blurb from the "People in the News" section of my local paper, the Las Vegas Review Journal... "JEWEL'S VALUES REMAIN UNCHANGED" Fame, fortune and adoring fans haven't changed Jewel's values. "I'm just a person who is honestly living my life and asking, 'How do you be spiritual and live in the world without going to a monastery?'" 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. "I always thought I'd be borrowing $5 for gas," Jewel said. ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** It's accompanied by a black/white picture of her performing on Hard Rock Live with a caption that says "Fame, fortune and adoring fans have not changed the values of Jewel seen during a television performance on March 30, 1997." ***************************************************************************** small, i know, but it made me smile to find it stuck in there among all the "hearts being broken, and people being used" ... heh heh heh... sorry. :) - --Lisa "OH MY GOD!

Fortunately, as we all know, concert tours and life are a lot more than single events and the positivism of Jewel and EDAs can't be long spoiled by such elements. I agree with Dave and others who have posted about appreciating all the good here -- and to thank Jeff Wasilko for maintaining this list. Not only can it be easy when dealing with an electronic medium to forget that real people are on the other side of a post, it's too simple to overlook that there's someone like Jeff who makes this forum possible. Proper respect for his efforts should keep the character of this list centred. Where I live I get more local news (the migratory habits of hummingbirds, the raise in ferry fares etc.) than national (Canadian politics etc.) and even less U.S. news, but on the boat home tonight I read a small item about Colin Powell and Volunteer Day (I think that's what they call it) and even about there being a link to the TV show, Touched by an Angel, and it struck me how similar this sort of volunteer spirit was to what we've all been generating on this mail list. Has anyone else felt this? It'll be great to hear about what people are doing to help others -- there were lots of really good ideas posted here recently. And a good post was made about procrastinators -- I'm one of those who's in support of the EDA Gift project but still has to get around to doing something about it. (Hands manifest thought -- and where's Jerry Lewis when you need a prod?) Time to pitch in! And poems, pillows, guitar picks and everything else going on, it's nice to hear about. And it's good to hear from R.D. Butler again (through Gianfranco's kind reposting). As a new week starts there's a lot to be happy about. I have just one question -- did anyone come up with an answer about whether or not Jewel's song Down is recorded or transcribed anywhere? I love so many of her songs, but, right now, Down is one of my favourites so I'd really like to know the answer. Thanks in advance.

Good God! Some of us "veteran" list members go off for a week or two to work on projects and surprises for everyone, and this is the crap we come back to? I'm ashamed for us all. * tsk tsk * Well, here's my unsolicitated opinion of the situation: 1) If the guy asking for the nude Jewel photograph was serious, well, you have the wrong list, fellow. Search the internet and find some scumbag site for a fake jpeg! If you were JOKING, well, think out your jokes a little better, my friend. That one was lame, and poorly thought out. It upset many people, and distracted them from "manifesting" good thoughts and actions for several days! Next time, send me your letter BEFORE you post it and I'll review and critique it for you. I've told (and pulled) a few jokes myself over the past year, and a few of them were pretty damn funny... =) I'll also reveal the creative use of smiley faces and winkeys to convey sarcasm and joking mannerisms effectively! 2) Casey, chill out. Judging by your recent posts, you sometimes seem far too angry for a self-professed EDA. And your personal flame war with your buddies via the list wasted the time and tried the patience of over one thousand fellow fans. EVERYONE who threw out insults and fanned these flames contributed to wasting at least 15 minutes of everyone else's life, who then got to stew over their anger or frustration, which I'm sure they "shared" with their friends, family and co-workers. So much negative energy. Life is too short. Inconsiderate actions hurt others. (Danke!) =) 3) If ANYONE gets an uncontrollable urge to hurt someone else, show some courage and creativity (and if your a guy, some cajones) by doing this: Walk up to the biggest, toughest biker-dude you can find, stand on your tip-toes and punch him square in the nose. Then laugh at him...maybe offer to show him naked pictures of HIS mother...I guarantee you will learn a very important lesson and your karma will be redeemed immediately. The point is, don't hurt the innocent folks on this list. We got teenagers here, we have famlies, we have an incredible range of personality types here...some of our mothers might even subscribe! And they deserve better than that. And if you feel they don't deserve better, do us all a favor and leave this list and go to the newsgroup: alt.fan.little.boys.hiding.behind.keyboards.playing.games ;-) 4) If you guys want to refute someone's lame post, please don't REPEAT the crap and give it more publicity and validity! You say anything enough times, and it slowly begins to be legitimitized by your simple act of repeating it! Quote enough to get the point across, or paraphrase it...just don't foolishly PROMOTE what you really mean to squash! This goes for subject lines as well...look at what you are posting for your fellow angels. Every time you post "Re: Harris Sucks!" Only to say: He does not! So-And-So Harris, it shows up in the digest header as: "Re: Harris Sucks!" "Re: Harris Sucks!" "Re: Harris Sucks!" "Re: Harris Sucks!" "Re: Harris Sucks!" (Get the point?) ;-) 5) Let's keep the language a little cleaner, okay? Usually when folks post terse, one sentence insults and profanity-riddled posts, it's a sign that there was a lack of ideas and vocabulary on the poster's part. Try multi-syllabic words (and they can't end in -er)... it's really fun to exercise your vocabulary, try it sometime! And if you do find an appropriate use one of those four letter words, it will really stand out among all the other "big" words you've used. 6) This list cannot stand unnecessary turmoil at this time. Anyone choosing to create problems at this time is contributing to it's demise, pure and simple. If you feel a need to create havoc, ask yourself if it is worth destroying this most unique method of bringing together folks in brotherhood and friendship -- just to bring attention to yourself and whatever hell it is that you want to raise. Personally, I'd hate to be responsible for bringing such a beautiful effort down and depriving so many folks of their "safe haven". It would be hard to look myself in the mirror in the morning, that's for sure. But you've got to decide if you're going to be part of the problem or part of the solution! I know a lot of you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing EDA events and get-togethers first hand, and until you meet the faces behind these screen names, you can't truly appreciate them. I've met over 300 list members since May of last year, and I have shared some of the most remarkable experiences of my life with them. Next month, I'm hoping to get at least five dozen of them together in New Jersey for the Looney Tunes Great EDAdventure. Many of us will play, eat, sleep and * gasp * even shower (!) together... and a few other surprises I'll announce this week. Yes, this is the Mother of All Gatherings (despite not including a Jewel show -- dooh!)... I also hope we all straighten our plastic halos and start walking the walk of EDAs -- by helping our fellow man. It can be something as simple as listening to a lonely person or holding doors for strangers, or something like donating your time and energies to assisting with a local charity (or an individual in need). Two list projects now underway include a BLOOD DRIVE and CHARITABLE DONATION DRIVE for an individual Jewel has recommended. For details on the blood drive, email me privately. For those who have already responded and saved lives, you guys make me proud! - -- Dennis (this is that EDA list, right?)

It dawned on me that I haven't posted about either the Hot Dog Fest or the Hummell/Berryhill concert given for the EDAs this past month. And that includes bathroom stories from BOTH events! * ahem * I'll try to correct that situation this week. ***Rev. Jim posted something very important: >>t won't be long before Jeff pulls the plug, and we'll all be on USENET checking for Jewel tour info between posts of porno-spam... And then we'll all know exactly what we've lost.<< That's the bottom line, guys. We have all stumbled onto something special here, and whether we mean to or not, we are endangering it by posting inflammatory threads and stupidly flying off the handle. NJC posts are for sharing and caring, not flaming and laming... Go online to the internet newsgroups and look at pretty much ANY fan list and you'll realize that porn/spam is about ALL that other groups have to dig through every day. They have lost their innocence and are virtual strangers in a virtual world. And I doubt many of them get invited to private concerts by the folks they are discussing, or have a membership that shares free tapes with each other (most ask for payment or extra blank tapes for their "trouble"...EDAs don't consider sharing music with each other as trouble, but as a pleasure). JewelStock 2 is probably a long ways off, but in the past ten months my relationship with this list has brought me the opportunity to attend THREE private intimate concerts in three different states (by Jewel, the RugBurns and Elizabeth Hummell/Cindy Lee Berryhill). Any of these could be considered as "once-in-a-lifetime" events. And more important, many of the EDAs I shared them with are now "lifelong" friends. So, I'm going to share well-known "secret" that many of us are already privvy to -- the first time you meet EDAs at a Jewel show, you meet EDAs and focus on Jewel. The second time you gather, you go for the EDAs and often forget about Jewel until she gets the microphone and a spotlight in a darkened room. It sounds strange, but it is VERY true. In a three day span this month, I saw Jewel on six occassions in California, and was within five feet of her three of those times. She only had my UNDIVIDED attention one time, and that was when SHE said hello and asked ME how I was doing (I have no less than a dozen EDAs to confirm this, so there!)... at all other times another EDA held an equal or greater amount of my attention. You too can develop this admireable form of fan restraint by discovering the magical friendships of these people. (No joke!) Of course, GOOD LUCK ignoring me at the get-togethers! ;-) Watch for posts for the New Jersey Six Flags Looney Tunes Great EDAdventure this week, and send in those RSVP's! We need to arrange discount tickets this week as well... - -- Dennis (Jewel? Jewel who?)

I know there are a few of us down here in Florida and a few more in a couple nearby states if we want anyone to be able to attend. I'm in the Clearwater/St. Pete area myself. This may be all we have since shows are few and far in between. Also, I'm thinking of attending a Lilith Fair show, whatever is closest, maybe Atlanta or NC. We should think about a trip if people are interested.

If any of my friends ran up to me saying they had a naked picture of her, I'd probably punch them before they could show it to me. Despite her being amazingly beautiful and sexy, I don't really want to see her naked (unless we got married).

Magee" Subject: CAN WE PLEASE STOP THE INSANITY?!?!?!? Umm, Guys? I know, I know, everyone and their sister wants to end this thread, including me, but I feel I just hafta chuck my 2 pennies on the counter here. I usually check my mail at an obscenely early hour (after my 7am class) and I was really upset this morning to find this whole dumb thing about the nudie pictures and the outright meanness of this Al character. Have you ever heard of an angel being as mean as this? I haven't, and I hope I never have to. I think that someone should send a few of Al's recent posts to Jeff Wasilko (sp?) long with a complaint and see what he has to say on the subject. If he wants to remove Al from the list, it's fine by me. We are actually losing some good EDA's in this war. People are actually unsubscribing because they don't want to see all the flames. Can we please JUST BE NICE?!?!?!? A whole 'nother topic... I just wanted to ask everyone to wish me luck as I am going into that scary territory I call trying to get back an old boyfriend (we're talking REALLY old, we went out 3 times in the Tenth grade, now we're 20)...

I know everyone hates these dumb short posts about nothing, but I think, actually, that "positivity" is a word that was first coined in the late 80's and you will never believe who said it... none other than the post-trapdoor-accident-all-of-a-sudden-I'm-a-rapper-not-a-new-kid Donnie Wahlberg from New Kids on the Block. OK I'm gonna send this now before all the people sitting around me here in the computer lab try and kill me for mentioning the dreaded NKOTB word...:) Love, Kelly If you love it, let it go. If it comes back, it's yours forever.

"It's morning time, I wonder where I where you are. Wonder who your talking to. I wonder if the sun has risen where you are........" Wow......I love this song.....especially the beginning......it makes me think of my friend Carrie that I haven't talked to in over 2 months. :( ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Apr 1997 10:05:17 -0400 From: Jaime Subject: NJC: never introduced myself I realized that I've been on this list for a week or so now, and I've replied to people, but I've never taken the time to introduce myself to the list as a whole. My name is Jaime, I attend McGill University in Montreal, Canada. I'm working towards a degree in Computer Science. (btw, I'm female!) <--have to say that because of my name! My first encounter with Jewel was on the Joan Osborne mailing list. I don't like the local radio stations, so I never heard her songs until I bought Pieces of You. I still have difficulty taking the CD out of my CD player! I have no angelfood (hint, hint!) Anyway, I'll contribute to the list whenever I think that I have something useful to say! I like to sign myself: Jaime (a procrastinating angel) Has anyone taken that name, if not I'll change it to: "the" procrastinating angel! anyways, i like the activity on this list... jaime (a procrastinating angel) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Apr 1997 07:30:57 -0700 From: That Little Voice Inside Your Head Subject: A Real Spooky One For You!
