I enjoyed that version. I personally prefer the piano and the violin and I knew that they were rerecording it for the single and if that is it then I am happy. Looks like they kept it as close to the original as they could and added a little bit more beat to it for the radio appeal. I think it will go over will with the public.

The last couple late night shows she has been on always seemed to throw her on for the last five minutes or so. I guess we can all thank Dave for allowing Jewel to speak, instead of trying to sell Bad Ass Hams or talking all night about Canada with Paul. (Not that there is anything wrong with Canada, its a find country and I live less than a half an hour from windsor) The best part of the whole show was to see that enlightening smile that she has. She also seemed quite happy and was very witty when she was yapping with Dave. Well, thats all the stuff i felt like saying. Oh ya, GO RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, here is my take on the Jewel performance on the Letterman Show. I honestly think I've seen here sing Foolish Games much better on VH-1 (CrossRoads CD). Don't get me wrong, Jewel is probably one of the most influential people in my life but she seems to be declining. Maybe she's tired, after-all, she did just get back from her European Tour. But a few comments now, I thought that she wined (is that spelled right) a bit and what was that whole pulling on her dress thing. I don't know, as I stated above, I adore Jewel but her performing image is not what it used to be. A thought, What ever happend that little girl from Alaska...?

I asked for some Angel Advice and boy did I get it. It will take me some time to answer it all but every word has been read. The majority of the advice was to give a deadline for the checks that haven't arrived inorder to qualify for a prize. Others suggested that I write each person and remind them. Many told me to trust my instinct that everyone that pledged did so with good intent and will do as they promised if they are reminded. So here is what I'm doing. It is not fair to have everyone wait any longer. But I still want to give the few holdouts a little more time. My next post will have the first winner of the first prize. Only the winning number will be announced. Even though I know who the winner is because I have a cross reference to the confirmation numbers on each ticket, lets make it more fun. If the winning number is yours, send me an email with your confirmation number. I will double check and make sure no mistake has been made and I will then announce who the winner was. Three more checks came in today. Only 12 more to go. Let the games begin!

That's because all the venues were small and only held that many people. They intentionally booked smaller venues from 100 to 400 seats. (per an Email from Jewel's mother/manager Lenedra that MrBB relayed to the list a while back) This was likely done as she's a relative unknown throughout Europe. (I would think most artists would rather have a full house of 200 to 400 than that many in a 2000 seat venue) All of the reports/reviews we got from list members at the shows indicated the places were packed actually.

Sadly, Jeff is really gone. I can't even express how this makes me feel. I will miss him very much. Heather << Buckley Presumed Dead Folk-rock singer Jeff Buckley was presumed dead Monday, four days after disappearing while swimming near the Mississippi River near Memphis. The 30-year-old Buckley had drawn a great deal of critical praise during his short career and had been in Memphis to record an album. Buckley's music, launched on the New York club scene in 1991, was described as a fusion of underground, rock, folk and jazz, with such influences as Bob Dylan and Van Morrison. Buckley was the son of '60s folk singer Tim Buckley. They met only once, two months before Tim Buckley died of drug overdose in 1975. >> ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Jun 1997 08:41:30 -0500 (EST) From: SM_KARTALOPO@ACAD.FANDM.EDU Subject: NJC My precious angels, I love you all so much that you have become the only family I truly know. And I have something that I would like to share with you. If you do not wish to read this, feel free to delete. It's ok. THis is not one of my poems or anything like that; it is one of my journal entries from last night. I really feel the need to share this with you, so here goes... 6.2.97 Sometimes I wish I were so beautiful that I'd blind people. Like people would see me and right away they'd know. They'd know my soul-cradle it in their blood, hide it behind their eyes, speak to it in their lungs, embrace it in their veins. And they'd be so overcome that they'd have to look away. I'd see the blood rush to their faces, and the look in their eyes would show how ashamed they all are of themselves for never before beholding such beauty. And sometimes I wish I were a star in the night sky. I'd love to be some tiny star by Orion, something not all that noticeable but part of this particular constellation-the protector of the sky, the protector of the souls of Isis & Osirus, the protector of nature, the protector of everyone. So often have I found comfort in the stars. I remember growing up, many times I'd cry myself to sleep or think about the inadequacy of my soul (as so often & so thoroughly I was told by my parents) and then I'd look out my window at the moon and the stars. I didn't consciously do this-it's like the light of the moon was drawing me in, as if nature was trying to draw in a missing part of itself. When I'd stare out the window I'd imagine that my soul, weeping soul-blood tears, would be unlocked from its prison of my hellish flesh and it would fly, weaving itself in and out of the stars, an etherial string holding the sky together-holding nature together-holding everything that's good & real & true & beautiful together just so I could be held together-so my soul could stay held together. Finding comfort in the night sky and in the time of beautiful dreams, a redeeming moon, and the sisterly stars is probably the best thing I've ever done and could ever do for myself. ...and the rest of my entry is just me blabbing about some of the stuff going on right now. But I wanted to share that with you. I hope you don't mind. I know that I probably have LITTLE right to ask you for anything more, as you have all been such miracles in my life, and I'm sorry, really sorry, but I need you all so much right now. I am at the beginning of what I know will be a VERY tough time for me, and lately I have been really down (for those of you who have met me, imagine a Stephanie who is not smiling, who is not talking, and who is not laughing and who does not feel all too ticklish). Can you all please pray for me? That is, if y'all pray. I know that I am going to need lots of miracles and my angels to be right there with me helping me pull through the troubles that lie at my feet right now. I'm sorry, again, for asking you for even more than I have already asked y'all for... and i thank you madly and i love you madly you are all so beautiful and someday, some day, I hope that my soul can be even a fraction as beautiful as all of your souls are... love stephanie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 07:40:10 -0500 (CDT) From: Emilia Garvey Subject: JC:No clue about singles Hiya, I have a couple questions about singles..

An extensive search of the area began at 10 that night and has continued, with Memphis authorities utilizing boats, horse and foot patrols, helicopters and scuba divers in an attempt to locate Jeff. While Jeff is still officially listed as missing, his family, close friends and advisors believe that he has drowned. He was 30 years old. Jeff's disappearance appears to be the result of swimming in a dangerous section of water that joins Memphis with the Mississippi River. Jeff and a friend, Keith Foti, were on their way to a local rehearsal studio where Jeff and his band were preparing to record a new album. After getting something to eat at a Memphis restaurant, Jeff and Keith stopped at the marina, where he had gone swimming on previous occasions. In a playful mood, Jeff entered the water fully clothed while laughing and singing, wading and swimming for approximately 15 minutes. Keith remained on the shore and in visual and vocal contact with Jeff. When passing boats created waves, Keith momentarily turned away from Jeff to adjust the location of their portable radio/cassette player to prevent it from getting wet. At this point, Keith lost contact with Jeff and called out for him for 10 minutes before calling the police. Memphis authorities believe that an undertow caused by the passing boats swept Jeff away from his original location and, ultimately, underwater. Memphis authorities have stated that there was no evidence of drugs or alcohol playing any part in this tragedy. Jeff's mother, Mary Guibert, and his managers, Dave Lory and George Stein, are urging everyone not to speculate beyond the facts of this incident or believe any rumors that might circulate. Additional information will be released as it becomes available. According to Mary Guibert, "It has become apparent to me that my son will not be walking out of the river. It is now time to make plans to celebrate a life that was golden. I ask people who cared about Jeff to please be honorable and faithful to his memory, to send their best wishes to Jeff and to all of us who are mourning his passing." A memorial service is being planned, and appropriate details will be released in the next few weeks.

I'd like to make some comments on the above quote, and if you don't want to read them, then delete this message. These comments are not made meanly, but rather, in love. I think it would be a curse to be so beautiful that I'd blind people. I'd never know if someone liked me because of who I was or because how I looked. People would kiss up to me just because I was beautiful and nothing more. I would become a "pretty little thing," no longer a person. Like the song Pieces of You illustrates, many people hate pretty girls, they talk about them behind their backs, for no reason beyond the fact that they are pretty. I'd hate to be so beautiful that I'd blind people, because I feel they'd never try to look past that. Beauty is the first thing people see, and people make judgements based upon it. I don't think I'm ugly. I used to, but that was when I had lots of self-esteem problems. I'm not saying I'm the queen of self-esteem now, but I love myself more than I once did. And while I know that I'm not so physically beautiful that I blind people, I know that my soul has a beauty like no other. For all of our souls have unspeakable beauty, if we just let them shine through. That is where true beauty comes from. Having beauty on the inside is so much better than having beauty on the outside, because it gives me more confidence. I know that I am more than just a pretty face. And I know that when I get old and wrinkled, I will still be beautiful. So don't wish to be so beautiful you'd blind people. And don't wish to have a beautiful soul like everyone else's. If you must wish about beauty, wish that you could recognize the beauty already inherent in your own soul. Wish that you could love yourself. Bless and Be Blessed; spread the Love!

First, I think it's great Dave let her talk a little bit this time...I mean, it's "only" her *4th* time on his show in about 2 years! I had a feeling he would give her interview time when he cut the 2nd interview short (with the guy from Jurassic Park). Jewel started singing at 11:20 CST, about 10 minutes earlier than usual for musical performers on Dave. That was the clue. About some things she said...I thought she was 20 when she made POY. I know she *wrote* some of the songs earlier than that, but she said she was 19 when the CD came out...I don't think that's true. Maybe what she was thinking and saying were 2 different things. If it came out in 2/95, that would make her 20. No big deal, just wondering if all "our" info from this list is wrong, or if Jewel made a mistake. The other thing was about her album sales. Dave said it's reached 4 million! I thought it was just 3 million a week or two ago? Either she's sold a BUNCH of CD's in the past week or that was a false quote as well. Could anyone help clarify these questions? She had a great performance...lots of emotion, and seemed sincere when she was singing. No mistakes either as on SNL. Liked her hair too, something was different, but it looked nice.

Precious Jewel - Why do fans think Jewel (aka Jewel Kilcher) rises above Sheryl Crow, Gwen Stefani, and other vocalizing peers? Just look to their scores of poems, e-mail postings, and other adoring creations on Jewel sites throughout the web. Her debut album Pieces Of You (with it's hit single 'Who Will Save Your Soul'), won this 23 year old Alaskan an American Music Award. Her music may not save your soul but it may move you to log on and join her loyal fans. Where to see - and hear - more about Jewel: It then goes on to list URL's for Pieces Of Jewel, Tribute To Jewel, Who Will Save Your Soul, and Tapaz's Jewel Kilcher Shrine/FAQ. Just take five minutes out of your day and rub somebody the right way. =) The Rugburns http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Marina/8229/edas.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 12:54:40 -0400 (EDT) From: Angelsndby@aol.com Subject: Pictures on the yearbook Hiya everyone.

I remember when I bought the CD last year knowing that it had been out for 4 years before that, so since she just turned 23, that would make her 19 when it was first released. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 12:43:38 -0400 (EDT) From: Heather R Keenan Subject: Letterman Did it seem to anyone else that Jewel appeared a little fidgety.... do you think its because she didnt have her guitar with her...i cant imagine she sings much without it...its a nice transitition for her...that "jazzy-folk music" is any eda's going to lilith at starlake in PA on aug. 12? xoxo Heather xoxo =========================================================================== "I want to not think of anything sometimes" Natalie Merchant "In silence, you hear who you are becoming and create yourself" Jewel Kilcher =========================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 13:23:29 -0400 (EDT) From: CONNELL@taurus.cs.lmco.com Subject: Re: The "Dave" performance Angelsndby wrote: > Yea, it is true about it being released when she was 19.

It was released in February of 1995, not 4 years ago. It was recorded in July/August of 1994. Since she was born in May of 1974, that means she was 20 when she recorded it and 20 when it was released. All of these dates can be verified on Adam's Pieces of Jewel page in the chronology section.

Here's something remarkable I just noticed looking back on her career...... From 2/95-5/96 *15 months*, she sold only 500,000 copies From 5/96-8/96 another 500,000 in only 3 months From 9/96-12/96 another MILLION in only 4 months From 1/97-5/97 another *2* MILLION in just the next 5 months At this rate, she will have sold over 8 millions copies total in another 6 months.

I was impressed though. The song came off well and was very similar to the VH1 Crossroads performance that went on that VH1 CD. She skipped the same verse and everything. Vocals were powerful on both occasions. Sh did not seem tired or weary to me or all that affected by Europe although she could prob'ly use some time off for a while. This summer should be relatively light for her thoguh since for most of it she is not headlining. But anyway, back to Dave. She looked SO much better than on SNL, her face looked happier and wasnt caked in make-up. She still looks awkward without a guitar in hand and her hands get a little restless, but I think that's really cute, the flailing arms and pulling at her shirt like that. She looks like she may be putting on a little weight, her chest looked way jacked, but she was wearing a tight shirt. But again, the performance was top notch I thought. Much better than that cheesy band with the sax that she butchered WWSYS on SNL with. And I'm glad Foolish Games has not been significantly changed or made more "pop" as it is about to be released as a single. Also, she got an interview for the first time on Dave. The crowd oohed and ahhed and made all sorts of sexual innuendoes, but they do that to Dave all the time because he's such a sought after yet old bachelor. She handled her self well and just kind of hung out, didn't get all deep and philosophical on him, just kinda played around. OK, she mentioned Pablue Neruda briefly but otherwise didn't come off as her usual mystical, philosophical, adorably unique self. But she was honest and forthright and he didn't ask her to yodel. But don't jump all over the guy who didn't like the performance. CRITICISM IS GOOD. People who just thing that whatever Jewel does, as long as it is Jewel who is doing it, is the greatest thing in the world, are ignornat. You need to have a sense of standards and quality in this world. The reason Jewel's music is so good is because, well, it's just damn good, it's a quality issue. But some of Jewel's music and performances are better than others. Art, music, literature, whatever, needs to be criticized or else artists will have no grasp on what the public reaction is to their work, their hard work. Remember, don't judge the person though, judge the work. But even when you relate it to Jewel the person, do you think she doesn't think some of her efforts are better or superior to others? Do you think she is equally satisfied by her SNL debauchle as she was with her wonderfully quaint and honest solo performance on VH1 Hard Rock live? Do you think she thinks she did as good a concert at the hour long Beacon Theater show where she was disrespected by the crowd and admitted she couldnt do her songs that well or at say Jewelstock. There is nothing wrong with criticism, if anything it makes for better art. Now there is a line between constructive criticism(which I believe is what I offer from time to time although it angers some people on this list) and just plain belittling and disrespecting someone's art and work. Know the line, don't cross it. I dunno, that's all I have to say right now. Later, Sean Hooks ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #409 ***************************
