And remember, this is not to replace the acts of kindness performed every day by EDAs, just to add to them, and to help make Jewel's cherished birthday wish a reality. It's something we will all be proud of -- and something to remind others, off-line, of the goodness in this world. It's been mentioned we need to focus and that is very important. Mr. BB has his plate full, so while he's involved with the EDAF and happy to hear from all of us about it, he's not the contact person (righto, Steph!). Crunch is the person to contact -- send your ideas and your offers of help to him at nestle@ptd.net Crunch is reportedly away in another galaxy at present, involved in some sort of world domination scheme, but as soon as he's back, you can be sure the EDAF will keep rolling. Anyone that wants to send me, Adrian, your ideas and offers of help can do that too (several people have already done that). I'm at howenow@imagen.net I'll collect your posts and save them for Crunch. And any posts to this list are valuable to share ideas with other EDAs on the goals and aspirations of the Foundation. Just think -- the EDAF legal work is being handled by a kookybaka lawyer who's busy at the moment preparing apple sauce for Mandy's wedding ceremony, and the EDAF point man is currently off on an intergalactic mission of world domination. Join the team! With these sort of talents, how can we do anything but help save the day! Maybe it's seize the day -- that's it, Carpe Diem EDAs!!! Hi guys... I've noticed a whole slew of mail on the list recently about the EDAF. It's great that people are giving it thought and trying to decide what they want to do with it. I just weanted to clear up a little bit of confusion- a lot of the letters mention wanting to help make the EDAF, or make sure it doesn't get forgotten about, etc. Not to worry, guys. Right now one of the main goals of the EDAF is getting legal papers and stuff for being a charitable organization/non profit thingy ( y'all know what I mean ). Lovable Lawyer Larry is working on it as you read this. So nobody worry; it's not going away :) Yay ! There have also been a lot of discussions everywhere about what we each would like EDAF to be. At this point the EDAF has been discussing the same thing. It's getting very interesting; all that anyone knows so far is we want to help others and/or give recognition to those that help others. At this point, I don't see any ways that we could go wrong ! I also noticed a few posts saying basically that the EDA's didn't "need" the EDAF... that the EDA's handled the JPK fundraiser wonderfully on our own and can continute doing the same thing. However... I hope everyone realizes that if it weren't for the EDAF, we most likely wouldn't have done that at all. It was a EDAF run project. Imagine 1,100+ individual people trying to run something like that... I just don't believe it's possibe :). So, guys, keep those great ideas rolling in ! Tell the EDAF about what you'd like to see them do, or if there are any specific causes you see that need attention... The EDAF discusses every possibility. The EDAF obviously doesn't work without EDAs ! :) Love, Rachel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Jun 1997 11:39:14 -0400 (EDT) From: ABershaw@aol.com Subject: MrBB- TIME Magazine!

(Of course, I was reading a Spy mag lately, since that's my line of work, and they told how "Spy" in some Scandinavian tongue means "vomit" and they had a list of other words that mean things in other languages that are similarly unfavourable contrasts with their English translation...) The question is important, though -- since we know that kookybaka has to do with the refinement of the soul through time, and, more exactly, refers to the refinement of a lawyer's soul through time it may be best asking EDA legal counsel for their answer, in the meantime I went searching for the origin of the word kookybaka in (where else!) my record collection. As far as I can tell, the roots of the word kookybaka can be traced through a song found, appropriately enough, on "A Tapestry of Dreams", one of the Barclay Records albums of a French/Armenian chanteur with a gypsy soul, Charles Aznavour. The song is called La Barraka. La Barraka is that special magic of life that some cultures call kismet, or luck, or fate or destiny -- all of this and much more. (Steve Poltz would probably consider it has something to do with the juices of life sucked through a candy wrapper. We all find it where we can, if we are so inclined.) Here's how Aznavour explains la barraka in song: La barraka, it is the lucky thing that brings you to my door La barraka, is every happy thing the future has in store La barraka, is fortune smiling in a face that I adore La barraka, is destiny La barraka, is you and me Most people go through life without it Some people find it once or twice There is nothing you can do about it It can't be bought at any price (back to chorus) To follow the French/Amernian gypsy trail of barraka, the noun, one has to get out the globe and look back to a time when the land mass of Europe and Asia was joined to North America. These land forms joined hands at, yep, you know it, Alaska. While in the warmer climates of Europe, la barraka was sung about in great dancing circles, the early nomadic sorts, people of vision and hope, who migrated to Alaska were affectionately considered "kooky" by those who remained behind on the Continent to grow wines and think about starting a film festival on a beach in southern France. The loved ones trekking to Alaska were wished good fortune on their journeys and the term kooky barraka was coined to honour them and their special ways. The kooky barrakas who survived the journey had run out of cognac and calvados by they time they reached Homer, Alaska and when, asked by the natives, who they were and their purpose in life, they could only answer "kookybakas". By the time the gypsies' tongues had thawed and they could once again articulate the "r" sound in barraka, the warm and friendly Alaskans had already taken to celebrating them as kookybakas so they all decided to leave well enough alone. And this is how the original free-spirited pioneers of Alaska came to be known as kookybakas. No doubt, Jewel has heard a story similar to this passed along by generations of her homesteading Kilchers. I guess the question for EDAs today is do we consider returning the word to its orginal form as "kooky barraka" (though I agree, even at room temperature, the r is kinda awkward) or do we continue to cherish the word as it was first translated by the Alaskans -- as "kooky baka"? Do other EDAs, with knowledge of Japanese or not, feel the same way about it as Albert? (There is a rumour, yet to be checked out, that the Japanese people who saw the French/Armenian and other gypsies travelling past Kamchatka on their way to Alaska considered them stupid for giving up the chance to see Brigitte Bardot or hear Maurice Chevalier in person one day. They didn't realize that the trekkers were moving to what would become the future home of Jewel. Had the future been known in its fullness, which it can never be, the Japanese would have considered the frozen barrakas or bakas to be most wise. So it appears any negative connotations may simply be the result of this misunderstanding long ago. Too often the mistakes of history are not corrected and remain -- only to cause grief for future generations. My suggestion would be that the unkind terms in all languages be reclaimed and made positive.)

Yup, I remember it well. :) I don't believe your entitlement of the title was ever in question. ;) The word was just totally weird to me from my perspective, because of my own background. Of course I don't expect many other people have a background in Japanese before getting on the EDA list. :) I just read Adrian's explanation for the evolution of the word in its original form "Kooky Barraka" and I think I'm satisifed that over time the word itself was simplified to "kookybaka" because it's easier to say. I guess not knowing kept throwing me for a loop every time I read it. And of course when I read it in Rolling Stone, I looked at it and was like, "kookybaka? What a weird word. I'm sure there's not a kooky in Japanese, but there's definitely a baka" and of course it made no sense that way if you didn't already know what it meant.

It turns out that the very same question that Albert has raised was on the minds of some Alaskans, oh, well, back in the days before Time... It seems that there was great contentment among those who knew the origins of the term kookybaka -- which had flourished on Alaskan soil and taken on a further meaning as a refinement of the soul through time. But some people hearing the term for the first time, and having by this date seen And God Created Woman, thought that the Japanese might have something. To leave the homeland of la Bardot to the tundra of Homer, Alaska did seem kinda doltish. (You must remember Jerry Lewis had yet be discovered by the French.) And even though Maurice Chevalier's eyebrows (when he didn't clip them) turned up and resembled wind-shield wipers when he sang, there was still no inkling of the divine order of events that had first led the gypsies from Europe and Asia to America. To resolve this question, the people of Homer called upon a wise member of the Anaktuvik Eskimos. Her name was Lucy and she was the first loveable lawyer (after articling with Olduvai Gorge & Fossil). Lucy told the concerned kookybakas "If the boat is not Leakey, there is no need to repair it.

I was looking through my own archives of stuff I've kept from last year and found a very interesting post by Mark that may shed some light on this whole "cult" thing. Apparently, his agenda began around the time of Jewelstock, and, well....I guess I'll let the post speak for itself........... ************************************************* From: Crunch Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 01:39:13 -0400 Subject: Jewel Nomadic Commune OK After assessing my income, occupational satisfaction, time constraints, travel schedule, and mental stability, I have determined that there is no way that I will be able see all the Jewel shows that I want to see (NH, CT, TN, Australia, Europe). In order to solve this horrifying problem, I hereby make a motion to generate a Jewel Nomadic Commune. In this manner each of us will give up (sell) our Earthly possessions and collaborate the profits to support the purchase of buses (and boats) in which all of us can follow Jewel together as a group. We will all survive communally, eating pb&j, selling Harris pins and Sinjinbees, clothed in blue ribbons and Jewelstock t-shirts. The First Comittee for the Jewel Nomadic Commune will convene at the NH show. All earthly possessions should be liquidated at that time. Representatives from Greyhound and Winnebego will meet us to discuss the purchases of used motorcoaches and/or motorhomes. Please bring all your blue ribbon. Thank you. =) Crunch ************************************************* So you see, this goes much deeper than anyone previously imagined. He's not trying to seduce young women, HE'S TRYING TO SEDUCE US ALL!!!!!! In all seriousness, I love this post and find it hysterical. It sums up a lot of our post-Jewelstock desires from last summer. I would have been one of the first on that Winnebago for sure.......

For those of you who attended Rockfest, you saw Jewel play the electric guitar on three songs, looking quite comfortable as she did so. I personally thought that this was the best performance of hers that I have heard recently, because she began to break the typical folk mold. To borrow from that post, "Rockfest, IMO, could possibly be the best performance for a long while, since she pursued her goal of breaking the sweet singing-about-puppy love and heartache folk-girl image and went for a louder turning-rock woman who knows how to write a song like no other of this time. The beginning of this metamorphesis (sp?) started on Hard Rock Live I believe, sans the electric guitar of course. With songs like SIBTW that have far deeper meaning and with songs like Down or Love Me Just Leave Me Alone, she can draw millions more listeners around the world who not only like her folk style but also her new rock style as well." I didn't get any replies that time, so I'm reposting it...I'd really like to know what everyone thinks. Thanks =) Naveen ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Jun 1997 14:19:58 -0700 From: naveenrao@juno.com (Naveen Rao) Subject: Re: Time Magazine/The EDA Foundation There are two things I will address in this post, the first being Jewel's upcoming appearance in TIME Magazine. First, I'd like to say "GO JEWEL!!!". As a subscriber to TIME, I believe it has been quite a while since I have seen a musician on the cover. This is a great oppurtunity for Jewel, and at the risk of sounding pretentious, a great oppurtunity for us as well. In recent magazine articles, Jewel has mentioned the EDAs and our work. Until now, we have been portrayed as a Jewel fan club which performs charitable acts. Since Jewel will be on the cover, there will surely be a lengthy article about her. She will likely mention the EDAs again, but this time, it would be nice if instead of just EDAs, she could mention the EDA Foundation (Alan, could you suggest this to Lenedra perhaps?). With a mention in a worldwide publication, the EDA Foundation can gain impetus and with a sentence such as "For more information, contact Alan Bershaw via e-mail at ABershaw@aol.com.", we can gain much more help that we could certainly use. Now, to my next point. Here's how I feel about the acting as a Foundation rather than as just EDAs. I'm sure we can all agree that the more people that help, the more effective a project can be ( That is, in terms of a blood drive, donation, or even cleaning the sidewalk ). I'm also sure that we do not want to limit joining the EDA Foundation to only fans of Jewel. While the idea was inspired by Jewel, I'm sure it would not be pragmatic to allow only EDAs to be part of the organization. Granted, some will want to act as part of an organized group and others will simply enjoy performing spontaneous acts of kindness, but I think that the EDA Foundation can serve as the initiative and act as a "happy median" of sorts between the two. Let's look at what the "organized system" entails. We will, like most other organizations, need a President and Vice-President, a Treasurer, a Secretary, Public Relations Chairperson, and various other positions of responsibility. The first and most obvious choices that come to mind are the originators of the idea - Alan (MrBB), Larry, and Crunch (I'm sorry, I don't remember who else was involved), along with other list veterans. I know this sounds very intimidating, but these positions will be handled in a very casual manner. The main reason for this other than for sheer organization is for new members who need to know that there is actually something to the EDA Foundation other than a random acts of kindness group. Undoubtedly, the EDA Foundation is much more than random, and borrowing from my last post, our actions will be calculated and thought out like the JPK Trust Fund and the Blood Drive. I am convinced that having this type of organized system will render the EDA Foundation much more effective. As I mentioned, we can use all the help we can get. If and when we are recognized by the community, we will certainly be receiving new members wanting to help. They need someone to teach them what the EDA Foundation is all about and show them what they can do. Instead of one person at a time helping the community, it is much easier for everyone to act as a group. This is the basic premise behind organized blood drives. While it is true that many people give blood without being asked, many more people give blood when a group has organized a blood drive and asks for their help. As Rachel said about the JPK Trust Fund Project, "It was a EDAF run project. Imagine 1,100+ individual people trying to run something like that... I just don't believe it's possible :)." Clearly, an organized system is necessary to render our projects effective. Nathan wrote, "I mean, if every EDA helped out a kid that had fallen off his bike on the side of the road wouldn't that be impressive? As a formal organization, the EDAF could alienate itself a bit from the mainstream. " The EDAF I think is more than simply helping a kid who fell of a bike or helping someone with a flat tire. The EDAF is about organized projects that require help and collaboration such as the JPK Trust Fund Project. So anyway, I'll end my rambling here, and thank you to those who have read this far. Also, thank you to Adrian who started this thread once again. I had forgotten about it for a while but now I'm really into this idea. =) Please post your replies...this is a very important thread and I think everyone should be involved in it. =) Naveen naveenrao@juno.com ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #501 ***************************
