Matt "Anxious Angel" Spangler ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 01:20:54 -0400 (EDT) From: SDAngelLI@aol.com Subject: NJC: No Goodbyes When I was a seven year old boy in Long Island, I had a really close friend. Her name was Tracey. Tracey was a little older then I was, about eleven. But we spend a lot of time together on the beach and around the neighborhood. I never really noticed anything wrong with Tracey, I rather liked her. She was a nice girl, sensitive, kind to animals, etc. She had the basic qualities. But people used to talk behind her back. They said she was a difficult child, crazy, violent tempered, etc. It was considered a mystery, how I was always able to bring out the best in her. I never really understood why people didn't like her. But what's really tragic, is that most people didn't understand why I did like her. I remember the day her mother wanted to send her to sleep away camp. I walked over to her house as I did from time to time to see her, and there was all sorts of chaos. Apparently this eleven year old girl punched a hole in the door, because she didn't want to go to camp. But I still didn't notice so much as a bad mood from her. Eventually her mother and father sold the beach house, and I never saw Tracey again. But from what I heard; she just kept getting worse and worse. As she got older it became harder and harder for her to confront reality. Last week I received news that Tracey committed suicide at approximately 25 years of age. So I just wanted to ask all the EDAs, and yes you too Jewel, to take the time to appreciate a friend and smile for stranger.

In regard to your "disappointed" view on Jewel's rising popularity, considering that Jewel is the last person who wants to be iconized(sp?). During the Unplugged she asked the audience if they are sick of hearing POY. She certainly try really hard to play her other songs but she still has to play her popular songs because she has obligation to her record company and MTV which has devoted much energy to promote her music. Do not blame Jewel for overplaying and overexposure; it's beyond her control. But Jewel is still true to her music and will always play it the way she wants to be played and not succumb to the demand of other people. You, as Jewel's fan, should understand this and keep supporting her, not staying away because you think she's gotten too big. Even though all this fame is hard to get used to, remember that Jewel will always be Jewel and nothing in the world will change her except herself. I hope you will continue to show your love and support of Jewel and buy her record. There is much more I'd like to say regarding this matter because I feel strongly about Jewel and her rapidly rise to stardom. Like Jewel said in Interview magazine, "I know the fame might come and go, the money can come and go. But I'm really interested in keeping my life worth living, keep it aligned to a certain kind of integrity with which I can face each day." So no matter what happen, even if she were to become internationally famous and make millions, we can trust that Jewel will still make music that are beautiful and sincere. Let's not diss her just because she got famous, instead we should be happy because she deserves it, having to endure period of extreme poverty. I know I will always stand by her and support her.

(Please note I am speaking solely as a potential groom and NOT as an official Starry Night organizer or representative!) The decision to hold multiple wedding ceremonies and establish Man-D's EDA Harem (TM) has meant only minor alterations to the festivities -- please make the necessary changes in your programs. Mandy will still be getting married on the beach. How many times is up in the air. Mandy and Mandy will still be bridesmaids. Ditto. Igor will still be giving Mandy away. But she will be fitted with bungee cords as well as roller skates to assist in the repeating of this step. There will still be a long line-up for surfing lessons. Larry the loveable lawyer has cornered the market in apple-sauce for the inductions. There will no longer be any need to fend off forest rangers -- they will now be among the grooms. John-Eric will still be living with Mandy the bride, the bride, the bride... The Klaatunians or Kryptonians (whichever is not busy that night watching Third Rock from the Sun) will invade Starry Night unless they recognize it's being held on a U.S. air force base. And, whichever, they will be without Super Gianny who has a new mission saving our favourite Alaskan yodeller from a "vast, huge, hulking monster" of celebrity. Chaplain Dan will still perform the services while these worlds collide and the Jewel of the North star twinkles on knowingly. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Jul 1997 01:17:21 -0500 From: Amy Barker Subject: Re: scrolling julie wrote: > > Just wondering.

In other words, a bunch of EDAs want to hang out in Woodstock, NY on July 19th and 20th, (next month!)! =) Although there was behind the scenes talk about having a few non-Jewel artists play for us, those plans have not worked out. However, that's never stopped us before, has it? This is to be a true EDA gathering for the sake of EDAs. And a fallback for those northeasterners unable to make it to Starry Night in SanDiego the week before. =) There is no real plan at this point except for a definite goal for a bunch of EDAs to meet and hangout in the little love community of Woodstock. We'll probably swing over to Bears- ville at some point to check out the Bearsville theatre and trade stories of Jewelstock. Aside from that, it'll just be pure EDA Lovin' !! =) What I need right now is RSVP from everyone interested in joining other EDAs in Bearsville on July 19th/20th! Please RSVP to : BRSVL97@aol.com This is an address set up to coordinate this event. Next week, after I get responses, I will post info about lodging and camping! Who wants to go !!!??? =) Crunch! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Jul 97 23:45:41 GMT From: st_kuo@ix.netcom.com Subject: Jewel's popularity I've noticed that a lot of EDAs have enormous problem with Jewel playing to people from 300 to 3,000. Why is it a problem for Jewel to be famous and why don't you want more people to hear Jewel. I know, it's always better to hear Jewel in a small and intimate environment but don't you know that as more people become fans of Jewel the pubs and coffeehouse that Jewel used to play in are no longer viable? Come on EDA don't be selfish, instead we should feel happy that more and more people are getting the opportunity to hear the lovely songs of Jewel and watching her in concert is probably one of the best experience of a person's life. Maybe when Jewel is no longer famous and fans who only like her first album begin to thin out will Jewel go back to playing those small arenas and coffeehouse again. But for now I think EDAs should not take this as a bad thing but just one more thing we should be happy about cuz Jewel deserves bigger audience(and fame). I hope I won't get flame for this but I do feel happy for Jewel and I don't see playing in front of so many people is a bad thing.

It's 12am here in Nashville,TN and I'm having a hard time getting my mind to slow down so that I can get some sleep. So i figured I would do some posting to the list. But I'm not much for words, or expressing my thoughts, so please bare with me. For all of you other eda's out there that don't know me(most of you probably) I would like to say that I enjoy listening to Jewel's wonderfull voice late at night as I lay awake in bed. Imagening what it would be like to be able to share a part of me to those around me, like she does with such passion and beauty. I'm a pretty simple person. I don't really need alot of things in life to make me happy, sad, or loney. I have been called strange by some, sensitive by others, and I have even been called cruel. I think of myself as nothing more than a man. Sometimes I feel lost inside a wirlwind of pain and loneyness. Sometimes I just wish I could stand in the middle of downtown Nashville and scream my lung's out till someone took notice of me. I'm a 26 year old male, dirty blond hair, 5'10, 178 pounds, starting to get a little bit of a beer belly. My sisters have told me that I'm good looking, although that's what all sisters say, while my brother tell's me i'm getting fat(he say's it with such scorn). To all of you reading this message, I am nothing more then the letters stung out creating a few pictures in the mind. I'm wandering around so much I can even recall why I began this letter in the first place. Please forgive me. I feel so empty inside. So cold. I crave the touch of a ladies gentle hands. - - in darkness I dwell, lost within my soulless shell. I rage in vian against all hope, grasping for my sanity. yet I find only sadness, simple thoughts swirl, my internal pain two-fold. as I seek peace of mind, time goes by forever, I find nothing but loss. yet still I rage against all hope, as my sanity dies. and madness becomes mine, - - A Lost Jewel Fan, Brian Smith ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 03:01:55 -0400 From: bizmarquee@juno.com (Tony K Tran) Subject: NJC: Jagged Little Pill Live Whats up EDA's!

But it doesn't work. Her music doesn't fit an arena or stadium. It's too personal. Like I've said previously, most of the fans she's gained in '97 are top 40 listeners. They had no interest in her before her album went platinum. It's as if commercial success "validated" her to the world. And don't think that everyone loves her like EDAs love her. If an album sells in the millions, you can be dang sure that there are a few hundred thousand people who only listen to the singles. Sorry, but as an artist myself, I can't help but get a little angry when I hear of such closed-mindedness. When her album had gone gold, I don't think there were very many people at all who owned it for just one song! So I don't think anyone wishes that Jewel were less successful. I for one, wish her all the joy in the world living her creative existence. But I also wish that EVERY Jewel fan was loyal. I wish that EVERY Jewel fan gave a little of themselves to Jewel in exchange for such wonderful music. And I wish there wasn't any of this half-assed interest spawned by over-exposure.

Ok Angelz Here's One Hell Of A Nasty Story, I was talking to one of my old friends that came from out of town and we were just having a casual conversation and we got onto the subject of music, so naturally i said that i LOVE the following bands or solos, Jewel ( Duh!) No Doubt, Bush, U2, Depeche Mode,Alanis and so on. I ask her if she likes any of them and she says all of them except Jewel! I ask, WHY!?!? I mean why don't you like her at all?? Get this, she says; Oh, she is such an Alanis Wannabie!! I was about to explode! I mean Jewel is nothing like Alanis! Alanis is cool with her own style and music and so is Jewel, but their not alike in what they sing about.... Then we turn on the tube (TV) and coincidenty Jewel's YWMFM Video came on and she said, " She is so horny in this video i think i'm going to be sick if you don't change the channel!" I start standing up for myself and Jewel so I say; Do you even have any idea what she's singing about?? She started to talk back so did I and we eneded up fighting, not just because of Jewel but because when by BF ( boyfriend) walked into the room she said, Oh my GOD!! Your going out with that idiot! NOW that really got to me and i pulled her hair so hard there was still some in my hand! She started calling me a backstabbing B*tch and i called her something that I don't want to mention because i'll get kicked off the list! But anyway, I know it's her opinion but she made Jewel look so bad that I couldn't take it!

I got the Unplugged on tape again...this time I got the entire thing...plus I taped that Farm Aid show on TNN that had Jewel in it...She sang "Who Will Save Your Soul", and had a little blurb about the whole farm thing in the middle of the song.. If anyone wants a copy of the video or an audio tape of it, lemme know...I'd be happy to make you a copy! :) Roger smithr@agcs.com http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Union/5739 My own JEWEL, No Doubt, Alanis Morrissette, Fiona Apple Home Page! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Jul 97 11:48:05 PDT From: "Beth" Subject: Backing up stanley(Jewel's popularity) I just wanted to back up what Stanley said earlier about Jewel's growing popularity. Isn't this why Jewel quit her meaningless Jobs and lived in her van? Jewel has a wonderful opportunity to spread her message through her music to literally millions of people and I for one am very happy for her. I am also very happy for the thousands of people who would not have ever heard of Jewel had it not been for her rising fame. I am amazed that some people are just sitting around waiting for the fame to go away so that Jewel can return to the small coffee house concerts. Sorry, but I would NEVER have gotten the chance to see jewel if she wasn't playing the big shows. I saw her at Farm Aid, and she was great! During WWSYS she stopped and told everyone to look around. (Proceeds of the show benefit farms in financial difficulty). She delivered this great speech (I wish I had the whole thing memorized) about how wonderful it was that we were all there. She said that that was how we got things done, how we chnged the world. She finally has a meaningful job, a chance to touch the world in a big way, and I am so happy. If someone gave me the choice between letting Jewel continue to rise in her fame, or to take it all away so that I could see her in a small concert setting...no way would I be so selfish. I could never do that to Jewel, and I could never do that to all the people who love her. Another thing....there was also a post about people who are just discovering Jewel now that she is an MTV star. Someone said that these people cannot experience/appreciate (I'm sorry, I don't remember the exact words, please forgive me if I misquoted anyone) Jewel properly because they never heard her when she was an unknown. . How can anyone jugde the value or worth of someone elses's experiences? The uniqueness of humanity includes our thoughts, emotions and experiences, and none of us are the same in those aspects. We all have our own mind, heart and soul. That's the beauty of this world. To say that someone cannot appreciate Jewel just because they did not hear her very early work is like saying that someone cannot appreciate the beauty of this snowflake because they did not see the millions of snowflakes that came before it.

For whatever reason we all assemble ourselves here to orbit our sunshine to warm our souls and bring understanding to a lot of emotions that seem to overwhelm us. She won't always attract the attention she does presently but she still at the end will be Jewel (a lot wiser to the world's ways though). The true fans stick around, its almost a marriage in a way ( you know the lines for better for worse) she has to make her money now while the time is right in order to take care of herself, her mother, her family ( I know people can take care of themselves but still I know she wants nothing but the best for them and if she is able to provide it, she will). How many groups or artists from the eighties, seventies or any other era are still as popular now as they were then, very few (none I can think of at the moment, although U2 is still fairly big with the touring crowd) So what does all the jibber jabber mean, nothing except this: stick around awhile, Jewel needs us now, and she'll need us in the future. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 10:33:50 -0500 (CDT) From: dkaracos@marlin.utmb.edu (Derrick) Subject: njc - testing test ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 09:06:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Barnabus heckubus?
