She really sort of sticks out like a sore thumb, along with Fiona Apple and Martha Stewart, because they are very different people from the crowd that was there. The whole event was sensationalized and hyped up, because that's what the awards are all about. I agree that the show was very hip-hop dominated, but I think hip-hop itself is the most diluted genre of pop music. The biggest reason is because of a lot of the hip-hop songs are using chorus lines from old songs. Here a list of hip-hop remakes off the top of my head: "Men in Black", "Killing me Softly", "I'm Trying to Stay Alive" (I think that's the title), "Don't it Always Seem to Go", "I'll Be Missing You", "Supa Dupa Fly", and that's all I can think of now. Hey, is anyone else upset that Janet Jackson is using Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" for her latest single? Any ways, Jewel seemed very uncomfortable at the show and that discomfort was made clear when those people were hollering during her entire acceptance speech. Thanks.

"I just want you to know, if you tell Eddie Vedder or Michael Stipe or The Wallflowers or Jewel That I was in a sorority, I'll personally kick your butt," said Sheryl Crow while performing a benefit gig at The Beaumont Club on Aug. 25th. But if it weren't for her association with the Kappa Alpha Theta, when she was a student at MU [University of Missouri] in Columbia (class of 1984), this happening wouldn't have taken place." waiting for Sheryl Crow to come kick my butt, DuFF ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Sep 1997 11:01:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Joelies@aol.com Subject: Davis Baerwald (Was: Re: List Policy: do NOT *slam* other artists) You gotta feel for this guy. I mean, he wrote (or co-wrote) many of Sheryl Crow's biggest hits. People LOVE *his* songs. But no one knows the person behind them and I feel that he's being treated pretty rudely - at least he was at the Jones Beach show. Granted, I wasn't into his set - but I feel for him. And Mike is right - there is a line between detailing your dislike for an artist's music but to really attack him - and on a pwersonal level - is a little out-of-bounds. (VERY un-angel-like.)

During both of David's set he started playing Sheryl Crowe songs, stopped after a few lines and said soemthing to the affect of "I know you're probably wondering why I'm covering Sheryl Crowe songs but it's actually the other way around." It seemed like he was kinda bragging and trying to impress the audience. Maybe if he haden't done it both nights or if he had played the entire songs, it would have been different, but he just seemed arrogant to me. Did anybody else get this impression?

Most of you know me by the name of "Crunch". Alan was recently given an idea by Jewel. I volunteeed to research it and present it to the list. This is an idea for some- thing to do for Jewel for her birthday, not because we "deify" her, but it is something that she cares about, and we care about her. If this project does not sound right for you, there have been many other options made available on the list. Please maximize your window! ================================================== For those of you that have been following Alan(MrBB) and Mike's posts recently, they have been saying something VERY big was in the works for Jewel's birthday. Well, folks, THIS IS IT. There have been SO MANY good posts recently about birthday gifts for Jewel. We are a very creative, caring, and thoughtful community of angels. So thoughtful and creative, in fact, that we came up with many more possibilities than we could possibly put into action right now. So, after the outpouring of ideas from the list, it seemed the hardest part was finding something simple and angelic. This in mind, Alan explained our wishes to Jewel's mother, Lenedra. After telling her about the many wonderful suggestions from the EDA's, Alan asked for her advice. Much to our surprise, Lenedra had an immediate recommendation! It may accomplish in one opportunity all of the things we hope for Jewel on her birthday. Jewel was recently given a letter at one of the San Diego shows that was a little different than most. It captured her attention. This is the letter: ********************************************************** April 4, 1997 Dear Jewel, When you went to collect your award at the American Music Awards show, you made a point of telling people, "never give up hope...it's what got me where I am today.". Meet James Kalanick. A 20 year old without much hope these days. You see, last fall James was returning to his car after running out of gas on the freeway near PB when he was struck from behind by a hit and run driver. The accident leaves James in a quadriplegic state, requiring motorized wheel chair and full time care taker. He will need both for the rest of his life. The driver never slowed or stopped and was never identified. The family had no insurance and live on a limited income. State programs have helped the family on most of the medical bills... Which brings us back to hope. Being confined to a wheel chair for the rest of your life can drastically alter one's dreams. James worked for Baltimore Bagel Co. in La Jolla prior to the accident. Admittedly, he was carefree and hadn't figured out what he wanted to do for a living. Now, however, his dream is to gain a sense of control and independence in his life and return to a job. As his former employer, we're trying to help. James needs a van equipped with a special hydraulic lift for transportration. The total cost is around $40,000. Baltimore Bagel (changing it's name to Einstein Bros Bagels) is having a couple of benefits to raise the necessary money for this vehicle. Would you consider helping us out? .....Matt Sullivan -- Einstein Bros Bagels, San Diego,CA.>> ************************************************************** Many of the ideas that were discussed concerning gifts for Jewel did not involve money. Many, if not most of us, can not afford much in the way of a sizeable donation. Individually, our contribu- tions may seem insignificant. However, small donations from each of us will grow into a combined "EDA Gift" that will make an unmistakable difference. Some intial phone calls have been made to see how easy it would be to put this plan into action. This is what we know: 1) There are other San Diego area benefits going on for James and we can be a small part of accomplishing this very "tangible goal". 2) There are no administration people making money. No money is being spent on advertising, etc. Every single dollar will go towards the equipment James needs. 3) Donations can be sent directly to the James Paul Kalanick Trust already set up specifically for James' equipment. 4) Jewel suggested it. The support of the EDA community toward the JPK Trust need not stop individual EDAs from following through on other great ideas they may have an interest in. The JPK Trust is one very worthy goal that we can all contribute to together. Donations, both large and small, all contribute to the same goal so it doesn't matter what financial situation you are presently in. We need not, and can not, try to raise $40K. Any donation (even one single dollar) is one step closer to the goal. There is alot of people on this list, just imagine if each person donated $5. Jewel's birthday is in just over a month. Jewel has received many gifts throughout her most recent tour and often she responds to them in the same way. She asks that we give to others the hope and inspiration that we once gave her. This is a chance for us to "manifest" that wish. So, how do we do this? How do we donate a few dollars to the James Paul Kalanick Trust for a collective EDA Gift to Jewel on her birthday? After just a few phone calls, it became apparent how simple this would be for us to do as EDAs. Matt Sullivan, James Kalanick's former employer and head of the JPK Trust, is an extremely helpful man. He truly appreciates Jewel's talents and is amazed that she read the letter, let alone get a call from her fans. He had all sorts of questions about who the EDAs are and what it is we are all about. After discussing Jewel and EDAs, Matt described exactly how easy it is to give whatever is available. Each of us can send a check, however large or small, directly to the bank that is holding the James Paul Kalanick Trust (Wells Fargo Bank). Step by step, here it is: Address a check to: James Paul Kalanick Trust In the memo postion of the check write the account number like this: Acct# 6671946366 Post the check in an envelope addressed to: James Paul Kalanick Trust Wells Fargo Bank 1302 Garnet Ave San Diego, CA, 92109 To keep an up to date record of what we have given, an E-mail account has been set up. After each of us has given our small part for James Kalanick, send an e-mail to . Let us know what you gave, the date it was sent off, and the check number. This info will be used to parallel the bank's records and to give the list updates about our efforts. In this way, we can each donate a small amount ($1, $5, $20, or more) to a cause which has captured Jewel's personal attention. Lenedra recommended this as something we could do for Jewel on her birthday. Another EDA offered the idea of sending Jewel a birthday card letting her know what we are doing. She will recieve the card on her birthday while on tour in Europe, reminding her that there are EDAs doing things for her while she is out on the road! This card is in progress, as is a web page (the address to be posted soon!) ************************************************************ * The URL of the Web Page is: * * http://www.endor.org/jpk * * * * Through this, and especially through the * * JPK Raffle, over $5000 were raised for James * * in just a short time. The card was give to * * Jewel, with other gifts, for her birthday. * * * * Again, PLEASE NOTE that this project is * * complete, although it may be revieved and * * continued. PLEASE wait for more details * * from Mandy (FabSurfGal) coming soon !!! * ************************************************************ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Sep 1997 13:39:30 -0400 (EDT) From: Albert Sze-Wei Wang Subject: [NJC: Angel Needs Help] Calling all Boston Area EDAs As some of you may know a well known EDA poet from this list, Stephanie Kartalopolous recently moved to Boston. A growing crisis is presently developing in which the people who had promised her a place to live have changed their mind and are kicking her out in favor of another friend of their's. This action that they are taking is not only unethical and possibly illegal, but they are going ahead with it anyways with neither concern for her safety, well-being, or care for whether or not she finds another home in time. Stephanie is being kicked out tomorrow, Sunday September 7th, and will be homeless at that time. She desperately needs a place to stay for a few days to a week to find a new apartment to live. I have already considered my place, but because of my present living conditions, my place is regretfully not a possibility. I beseech any Boston area EDA who receives this message to please consider opening their home and their hearts to a fellow EDA in this time of great need. If you have a place in or around Boston you may be able to open to her until she finds a new place, please contact me here at bahamude@user1.channel1.com ASAP. Stephanie currently has no access to email and so if you can help in this crisis, please send private email to me in response to this letter. I will provide you with the present phone number Stephanie can be reached. Any help anyone who receives this letter can provide will most definitely be appreciated at this very stressful and difficult time.

CRUNCH!!!!! Speaking as a Spice Girl fan, that just came out too (last weekend) I welcome you to Spice Girldom... but seriously, you'd people be surprised on how good their album actually is, of course, that's my opinion. I'm not encouraging everyone to go out and buy the album, but to be a little less critical to music other people listen to, because the last thing we need is a Spice Girls vs. Jewel flame war! :) Another good thing, that Crunch forgot to mention is the Spice Girls stress is "Girl Power"... which something, even our beloved Jewel has, and will be seeing more of, with such artists as Paula Cole, Sarah McLachlan, Tara MacLean, Holly McNarland, Sarah Slean, Patty Griffin, Chantel Kreviazuk..and among many many more... I just like felt like stressing the plethera of female artists this world has to offer :) Ok, I "think" I'm done... :) "Uh oh, she's starting to post more!!!"
