Most of us will be spending the Thanksgiving holidays with our families, but Stephanie doesn't have the option of going home to her family nor does she have the money to fly from Boston to San Diego for thanksgiving with the EDAs. I'd like to suggest that we all donate $15 to fly Stephanie to San Diego for Thanksgiving with Tom and Nancy. After all, doing this like this is the reason why Jewel calls us "EDAs" SuPeRdEfOrMeD aNgEl ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Sep 97 01:46:42 PDT From: "Beth" Subject: Re: Question - ---------- > > > the other night and my mom said it was an old Elvis song...she even knew the > name of the song before i told her. But the other night i was watching Much > Music intimate and interactive and Jewel said she wrote it when she was > 16...can anyone clear this up for me? > No worries! I justed checked my Elvis greatest hits cd...he does have a song called "Don't", but it's not the same as Jewel's song. Elvis's song Don't was recorded on September 6, 1957, and debuted on January 27, 1958. It eventually reached #1 in the charts. The songs are slightly similar in that they both say "Don't," and they are talking about the same type of thing, they're both slow...but Elvis sort of stays in the same rhythm, where Jewel changes style and...well, you've heard the song, you know. The fact that there are some similarities make me believe that maybe Jewel was inspired by Elvis...here are the lyrics...you be the judge. "Don't" Recorded by Elvis Presley, September 6, 1957 "Don't, Don't, Don't,That's what you say, Each time that I hold you this way.When I feel like this And I want to kiss you baby,don't say no. Don't, Don't Don't,leave my embrace for here in my arms,is your place. When the night grows cold,and I want to hold you baby Don't Say Don't. If you think that this is just a game I play If you think that I, don't mean every word I'm saying Don't, Don't, Don't Don't, feel that way, I'm your love , and yours I will stay. This you can believe, I will never leave you, Heaven knows I won't Baby Don't say Don't" Hope this helps! <3 Beth ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Sep 1997 02:58:44 -0400 (EDT) From: Piper1013@aol.com Subject: SNL not Jewel on 9-27 I know everyone's been asking about Jewel appearing on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live next Saturday <9-27>...

It had everything, Drama, like when she found out she could only go on till 10 o clock! Difiance, Like went Jewel played till 10:30! Got it was awesome! I've never liked the bands she has had untill now! It was so kicken, and like the only people danceing were me and some dread lock guy, but that was okay, because for some reason! IF YOU SEE JEWEL IN SAN DIEGO IT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN IN ANY OTHER CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know, just a complete different vibe is going on in SD than in LA, it was really, really cool! As for the show, it was amazing, I guess just can do no wrong, I don't remember the setlist, but all I can say is that when she played "Down" I nearly messed myself it was so good! But, there was a low point, when Jewel was playing "Amen" some asshole jumped onto the stage put his arm around jewel and just looked at the crowed like "Check Me Out, I'm A Dick" Luckily the wonderful people at Hospitality Point beat his ass! But this whole post still comes to this! WHO BOOTLEGED THE SHOW? I need this show, secruity was like nothing, please someone have it and offer it, PLEASE! anyway, it was worth the 2 and a half hour drive!

So the whole process, from placing the order online to having the package at my door took about 4 days! I had previously tried and failed to get it a Tower, HMV and Newbury Comics in the Boston area. For those who have no way to play vinal, we buy all our stero equipment at Good Will......got 2 turntable-radio-cassette player combos for $15. each, with lots of audio in & out and speaker connections on the back, so I have a portable CD player attached. We even got a working 8-track (what's an 8-track!???) player with radio and "quadphonic" sound with a lever to control (distribute) the sound between the 4 speakers....(bring back old memories....Alan, Larry, Victor, others??.......or have I just horribly "dated" myself??) Our best find was a 14/15 inch color tv for $10.00 which someone had returned after paying $35.00 for because it didnt work. We paid the $10 dollars took it home and banged on it and it worked fine - has continued to for 5 years (with the occasional kick or two) and I'm about to send it to Chris at college...best $10.00 I ever spent!!!

We shouldn't criticize them. It's another way to communicate/express on the list. Plus, that's how I recognize people when I read the posts. "Angel names" are easier to remember. I don't think we are doing it to be original or cool, just to get a sense of participation and belonging to this list. FOR NEWBIES......I see the question asked a lot "How do I get an angel name?" No one passes them out, you certainly can ask for suggetions, but most people just think one up and use it. You could watch the list for a few days to see if the one you want is taken; but, even if it was it doesn't matter. There are no Angel Name Police. We all don't have them. But they are fun.

I started looking for any cd with Jewel on it. I remembered from the discography page on the Pieces of Jewel Website that she was on Surfrider MOM. I looked and looked, but couldn't find it. So I asked and the guy went to look. He showed me a cd and said, "This isn't it is it?" I looked and sure enough it was Surfrider MOM! SO I said thanks and continued to look. I found the VH1 crossroads by myself. This might seem just ordinary, but what made it so lucky was that they were the last one of each cd. I paid and came home and listened to them over and over agian. They are both cool cds. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Sep 1997 11:42:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Lucky997@aol.com Subject: NJC: lately the list... hey angels- this is NOT a flame... Now, i'm not a veteran or anything, I've only been on the list for about 4 months. BUT i have been noticing lately that people are posting a lot of things that were already answered in previous posts or are answered in the FAQ. I mean, how many posts have we had that were asking about Adrian? I know I have answered two within the past month, both posted to the whole list thinking it would maybe stop people from asking the same question that has already been answered. yet this week there was another post about where did adrian come from? or questions like when is jewel going to be on tv? well - we've only been discussing her upcoming SNL performance for about a month- and pretty much whenever jewel is on tv, an angel posts it. and with this ANGELFOOD business - how many times has the angelfood trading page been posted? many people are willing to trade for blanks, so if you want angelfood go there! i'm not trying to flame anyone or hurt anyone's feelings but lately the list volume has gone up again and i'm sure it is due to these unnecessary posts. thanks for reading : ) <3 melissa ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Sep 1997 20:07:07 -0400 (EDT) From: MAXMOUZE@aol.com Subject: 9/20 - "Mixed Emotions" (a.k.a. I Cried When I Saw Jewel Up Close) I never thought that buying a concert ticket would spill out so many emotions - -- emotions I had never felt before. In three hours, I was overwhelmed with joy, uncontrollably sad, burning with anger, and red with embarrasment. The day had begun with a four hour drive to San Diego. I played Angelfood all the way down. When the car stopped, I had a headache from playing my headphones so loud. Still, I managed to play "Memoirs of a Housewife" seven times. I could not believe the woman who sang the songs that were so important in my life ("Jessica", "Memoirs of a Housewife", "Carnivore", etc.) would be in front of me later that day. I was nervous about going to Java Joe's. It was my first EDA gathering. What if the EDAs neglected me? What if I didn't fit in? I finally came in. Nobody said hello. They just looked at me. I felt alone, so I just sat at a table until Markus (or is it Marcus?) welcomed himself to me. I tried to build up a conversation, but I think I just annoyed him, since he kept turning his attention elsewhere. It was finally time for the concert. I got to my section and was stopped. Luckily, the EDAs who stopped me were Igor and Sinjin and Eric. I was honored to be able to talk to them. Steve Poltz came onstage. The show was starting. A lady helped me find my seat, which was in the sixth row but extremely far to the left. I watched with amazement as Jewel took the stage and sang songs with the voice that was the most important part of my life. Throughout the show, fans threw things onstage. I had a booklet I needed to get to her, but decided to wait until it was over. She'd appreciate it more then, right? At the end of the show, she gave the encore of "Angel Standing By" and "Amen". Ironically, my booklet was centered around these two songs. I felt it was a sign. The group I was standing in got closer and closer, until I was a few feet away from Jewel. She was vigorously singing autographs. I was too far away to get anything signed, but I was close enough so that I could see her facial expression. There, before was the most amazing person that has ever come into my life. And, that's when I started bawling. I could not believe Jewel was so close to me. Finally, Jewel stopped signing autographs and left. I was still crying, because I was excited to see her. I don't think people realized that I was emotional about seeing her and thought I was sad because I did not get an autograph. I was not sad at all, but being a guy, I think people didn't realize that I was crying out of extreme joy. A woman came up to me and said "Don't worry -- you'll meet her someday". I felt I should explain why I was crying, and told her a secret that not many people knew. "Jewel saved me from a suicide attempt." The security woman started telling people to leave. I was content on getting someone onstage to deliver my booklet to Jewel, and was about to call out to them, when she said "Crying won't do you any good -- you need to go!". This was the meanest thing anyone has ever said to me. She thought I was crying because Jewel did not sign her name on something I owned. I could care less about her autograph. I was just overwhelmed in bliss. The lady from before told the security woman that I had said I had almost commited suicide and that I was one of those "suicide people" and asked if she could get anybody. I didn't know why everyone was making such a big deal about it. A lot of people cry at concerts. I guess I was just bawling too hard and they thought I was upset and not happy. The security woman was very rude, and kept acting like she was better than everybody because she worked on the crew, and kept giving me looks like I was stupid for crying. The medical staff was called in. The lady from before told her some stuff she had asked me -- "He's staying at the Hyatt. That's all I could get out of him." I felt so dumb. They thought I was having a nervous breakdown and couldn't communicate. In reality, I was just happy to be in the presence of my guardian angel. The woman and her group started walking me away to the exit. I was upset, because I wanted to throw my booklet up on the stage, in hopes that someone would pick it up and deliver it. I was not given the chance. The woman and her daughters and her daughters' friends walked me home. She talked to me as if I was still suicidal. I never explained that I was suicidal months ago and it was Jewel's music that helped me build strength, and eventually become a nicer person. I felt ridiculous being talked to like a patient to a psychiatrist. She continued counseling me. I was upset that I never got to deliever the booklet, which told Jewel about how much she meant to me and how "Amen" had kept me from killing myself and how "Angel Standing By" was played when I had nobody except her angelic voice. It was a thank you. I never got it to her. My final chance had been waisted foolishly. On my way out, I saw Markus (Marcus?). He looked at me, paused, and then said "So, what'd you think of the show?". Being walked out by some overconcerned strangers, I said "Fine -- I had an emotional outburst at the end." He told me "Yeah, I saw." "Great!" I thought. "Someone else to think I'm crazy." What was the big deal? I think crying at a concert shows emotion that can't be revealed otherwise. Why was everyone so sympathetic? I was proud of my tears, for they showed my love for Jewel. I never thought that crying would make people think I was emotionally unstable and would keep me from delivering my gift. I didn't know it would keep me from telling Jewel. I hummed "Memoirs of a Housewife" on the long walk home. I kicked bottles. I wondered what the security guard, the obstacle between me and delivering my booklet to the most amazing woman in the world, was thinking. Did she even care? I think the emotion I feel the most is regret. I could have easily thrown it onstage if I had done it during hte show, like everybody else. I had no idea that they would clear the audience afterwards. People said the best thing to do was wait until the arena was empty. It was too late now. The booklet is still in my possesion, not the person it was intended for. I felt so ashamed of myself walking home. Not for crying, but for failing to do what I wanted to do -- let her know about how she has affected my life. I felt like there was an empty portion of my soul that needed to be filled by thanking her, even if not in person. So, if anyone can help me get the booklet to Jewel, it would help me complete the goal I have set for my life. I bought the ticket hoping for one last chance to thank her, but my own procrastination foiled the plan. Thank you for reading, and please get to know me as an EDA. It hurts to have to be a lurker, because people ignore you and think you don't care about Jewel. I would not be here if it wasn't for her. I would not be an angel if it wasn't for her. I would be a bad person if it wasn't for her. Perhaps, I'm addicted to her. Even in the car, I couldn't spend any time without playing a song or singing one. I can't think of any better addiction, however... Sincerely, MARK OXMAN The Emotional Angel =) P.S. If anyone wants to read what is in the booklet, e-mail me privately! :) ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #766 ***************************
