I was really urked by the message from the guy that said all those things= about Jewel and her "Education" and "Musical talents". He didn't sound = like a very true Jewel fan to me. Most Jewel fans know everything they = can about her, read everything they can about her, and love her solo guit= ar and vocals act. I'm also really annoyed that so many of these newbies= are being really pretentious, and acting like all of us Jewel fans who = have been around for years, don't know anything about her at all. Like = the smoking issue, and the eye color. They just argue about it when they= don't know anything about it! And then that sets off a fireworks explos= ion of messages that all say the same things: "It's a lollipop", "her eye= s are green"... etc. I just have a request to all the newbies... please = research this stuff and find out what you can by looking at other websit= es. Rehashing all this stuff every two months is getting old. Just my thoughts, please don't flame me for them!

I am not as aware or involved in many of the Jewel news and information as many of you are. I would be very interested in getting Jewel tapes from her concerts as well as unreleased songs. Would anyone be willing to have me send them tapes so they could make copies of Jewel songs for me? I would be happy to pay for S&H. Well please E-Mail me if anyone is interested.

EDAC. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!! In this world, there are many types of people. Some choose to be mean to others, others choose to smile on the people with whom they share the beautiful gifts to them called life and the earth in which we live. I have chosen, because of my need to be true to myself and my soul, to join the group of people (which is bigger than many of us think...) that looks to each other with gentility and kindness. To me, this is being an angel. Knowing that I am loved and that I love, knowing that I can hope and pray and dream and wish on stars, knowing that faith exists, knowing that miracles happen. To me all this is what being an angel means. It has nothing to do with this list per sey, it has nothing to do with whether I am a list vet or a newbie, it has nothing to do with how much I like Jewel. It has to do with the fact that I am human and that I accept all the rsponsibilities of sensitivity that go along with being a human, with being a creation of nature. And that's why I believe Jewel wrote the words "we are everyday angels." Angels exist on a day to day basis. They are found in the smile of a stranger you see in an elevator, in the hand of a passer-by on the street stepping aside to let someone pass, in the kindness we show to each other, in the patience we have with ourselves, and in each facet of our day to day lives. Anyone who accepts the degree of soul, spirit, and sensitivity that is part of humanity and who devotedly attempts to live his or her life THROUGH all that is an angel. Part of being an angel is realizing the fact that you are love. You are a part of somtehing greater than yourself, part of something that laces together all facets of creation, whether that be a flower, a bird in the sky, the beautiful blue running water, the people you embrace, the words you write, the strokes you paint on paper. It's all creation. It's all love. It's something that, while it makes everything unique from everything else, also unites everything with the bonds of solidarity, understanding, and sincerity. And it is up to us to acknowledge that it exists in this world. A few days ago, I was talkin to Albert Wang before my shift at work started, and he made a comment. It was veyr simple, just something he said in passing: "You know, one of these days I am going to make my own compilation of songs with the word 'Angel' in the title." If you look through your CD collections, you will be surprised at all the songs...of so many different genres of music...which are about Angels. And then it is even mor amazing to read the lyrics to these songs. It seems that each song has one common thread even more significant than the physical word of "angel": they all revolve around the concept of being everyday angels and having angels in our life, for guidance, love, and companionship. A frente song, called "Ordinary Angels," serves almost as a reminder that we ARE everyday angels. The chrous is so cool: Ordinary angels that's ok you don't have to wear those wings (sorry if I got the spacing of lines wrong) In the grand scheme of things, it does no seem all that important that wecall ourselves angels or everyday angels because of a line in a Jewel song. True, it is our official name as a group, but apply that to your daily lives. Smile on each other. Be kind to everyone in your day to day worlds. Love and ALLOW yourselves to be loved. Let peace enter you and let your own peace slip out into the world. Wear your halos with pride! I love you all stephanie Stephanie Maria Kartalopoulos We should be very greatful to have a kartalst@hugse1.harvard.edu limited body...like mine or like The Greek Poet Chyck yours.

J songs Hi, I haven't said much lately, just kind of sat back and observed these past couple of days. As I was reading most of your mail, I started wondering what are all of your favourite Jewel songs???? Don't ask, but I'm REALLY interested. I know most of you will probably say ALL OF THEM!! that's what I'd say, but if you could single one out, what is??? all of you!!! mine would probably have to be, ummmm if you've heard Jewel sing it, it's a Patty Smith tune, it's called Dancing Barefoot. thanx!

Utter) Subject: About the Pop Up Video Hey angels, This is my first post even though I've been on the list for about two months. I just had a question: I missed the Pop Up Video this weekend that had Foolish Games. Isn't there a Pop Up Video version of YWMFM, too, or am I mistaken? If there are two Jewel Pop Up Videos, which is the one that mentions Interlochen, her old high school? I really need to know this, because that one had a lot of personal meaning to me. Someone please let me know. Thanks. - - the Indigo Angel ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Nov 1997 22:57:07 -0500 From: jason Subject: lyrcis where can i find the lyrics to the jewel's "kiss your ass" song? the first time i saw her (also the night i found my girlfriend of eight months :) she said something about it and i found it on the audio only page but, i can't hear all the words (no matter how many times i listen to it, they just don't seem to click). also, on a little side note, who's idea was it to allow alcohol at jewel shows? the last time i saw her (it was at finger lakes community college in central new york) by the time her opening act came out, half the people there were trashed and were yelling for him to leave. i wish i could remember his name but it was my 6 month anniversary and i was telling my baby how much i loved her so i missed it. when jewel came out she was pissed. i was so upset, even embarrassed because i grew up around that area so i felt responsible (how, i'm not sure, but i did). she asked everyone that was talking or saying things to him to leave. she did very little audience participation (which made me sad 'cause when i first saw her, we were at a college gym about ten feet away and every song she'd tell a story and the rugburns were there and jewel and steve told this story about them, some mexican police, fishermen and pot. the mexican police were giving steve and jewel a ride in their boat and found some fishermen smuggling pot, like a huge hay-bale of it, and arrested the fishermen and they all lit up (the police and fishermen, our jewel and mr. poltz turned them down). she said they have pictures of the two of them that day with the policemen's machine guns and headbands on and pretty much all rambo-ed out. they said it'll be the cover the album they always talk about doing together (has anyone seen the picture or heard about it before?). anyway, my original additional question was supposed to be, who's idea was it to sell beer, wine, ect? did they ask her? jason, the angel that gets side tracked to easy ps, this is my first post, how'd i do? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Nov 1997 22:38:02 -0500 From: smilesbaby@juno.com (Chrissie Seto) Subject: New to list Hi EDA's, I'm new to the list thing so u angels have to help me out w/ this.

Welcome Chrissie! :) These haven't been posted in a while....below are the ten poems Jewel read to the audience at JewelStock. They were transcribed by Mrs.BB and posted by Mr.BB awhile back. As MrBb would say...enjoy! :) Mike :) 1. GOD KNOWS WHAT TIME IT IS by Jewel Kilcher 7/96 God knows what time it is And I awakened by what? Perhaps a noise unsettled me Or a fitful dream filled me with sour grapes and snowstorms Limbs torn at the joints with a heavy and transluscent burden He was on my lips again Haunting me Soiled linen Bloody and tangled About my intestines I want to get out So I sit and I sweat A blond flame of a refugee Throwing up words Like gravestones In the bathroom 2. HAUNTED BY 2 LIPS AT 3:00 A.M. by Jewel Kilcher 7/96 This cigar will not leave me And I too lazy to get my book Write on random pages To further dizzy and dilute Any scrap of discipline I dreamt I gained by the silly age of 22 Not even coated in nickel or copper Just a harsh brass That stares me down in a mirror On nights like this While my lover sleeps His razor sharp princess Disillusioned by falling stars And haunted by 2 lips at 3:00 A.M. 3. INFATUATION by Jewel Kilcher 7/96 Infatuation is a strange thing A bony creature Thin from feeding on itself It is addicted not to its subject But to it's own vain hunger And needs but a pretty face To fuel its rampant imagination It's humid couch and sweaty palms It's fleshy carpets ablaze with conquest But when conquering is complete The blood leaves its limbs And it becomes disenchanted Dissipointed even to the point of disgust With its subject who sits there Like a hollow trunk emptied of its cargo And left to fade like defeated naval ships A seed relieved of its transparent husk To dissolve finally On a rough and impatient toungue 4. Son Bathing by Jewel Kilcher 7/96 I read a book and the man thinks I cannot see the wrinkled posture of his son while he is nudged He thinks I cannot sense four eyes upon my flesh As the father tries to bond with his teenage boy by oogling my breasts 5. I GUESS WHAT I WANTED by Jewel Kilcher 7/96 I guess what I wanted was to hear you'd stay with me always I guess what I wanted was to see those hands vowing never to leave my own I guess what I wanted to know was that I am not living in vain 6. FAT by Jewel Kilcher 7/96 There she sat a mound of flesh With just two eyes to comprehend The extensiveness of her being She made a mountain of herself So no-one could look down So no-one would miss or fail to see The tiny woman hands that talked Desperately of delicate things Through a fistful of rings To all who would stop and listen 7. TAKING THE SLAVE by Jewel Kilcher 7/96 Burn her eyes without hope of understanding them Kiss her mouth that you may fathom its strange toungue Rape her mind because it is not your own But so sweet, So familiar Like coming home to a native land Your pale and inbred hands can only faintly fathom 8. LOST,ALONE,FEAR,DESPERATION,HOPE,GRACE by Jewel Kilcher LOST is a puzzle of stars that breaths like water and chews like stone. ALONE is a reminder of how far your acceptance is from your understanding. FEAR is a bird that believes itself into extinction. DESPERATION - the honest recognition of a false truth. HOPE- seeing who you really are at your highest is who you will become. GRACE- the refinement of a soul through time. 9. I AM NOT FROM HERE by Jewel Kilcher 7/96 I am not fom here My hair smells of the wind and is full of constellations And I move about this world with a healthy disbelief And I approach my days and my work with vaporous consequence A touch that is translucent, but can violate stone 10. AS A CHILD I WALKED... by Jewel Kilcher 7/96 As a child I walked with noisy fingers Along the hemline of so many meadows of back home Green fabric stretched out, shy earth, shock of sky I'd sit on logs like pulpits Listen to the sermons of sparrows And find God in simplicity There among the dandelions and thorn Now I frequent hotel lobbies Like a chain smoker having a bad day A nasty habit that breeds itself Delivering each day to the needy next Each with the promise of glitter and glory But how my tiny heart aches to return Like a daisy rooted in rot and rubbish Asked to grow in strange rooms Fed neon and cold pizza I fear I may wither with forgetfulness So I pull these pages close about my ears Tiny leafy limbs pale with impression My pen a single flame to keep me warm Like a beacon holding memory Until I am able to go back to my lovely mountains Or until I am strong enough to bring the essence to the rest of these hungry people Who long to remember the simplicity which lies beyond the cities inbred streets And the Godliness that resides in us all * The Jewel Mailing List Netiquette & New Member Guide is at: * http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup * * If you are new to the list and need someone to guide you * please check out the "Adopt A Newbie" page at: * http://www.geocities.com/wellesley/3079/newbies.html * * If you have list related questions, feel free to email me * at Ducksoup@spectra.net * * DuckofPrey@aol.com WhyADuck55 on AOL Instant Messenger ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Nov 1997 14:00:33 -0500 (EST) From: Jessica Ann Masongsong Subject: HArd Rock LIve Hey, Has anyone else noticed in Jewel's Hard Rock Live, when she sings Foolish Games, near the end of it, she couldn't reach a high note, so in disgust, she clearly says, "SH*T!" in the microphone.

About alcohol, the posession of a liquor license is almost required these days to get the big acts. The Toledo Zoo Ampitheatre never had anything but the Orchestra until they got their license, and then this summer we had Jewel, the Steve Miller Band, Sammy Hagar, Chicago, Santana... It's the venue that decides, as far as I know. - -tim 'burkeman' ______ ____ ____ / ____/ / __ \ / | Tim Burke / __/ / / / / / /| | tb340297@oak.cats.ohiou.edu / /___ / /_/ / / ___ | /_____/ /_____/ /_/ |_| "I am a worm." -Jewel ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #876 ***************************
