If you can believe it, Victoria is set to host one of the most popular artists of the '90s, Grammy winner and superstar singer/songwriter Jewel Kilcher. She brings her ubiquitous talents to Legends tonight in honor of The Ocean's second birthday, but good luck in getting tickets; it's a closed-door affair that is only accessible with wristbands previously won on The Ocean's airwaves or through a contest with the Times Colonist. Last year the popular soft-rock station staged a similar stunt by bringing Hootie and the Blowfish to town to celebrate their first year on the air. In speaking with The Ocean's Andrew Lindsay last week, Jewel was brief but big-hearted. She was busy preparing for a sound check for her performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. 'To me, fame has never been some huge glamorous attraction,' the enthralling folkie said of her widespread popularity. 'When you're raised in a place like Alaska, I think you value what's real.' Brought up by musician parents -- her father was a successful yodeller -- Jewel was groomed to have an appreciation for music. Her music was her life and by the time she had moved to San Diego to play the coffeehouse circuit and live in her Volkswagen van, Jewel was noticing the effects her talents had on people. 'I hoped that just because I got into the music business I wouldn't have to appeal only to 12-year-olds,' she said earnestly, 'because my original shows in San Diego had a real mix in age.' Jewel's star has risen like a comet since her debut album was released three years ago. That album, Pieces of You, started slowly but steadily gained popularity with everyone from kids to adults to alternative rockers to electronic music fans. Judging be her recent performance of the U.S. National Anthem at The Super Bowl, her soon-to-be--released book of poetry, her in-the-works movie and her basic knack for all things adorable, Jewel is proving to be as precious as the gem her name summons forth." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Feb 1998 23:47:44 -0800 From: Jan Winters Subject: NJC: a day in a small coffee shop- a wonderful singer everyone should get to know Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit content-length: 2040 Sender: owner-jewel@smoe.org Precedence: bulk hi EDA'S! this post is about Nancy Cook. first of all i love jewel, i love folk music, i love underground music, i love anything that is real and not manufactured . today a friend and i saw this little coffee shop and went into it. i live in south florida, most the people there were pretty old. this very pretty blond haired woman stood up at the stage with her guitar ready to sing. she made goofy faces at the audiance, told stories about colorado and trees. she said that she gets horny, that she is vulgar, that she is sensitive. she was real. i was starstruck and so was my best friend. here in this little town, a beautiful artisit is right infront of me. her songs were true, telling stories. her voice's powerful and beautiful and she can play a mean guitar. during break my friend needed to go out to do something so i stayed in the coffee shop and waited for her. Nancy went up to me, telling me that she's really glad i'm listenning to her music.i was in awe. i just said "your brilliant!" she sat next to me and we talked and talked about everything. she said that she thinks i'm hot and that i'll make it in the music scene, that i need to sing, pick up a guitar and use my poetry. no ones ever said this to me, so i was really touched, she said that she has a lot of faith in me. that she could feel great vibes. i told her my dream of being in san diego, and then she gave me her email and web adress she also gave me a list of really good musicians. anyhow, my friend came back and we bought two of her CD's, we stayed to listen to one more song, and she said "this song is to a young woman that i just spoke to in the audiance, i hope you like it hon". it was about going to san diego, and realizing that it's really not home since no one knows your name. and how you need to remember where you come from . it was really beautiful. i just wanted all of you to know that NANCY COOK IS AMAZING. she is really worth it. kat imperfect angel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 07 Feb 1998 03:14:27 EST From: sparksmark@juno.com (Sparks the Everyday Angel) Subject: JC Most Recent Jewel Magazines These magazines have mentions of Jewel: All About You: Jan. pg. 25 People: 25 Most Intriguing People of 1997 Entertainment Weekly: Jan. #416 pg. 32-33 Teen People: (?)Jan.(?)

I don't want to get all bitchy and say exactly what's getting on my nerves, so I won't and I'll just leave it at that. I still want to be a part of everything, I just can't be on the list like I am now. If I hadn't made so many great friends on this list, I would probably be leaving it entirely. Those of you who know me are more than welcome to keep in touch with me, you have my address at the top on the header thingee. It's been fun!

Well, last summer my family and I went on a camping trip. On the twelve hour drive up there, I remember hearing Who Will Save Your Soul for the first time. Her voice was the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard. I loved it, but I was a little upset because I didn't know who she was and I was sure it would be a while until I heard it again. But, on that twelve hour drive, I must have heard it about 20 times. It was wonderful. I bought POY the first day I got home, and have listened to it everyday since.

The basics that I know are that Michel Francoeur is a model from the Canadian province of Quebec. He and Jewel have been a couple for a year or more (others will know more, sorry if I'm wrong). Until this week I'd never had the opportunity to speak with Michel, but we've met and chatted a number of times now and I'd say he's a really warm, considerate and gracious guy. A lot of EDAs who have met Tara Maclean and Bill Bell have remarked on what a great couple they make. Well, Michel's not around as often (could be that he's not a guitarist on stage!) or high profile (and probably is happy that way) but he and Jewel are definitely a really nice pair of human beings. He was very genuine in asking myself and others how we enjoyed the show and was concerned with our feelings from the start. I'm sure being in love with a pop superstar as Jewel is now billed has its own stresses. So if you get a chance to say "hi" - I'm sure he'll appreciate the goodwill. It's pretty satisfying when you see good people end up with other good people. We should all be so lucky in love. Keep believing and live your dreams... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Feb 1998 18:31:45 +0000 From: peace@mail.gic.net.au Subject: Lyrics to Gods gift to women In the song Gods gift to women, part of the lyrics go something like And you're so vain You probably think this song is about you Is this a common phrase or what because I've heard these lyrics before in another song. On another note, I think FCS should go for the multimedia approach like what Sarah McLachlan's "Surfacing" CD.

Currently in its 102nd week on the Billboard 200 (where it remains the longest-running current album on the chart), the album was released on February 28th, 1995. PIECES OF YOU continues to rack up sales around the world with a certification of five-times platinum in Canada; four-times platinum in New Zealand, where the album topped the charts; triple-platinum in Australia; platinum in Singapore; and gold in Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Norway, and Spain. Jewel recently set a new record for longevity on Billboard's "Hot 100" with her smash single, "Foolish Games/You Were Meant For Me." The single, currently in its 63rd week on the nation's pop chart, recently passed the 60-week record previously set by Los Del Rio's "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)." I think we can all sleep a lot easier now that we know that the Macarena holds no chart records.

This email is not meant to criticize, because I know where some of you are coming from when you say perhaps Jewel is losing faith in her simple and honest beliefs. So I want everyone to know, this letter is not to start a conflict or anything. But we have really exhausted the term, "everyday angels". A lot of us have lost faith in Jewel simply because she is getting tired of touring for three or four years now, feelings we would have had a long time ago if we were her. Some of us believe she's more or less been dragged down to doing movies just because she wants more publicity- when Jewel is simply talented and just expanding her horizons. Jewel dubbed us EDAs because we weren't judgemental- we were kind and we had faith in her. She has always and will always appreciate her fans. She KNOWS she could wake up and this could all be gone. She appreciates what support we have given her. If she ever talks badly about the fans, I never have thought she's reffering to us. There are a lot of people, who sad to say, only liked Jewel because she was a mainstream artist. And I think if she admits this, then there's no reason to scorn her. So what if Jewel is making a movie? She's expanding her horizons. I thought the job she did in The Wizard of Oz thing was very genuine and very good. There's no reason a talented person shouldn't be able to explore new horizons. She is tired of singing these same 14 songs. The honest feeling they once had has been dragged out and stretched tour after tour after tour, once again I think it's because of the "fans" who only liked Jewel because she was a mainstream artist. After three years, yes, i think for jewel they would have lost their meaning. She just sings them and sings them. And I sympathize for her because these are her trademarks and to her, they are just becoming redundant. She loves and appreciates her true fans. I don't know what's spreading the doubt. She doesn't appreciate those who only like her for being mainstream, at least in my opinion. Let's revive our faith in Jewel and renew the everyday angels term. We all are angels- don't let that be oppressed by silly irrational thoughts. Again, don't criticize. Every word here was only intended to renew our faith...not to flame people. Because I understand where you are coming from- but I think you should review everything good first. :-) Snowy The angel with lead wings ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V3 #94 **************************
