Bye, Matt ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Feb 1998 13:59:42 -0500 From: kinaba@completebbs.com Subject: What makes Jewel successful? There are many reasons for Jewel's success. Nearly her entire life has involved music, writing, and performing. Certainly, the guidance from Steve Poltz has helped Jewel as well. I think the largest reason for the success is that Jewel has an amazing work ethic. An EDA with a better memory can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was Neil Young who said 'Jewel was the hardest working artist in the business.' It was something to that effect; I don't really remember who said it, so if anyone knows who it was, please tell me. I believe that the reason Jewel has reached this kind of success is because she had a the complete package. She's a great performer, writer, and musician. Jewel is a really special artist.

And of course the bigger issue is how selfishness is a virtue but unfortunately society has placed an implication around the word selfish implying that selfishness is somehow bad. When in actuality it is the key to success, advancement, and coming to terms with one's inner being. >> When I read the title to this I was like what? but when I read the rest I learned that I felt the same way.In many of her songs and poems she mentions that she is selfish and she does look at herself very closely. What about the poem on the flap of Pieces of You- The poem "Me" on one line she says "I've been Selfish since a child." She knows of this(obviously.)

But I don't think that its a bad thing. I think everyone needs to be a little selfish. Besides, didn't every good Angel read the poetry in POY? "I've been selfish since a child," says Jewel...I think thats honesty, which is a better virtue than selflessness. If you're not a little bit selfish, you might get stepped on and then where would you be? You wouldn't be attracting millions of fans - you would still be on the ground.

Hi All- My mom says that I cannot give oout my e-mail address to anyone that I don't know but Oh well I have written to a couple of Angels. I just wanted to say that I saw a thingy on Jewel in All About You. It was in the March Issue (I just saw that and did not believe it came out already but oh well,) and it was near the Mega Band Special. Well that's it!! Katy The Angel With No Name =( I'm a newbie and I'm still working on a name. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Feb 1998 16:30:45 -0800 From: moonsong@ix.netcom.com (Charlie, Sami, Cobby) Subject: jewel stock Maybe I get confused easily, and I probably do, so I have more questions (bear with me guys). Well, first, I know this list used to have a lot more mail but it still seems to be a lot to me. Being a 14-year-old girl with a really busy life (school being only the half of it), I find I don't always have time to read everything closely, and maybe that's why I often get confused. Okay. So, I have only the POY album and a short concert taped from the radio that Jewel did, that's all of her songs I have, basically. I know there are sweet, kind people on this list who are willing to tape different things for those of us who are deprived, and I've heard all these different names, from JewelStock to AngelFood to AngelFoodBank to Future Folklore (3??).....Etc. I haven't been on this list for even a month so maybe I should settle down and watch for a bit, but I suppose I'm a bit too eager to get as much Jewel music as possible. Needless to say, I don't know what JewelStock or AngelFood is, besides vaguely sensing that it has something to do with Jewel's music :). Someone sent me a list of different concerts, etc. that I can order copies of....Basically, I think what I'm wondering is, is there someone out there who can clarify this for me? And, is there a collection of tapes or a tape or something that has the *most* unreleased Jewel songs, instead of my ordering a bunch of tapes with songs that I do and don't know on it? (Not to say that I wouldn't love to have 14 copies of "Who Will Save Your Soul," but for now, I just want to expand my collection on a variety of Jewel songs.) What's the difference between all these different tape catagories, what's the best....? I hope I haven't now confused all of YOU, too!

Definitely Near You Always. I find myself growing really close to guys but at the same time fighting this. I know a relationship is supposed to hinge somewhat on trust, but I sometimes have a hard time doing that. I am sure I am not alone on that one. Right now I am just working on trusting my boyfriend more since we almost broke up. Anyhow, that song has always been special to me because of that *grin* - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- {\o/} Lara, daisy angel I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day /_\ larajean@gmx.de ~Jewel Kilcher - ----- http://come.to/daisy ---------------------- ICQ UIN 7535343 ----- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Feb 1998 01:40:13 -0000 From: "Julie Benzie-Nicol" Subject: Re: trying to make a new thread of a little happiness.... >what jewel song reminds you most of yourself??? > >and > >what jewel song do you relate to the most??? hey there! this is a really good idea for a thread...not only does it make us all look at ourselves a wee bit, but it also relates ourselves to jewel's music... i'm not saying that we or i don't anyway, but it's nice to sit and really think about it... oh, btw, i'm a wee bit new here--i posted some 'thoughts' a while ago, so that was my initiation, and the couple of responses i received were nice enough to make me want to stay on the list--so i thank those of you who liked what you read just as much as i liked writing it! okay - lets get this thread rolling... what song reminds me of me...i love these selfish thougts...me me me...well, i can really identify with "morning song"...i love it! i'm a total 'oh, don't get up just yet...lets just snoogle down, cuddle up and go back to sleep' girl...now, *there's* a little piece of heaven...sigh... one song that i have a lot of personal feeling about is 'near you always'...there are a couple of people in my life who make me feel like this - not nescessarly the 'in love' feeling, but a love nonetheless...that song makes me smile (and sigh--i do *a lot* of that!) quite a bit... oh--and 'angel standing by'...that song is just lovely and is totally dedicatable (such a word?..hmm) to 'that special person in your life', which it has been in mine...sigh... =) okay, i could go on, but writing that has made me smile, so i'm going to play those songs on the guitar now...happy happy happy...! take care! julie - --the Angel of Haggis-- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Feb 1998 21:44:37 EST From: ViolntPhem@aol.com Subject: 1996 Angelfood Angels~` I'm really hoping that somebody here will be able to save me here. I recently recieved a copy of angelfood entitled: Tower Records, Hollywood, Ca. 3-28-96 It says on the J-card that she sings Chime Bells, Absence of Fear, and Sunshine Superman. Unfortunately, the card lied. Plus, the tape isn't that high of quality ('course it isn't that bad either!).

First off I want to say that I agree wholeheartedly with Sean's post. I think because Jewel is selfish is why several us like her so much. Finding a quality like that in a person today is rare and we all feel special to in one way or another being able to connect with her. Whether it be in person that some of us have met and connected with her or through her songs, we all feel her selfishness and self confidence,(in a good way!). Anyway on to business. I would like any newbie that has NO ANGELFOOD to reply to me with the subject NEWBIE OFFER. This applies to only the newbies that nothing except POY. I have six different Angelfood tapes to give away. I will take the first six who respond with the correct subject. Go for it Newbies!!

HI everyone; I am probably about to make some of you a bit ticked, but I am not intending to offend anyone. Some might, to be as accurate a possible, want to qualify your definition of selfishness. The definition of selfishnes implies complete dissregard for others, and I don't belive that Jewel is in any way that far gone in the depth of human depravity. Having selfworth, to a point, does benefit ones outlook on life and gives a person one reason to improve yourself. I think what I want to say is that a better way to discribe Jewel would be, she is a very heart-felt emotion filled young woman that has enough self confidence to carry on each day improving in maturity, and still has the integrity to be care for those around her. She is the most amaizing female singer that I have ever heard. She has a great voice and personality in her music, while staying on the mild end of social morality.
