For those of you who have been involved in this debate over Jewel's new album
and over her appearance, I hope this will give you all her perspective.  While
I don't think it is wrong that someone mearly answered that yes, she does have
crooked teeth, I do think the topics have gotten out of hand.  Yes, her teeth
are crooked, but as you can see from this article, Jewel takes pride in her
"imperfect" beauty.  I think she is an inspiration for all of us.  How many
times do women look at themselves in the mirror and wonder if they will ever
compare to the magazine models?  Jewel teaches us that it is more than the
beauty on the outside that counts.  She brings this beauty to us through her
music, her poetry and her spirit.  That is what we should remember.  Perhaps
she will teach those girls who feel bad about their little imperfections that
they too, are beautiful.

Any nice people willing to copy some angel
food for me?  I have absolutely none at all...

Also, this may be a little off-topic, but does anyone have
tapes from any of the following that they could
record for me:
Ani DiFranco
Sarah McLachlan
Indigo Girls
Melissa Etheridge
Veruca Salt
Poe
Janis Joplin

Subject: NJC: EDAF: Calling all web researchers... 

   hi all. chris moynihan here. since i'm in charge of the EDAF Information
Committee, the first thing i thought was "hey, all committees should have
members, why should this one be any different?" then i thought, "next we
should get some information." so i set out to realize these momentous tasks.

   my first step was to recruit some people. so i asked myself, and with very
little persuasion, i accepted. ali (bluclouds@aol.com) volunteered her help as
well. this past weekend seth fulmer expressed interest in helping, so
hopefully he can manage a small amount, wedged between his own
responsibilities. rachel  (cornflkgl@aol.com) is said to be a skillful
internet researcher, so i hope to brainwa...um ..recruit her into helping.
anyhoo, this task is well in motion. (of course, any volunteers are welcome,
don't wait for me to ask you)

   next, we need information, resources, volunteer opportunities, etc.
eventually i would like to build a database, seearchable of course, with all
sorts of goodies. for now, though, a simple list of links, with short blurbs
on what they are, organized by category will be sufficient.

  anyone who wishes to help out, even if just a little, here's some advice on
how:

  1. go to your favorite search engine and look for one of these following
ideas... volunteer opportunities, non-profit resources, non-profit
organizations, community services, etc. be creative. sites like yahoo have
huge catagories like these.

2. just bookmark the sites and send me a list of them. if you want to help a
bit more, give me a list of the sites URLs with a short one or two sentence
description of what it is, and send it to me. i'll take care of organizing it,
so don't worry about that.

  anyone who helps will be given ample credit for their efforts. meanwhile, i
will continue to research my own leads. any of you who'd like to help, please
let me know. you don't have to make a huge commitment. just a little bit of
time. i know a lot of you have 10 or 20 minutes of online time to spare while
you chat or check mail. i know i do. so, if you have any questions, drop me an
email, and i'll be glad to get back to you. that's all for now :)

  always crazy,
    chris

Subject: Jewel: An Everyday Angel

Hi EDA's,

Today at my school's book fair, I almost died when i saw a book
sitting on the shelf sawing JEWEL! I grabed it and got it. It's a
unauthoized biography, it's got 16 pages of coloured photos and it was
the last one there. It's by Tracy West. I'm finished it aready, it was
mosty stuff i know, but it's good. There's a chapter just about us, EDA.

It cost $5.30 CANADA.

Talk to you later,

Subject: Obsession

On the topic of obsession...

I really hate the word.  I think in this world it's somehow uncool to be 
too 'into' something.  Now, in some cases, obsession truly IS obsession 
and if you start to lose yourself in something, that's dangerous.  But 
what people sometimes call obsession...passion--great things can come of 
that.  In the case of Jewel--celebrities can be a great source of 
inspiration, and ultimately, if you're wise, you don't model yourself 
entirely after them or idolize them, but rather learn from them as you'd 
learn from your uncle or your dog.  

Kelly


>that's something to be proud of. I'm D**N well proud of being obsessed  w/

Subject: Jewel in August "Guitar One" Magazine 

June 2, 1998

	I haven't been keeping up with my list postings, so I don't know if
this has been reported yet, but Jewel is featured as part of an
article entitled "Ascent of the Woman: An Inside Look at 10
Chart-Topping Ladies," a cover story in the August issue of Guitar
One Magazine.

	There's a b&w picture of Jewel on the cover (an old one), and two
pictures inside (page 56: alone, in a yellow jacket; and page 58:
standing, with Sheryl Crow).  In addition, POY is pictured on a
"time-line" called "Women in Time: A Chronology of Significant
Recordings," which includes 22 recordings starting in 1971 with
Janis Joplin's "Pearl" and ending with Natalie Imbruglia's "Left of
the Middle."  (POY is incorrectly pegged into 1996, and I, for one,
would have had a much different list.) 

	The portion about Jewel is brief and has nothing that isn't common
knowledge to EDAs.  The text:

  	"WHO: Jewel Kilcher took her organic upbringing and masterfully
translated it into the ultimate major label debut: Many of the
tracks off of "Pieces of You" feature nothing but her finely tuned
vocal chops and delicate acoustic guitar work.  Jewel grew up in
Homer, Alaska in a house that -- among other missing amenities --
had no shower and no TV (the only bathroom was outdoors -- a
freezing-cold outhouse).  Her parents offset their homestead's lack
of modern conveniences by playing music and singing around the
house.  From the age of six, Jewel performed alongside her
singing/songwriting parents on stage and on the road, yodeling up a
storm as a featured part of her parents' set.  Unfortunately her
parents later divorced, but Jewel kept her musical flame burning
bright by touring with her father, singing in bars and restaurants
over the next seven years.  MAKING MUSIC: ‘After my parents got
divorced, I started writing poetry a lot because I didn't always
know how to express myself.  That, to me, is the real beauty of
writing: It makes you more intimate with yourself.'  TURNING POINT:
‘Despite my surroundings, I felt a lot of social pressure to figure
out what I was gonna do with the rest of my life.  I had no desire
to go to college, but I also felt no peace in traveling or just
bumming around.  I got a number of dead-end jobs; got fired a couple
of times.  I was frightened and a little depressed.  The idea of
spending my life in a nine-to-five job made me feel trapped and
hopeless.  My two years [at Interlochen Fine Arts Academy] were a
turning point.  I saw a bigger world.  I immersed myself in
everything -- drama, dance, sculpture, music.'  ON THE ROAD: ‘One of
my favorite things to do is sit and watch people walking by.  I
remember the details of what people look like -- their expressions,
their posture, their words.  I make up their lives to be tragic or
boring or brilliant or normal.'

	"Guitar One" is published by Cherry Lane Magazines.  They have an
e-mail address at <GuitarOne@cherrylane.com>.

	Seeya!
