The lady said she received a call that Jewel was the new guest right before checking her e-mail and reading my letter, and it was really weird that I had asked about her. I thought it was a sign. I have been wanting to thank Jewel for doing something for me (can't say what, sorry) for a year now and every attempt I had was foiled. Everyone said -- including some EDAs -- if it was meant to happen, it will happen someday. I never thought I'd ever get the chance to talk to Jewel and tell her how I feel. I asked about FANatic and it was at the same moment that they found out she was the new guest. I think it's a sign. Anyway, I guess I was the first caller because I talked to them before I even knew Jewel had confirmed the show. I really want to thank her... it would put a closure to an empty part of my soul.

I had a conversation with her on the phone for about 20 minutes or so because I had so much tot alk about how Jewel inspired me.. She told me soemthing around the lines of "wow you have so much to say, you should leave me an email" and so I left her a really long letter explaining things. She said they're looking for people who really know Jewel's poetry (me hehe) and things that inspired or affected them in the tune of "life traumas" She told me she would definitely talk to me again because I had so much energy about this and that I was quite outspoken for a 16 year old *blush* But needless to say, she was very kind and told me she's get in touch after she does the phone things.. She's so nice too! We started wandering off on other things like how I'm a very astrologically-driven and spiritual person and since Jewel is a Gemini (as am I) I feel some kind of connection in terms of events and such. so unless you have some _really good_ reasons for being jewel's #1 fan in terms of inspirations, it would be quite hard to be put on this show. I hope i get to do it because Jewel has affected me _majorly_ in like 5029837498274927 different ways.. take care angels.. good luck to all of you ttyl - -linda the lovable angel ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Jun 1998 00:10:08 -0700 (PDT) From: 90 blackwell Subject: fragile flame does anyone know when the song "Fragile Flame" was writtten or the first time Jewel performed it?

She asked a lot about how Jewel affected me and why I liked her so much. We talked a lot about her poetry. She told me I was energetic and very well spoken. So, she asked me to write her an email with a paragraph telling her which of Jewel's poems I could relate to the most and why. Then she said she'd call me again after that.

I've never sent a message in so I thought I'd do so now. I'm still kinda confused on how all of this works so if any one could find it in their heart to help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Can anyone enlighten me a little on the whole Jewel fanatic show thing. I would love to meet her, but from what I've gathered they want obsessive fans. I'm not obsessed but I am a very devoted fan for my age. Jewel has been a very strong influence in my life, she touches my heart and comforts me with her music, and inspirers me and gives me the courage to follow my dreams with the story of her life. I'm sorry for rambling. I know some of this probably sounds kinda corney but I just wanted to throw in my two cents.

Robertson" Subject: Steve Poltz Discusses Steve Poltz Discusses Music, Touring and Ms. Jewel _______________________ PREVIEW Steve Poltz When: Tonight Where: City Media Club Tickets: at the door - -------------------------------- Shawn Ohler Journal Music Writer EDMONTON Even before the question's halfway out of his interviewer's mouth, Steve Poltz has the answer ready. "She's really nice, man. She's awesome. She's a sweet girl." "She" is Jewel, Poltz's ex-girlfriend/songwriting partner and the one person he's always grilled about when he chats up his blossoming solo career to writers. "Every interview I've ever done, I get asked about Jewel. But that's OK. I don't mind," said Poltz, a Halifax-born singer who now lives in San Diego. "It's an interesting point. If someone's flipping through a magazine who's a Jewel fan or a Jewel hater, they see my name and go, 'Huh? What? He went out with her? He wrote what with her?'" What Poltz wrote with her was You Were Meant For Me, Jewel's breakthrough hit from her debut album Pieces of You. The two were just struggling musicians when they wrote the song, playing coffeehouses in San Diego and penning tunes on scrap paper: "We were just surfing and writing songs. When we wrote You Were Meant For Me, we wrote it on the back of a cocktail napkin and threw it into a guitar case with a bunch of other songs," Poltz said. "Imagine if that song had fallen out and we'd gorgot it. Had I known that that song, to paraphrase Steve Earle, would have become such a 'financial pleasure,' I would have got one of those Brinks security trucks to drive the napkin home in. 'Don't let anybody touch this! It's going to knock the Macarena off the top of the charts!'" Poltz never imagined Jewel would become a star, but Jewel always thought Poltz would. "She'd say, 'Oh my God, I love your songs. One day you're going to be huge.' And I'd be like, 'Shut up. I am not,' and start laughing. And now I'm starting out and it's like Jewel the sequel, Jewel the movie, Jewel the poetry book." Poltz, who's touring to support his own major-label debut One Left Shoe, said he's often accused of milking the Jewel connection to further his own carreer. "Sure, I'd get that. But all people have to do is look at her back press where she'd say, 'Steve Poltz used to teach me about music.' Those people haven't done their homework," he said. "She was in an old video I did with my old band (The Rugburns). She's a friend of mine. That's how I look at it. It's all part of this great ride I've had." The ride started when Poltz moved to California from Halifax when he was a little boy. "My parents hated cold weather so they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly. Pasadena and Palm Springs, actually. Dad started selling air conditioners," Poltz said. The singer, now 38, went to the University of San Diego and for a political science degree. Dreams of an overseas ambassadorship filled his head, but he ended up with a job selling plumbing supplies and schmoozing clients at Padres games. "Not the most gratifying job. You'd think it would be. I feel like I let myself down because I didn't succeed at selling plumbing supplies and pipe nipples," he said. Poltz had better luck busking in Eurpoe and returned to the U.S confident that he could make a career as a musician. He formed the Rugburns, a theatrical band that had a cult following in the U.S. "We were everything. I kind of called it country-punk-folk and then I'd tell journalists it was really slow speed-metal. And they wouldn't get it," he said, laughing. "We were influenced probably by Hank Williams and The Replacements and Rickie Lee Jones. We'd do anything. We'd do songs from the Rocky Horror Picture show." Those eclectic tastes carried over to One Left Shoe, a folk based album that manages to seamlessly incorporate ska horns (he borrowed the Might Mighty Bosstones' horn section) and odes to former baseball star John Kruk. It's also heavy on dreamy love songs and confessional odes that reflect is love of writers like James Taylor and Jackson Browne. "I really wanted to make a pretty mellow record. I was so ready to. I had toured so long playing electric guitar, and I wanted to do something else," he said. "Some people who were into the Rugburns were really mad. They think they own you. But it was liberating to just say, 'Screw you, this is what I'm doing.'" ~**~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~ Lyn :-) kroberts@connect.ab.ca ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Jun 1998 17:22:22 -0400 From: "Arjay McKenzie" Subject: Hi EDA's Hi, I'm Jay, 20/m from Toronto, Canada.

I thought you guys would be interested to read it. So here it is: **************************************************************************** ***************** POETRY BOOK IS A REAL GEM _________________________ We snorted when we heard Jewel was publishing a book of poetry. After all, lots of people like to consider themselves poets ~ yet most aren't. The planet reeks of bad poetry. Plus, nobody gets poetry published. But enough ranting... Jewel's book, "A Night Without Armor"($15, HarperCollins), has just been released ~ and once again, we'll rave. Jewel's poems are honest and moving, playful and tender. Here's what she had to say about her hidden talent: Why she writes poetry: "I never wrote my poetry thinking people would hear it. I wrote it just out of my own need to understand what was going on in my life, and also out of my own fascination with imagination, fairytales and that kind of thing. ...I think poetry , you know, needs to be honest, and the only was it's honest is if you're not trying to make it sound like something ohter people will want to hear." Why she put out a book: " Through the pop culture, people have come to know me in an odd way. I've been kind of perceived through the media to be a girl raised in Alaska by wolves in an igloo on a commune or something. ...So I was interested in putting this book out so that people would know me for my own word. Hoe she answers cynics who say she wouldn't have gotten a book of poems published if she hadn't been a pop star: " I'd say they're right. ...If my album wouldn't have been as successful as it was, there would've been very little interest in my poetry book anyway. Poetry deserves a greater voice; it also deserves a greater voice than mine. If I can bring a lot of awareness to poetry ~ not only to my poetry but just poetry in general ~ I'd be honored. **************************************************************************** ***************** Krystal the angel with gossmaer wings ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V3 #351 ***************************
