[Jesse A McDonald ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1998 13:39:14 EDT From: Hersheys98@aol.com Subject: Jewel/FANatic, Update From Sarah Hello again you guys. I decided to write you guys flat out. I felt silly lurking around (since the EDAs seem like family and all) but being on AOL my mail box can barely handle the regular list mail so I figured posting through Mr. BB would be the best. I am sorry it has taken me so long to answer more of your questions concerning FANatic, but I was out of town for a little while. Anyway let me start by saying thank you sooo much to all the positive comments that you guys shared with me. I was really nervous about you guys seeing the interview because I care a lot about what you all think. You guys are like family and I really wanted you guys to enjoy the show. It is really nerve racking to watch yourself on TV I realized. I was nit picking everything I did - I mean come on could I put my hair behind my ear anymore? Or how many times was I gonna give that goofy "I am totally in awe" smile? Anyway - it really made me feel good that you guys were so supportive. It made the whole experience wonderful - Thank you all. Ok now on to the questions I have been reading from you guys and a few other side notes ~ 1) sesykes@juno.com (Scott E Sykes) So what was Jewel like in person? Anything they didn't show that you wish they would have? Jewel was amazing in person. She was very laid back and down to earth. I was really impressed at how "normal" she was. Let me explain that last comment: with all of the pressures of stardom and all of the fame she has recently been introduced to it seems that it would be easy to lose yourself in it all. Jewel seemed to still have her feet planted firmly on the ground. This made the whole experience less nerve racking for me cuz with her friendly nature she put me at ease immediately. There were a lot of things MTV didn't show about the interview, but I will get into that in a minute. 2) dkaracos@utmb.edu (Karacostas, Derrick W.) This is for all those who have had doubts (past or present) about Jewel's attitude, the way she carries herself. I have 3 words for all you people....JUST ASK SARAH!!! Who would know better? She just spent an hour one on one with Jewel. Your doubts will soon be erased....I hope. As I just said she was a total doll. I didn't think it was possible to be any more inspired by her, but after the interview there were so many things that were brought alive inside me just from being around her. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and mine is that she is a great person and wonderful artist! :o ) 3)dkaracos@utmb.edu (Karacostas, Derrick W.) And why did Jewel call us EDA's freaks? Did you catch that Alan and Mike? She seemed weirded out by us all. I didn't get that part. Ok let me explain - MTV cut out a big part in there. When she was talking about being scared of the whole fan thing she meant when she first was beginning to attract bigger crowds. She felt uncomfortable because of all the attention. She said something to the effect that she is just human like everyone else. She then went on to say how cool everything has been that the EDAs have done. She mentioned the birthday wishes as being very cool and that it really makes her feel good that we take the inspiration we get from her and help others with it. The way MTV cut the question it sounded like she wasn't very grateful for the EDAs, but in reality she said sooooo many sweet things about us. :o ) 4) casper31@juno.com (Adina F) Does anyone who knows Sarah or Sarah if youre reading this, know if she got an uncut version of the show for herself to keep? It really would have been nice to see the whole interview. I don't think I will be getting an uncut version. The producer that went with me told me that they aren't supposed to do that, but the camera guy winked at me right then and told me not to worry. I really hope they do cuz something happen with my friend's camera and NONE of my pictures came out of Jewel and me :o ( If I do get anything that I am allowed to reproduce I will let you guys know and maybe we can set up something so anyone who wants a copy can have it. I would be more than willing to do that :o ) 5) kristenluv@hotmail.com (* Jewel *) Okay ya know when sarah was showing her Jewel posters in her room on FANatic? Well, she had this HUGE one of the ANWA picture. Does anyone know where I can get that??? I know! :o ) Actually My friend made it for me. She copied/enlarged it using pencil I believe. Well I just re-watched FANatic and I am trying to figure out what was said and what wasn't said. MTV did a pretty good job with hitting the strong points of my interview, but they did leave out some things that were interesting. I will just give you a brief play by play. First of all the interview was supposed to be done on horse back but because I was so nervous about the interview (I was faint and felt sick, go figure) the producer wouldn't let me ride. He was afraid I would feel worse. Anyway, after Jewel gave me a hug in the beginning we walked over to the chairs and basically just talked about the fiasco I had getting there. She was funny - making jokes about how MTV wisks me away for a fun filled trip of no sleep and endless plane rides. I told her that I wasn't complaining ;o ) She just giggled. When we sat down the first thing she did was throw her gum on the ground - it was really funny. I mean it was just like I was with one of my buds at home! The rest of the interview was pretty much as it came across with just a few things here and there cut out (except for the EDA question which was cut big time!). Jewel expanded on writing as being what she enjoys most by saying that it helps her with all aspects of her life. (I'm sorry I don't remember her exact words here). She got a little more specific with the most autobiographical songs being Nikos (as most of you could have guessed) and Don't. I asked her about what keeps her going and she said that her mother is an amazing source of strength in her life and that she keeps Jewel focused on what she loves. I also asked her who is the most influential artist in your life and she said that it is funny - people think that just because I am Jewel I can't like Marilyn Manson or something, but I guess I would have to say my father. It was really funny the way she said it. She went on to talk about bar singing with her father in Alaska ( no knew stories there though). After the interview we just chit chatted about being on TV and weird it can feel. We walked back up to her horse and she introduce me to the horse. We took some pictures and then we were separated to do more single interviews. I think that MTV did a pretty good job working with what they had. The interview looked choppy but really that was because they kept switching cameras and angles. When they cut something out they generally cut the whole question out. I didn't like how they kept repeating my shock when I saw Jewel - they could have put in some other funny moments - oh well! The one last question and then I promise I will end what turned out to be a novel: dkaracos@utmb.edu (Karacostas, Derrick W.) Sarah, where are you now??? How often do you post to the list? I've never seen a letter from you, aside from the one incorporated into Alan's letter. When did you join the list? Well I am from a suburb of Chicago, IL. I don't post very often to the list, but I read everything you guys write. I have written a lot of EDAs individually concerning different posts and projects. I haven't gotten to go to an EDA outing yet since there aren't many in the Midwest (also cuz I am only 18 and still live with my parents who aren't too keen on the idea of me meeting anyone off the internet). I joined the list the end of March in '97, 2 days after I saw Jewel at the Chicago Theater. That is the run down on me.

Thanks, cara ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jul 98 21:28:03 EDT From: Jeffrey Kokosinski Subject: strongest song To me the strongest song is Nicotene Love, hands down. It is a seally shady subject and all but the impending doom that she puts in the lyrics give me chills sometimes. The whole songs is basically, you idiot, you'll be dead before you know what hit you."

Yeah, Painters is excellent... I especially like what the strings do when she's singing the lines "Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil, and in her heart she knew something was wrong" That bit just stands out for me. ^_^ | Jesse Dangerously http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ad309 | subterranean seraph 16 Trust Everyone | ad309@chebucto.ns.ca Ekam Sat, Viprah Bahudha Vadanti | ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1998 00:50:42 -0300 (ADT) From: Jesse A McDonald Subject: Re: Silver Lining question > Who is John Kruk who "limped around" in the song "Silver Lining"? Steve explained that when he was performing here a little while back... he said something like "I needed a rhyme for luck and stuck, and I came up with the obvious one that jumps to mind - John Kruk!" He went on to say that Kruk was a baseball player who he'd always admired, because some accident had left him with only one testicle (and presumably, a limp) and he still played ball... and had a sense of humor about the whole thing, which was displayed when he would wear a shirt around that said "If you don't like the way I play, I'll just take my ball and leave" | Jesse Dangerously http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ad309 | subterranean seraph 16 Trust Everyone | ad309@chebucto.ns.ca Ekam Sat, Viprah Bahudha Vadanti | ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1998 01:02:14 -0300 (ADT) From: Jesse A McDonald Subject: Re: Hi!

Or are we the only > ones.. :) It seems to me as though the whole idea behind the term "everyday angels" is that everyone is an angel from God. Please don't deify Jewel, she's just a human being like the rest of us. Like ALL of us, there's no-one in the world who's any more or less divine or good than anyone else in the world. She's very insightful, but no more celestial than you or I. To beatify her might turn her brilliant words into fodder for some old-fashioned "hosanna/heysanna"-type scenario. And then when the scales fall... "they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong..." | Jesse Dangerously http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ad309 | subterranean seraph 16 Trust Everyone | ad309@chebucto.ns.ca Ekam Sat, Viprah Bahudha Vadanti | ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V3 #417 ***************************
