What "myth" is she tired >of??? I think this is an example of how the english language can do silly things, often to the point of contradicting itself... I think the writer is using "myth" in the context of a story that is told over and over again rather than a story that is made up... ...and it's hardly surprising she's tired of it - how many Jewel interviews have you seen where she *doesn't* get asked about living out of her van??? :-) Kim Lees Your New Zealand Angel Standing By ICQ# 9270797 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ check out Kim's JEWEL Shrine... http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Stadium/7485/jewel.html includes a Real Audio section of over 100 songs - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Five years worth of kisses are packed in your bags In this tiny moment fits all the big things we never had And I can't quite pinpoint when it left or what for Love always steps lightly away from the door" Jewel Kilcher - "Studies In Love #12" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Dec 1998 22:38:36 EST From: GladDragon@aol.com Subject: Re: Top 3 Likes Of Disney Jewel Chat (& 1 Dislike) >>Dislike - The stupid questions & the fact that I literally sent in 30 questions, all really good, and none of them got answered..Some people got 5 of their questions answered! That really set me off!<< >>1. How Jewel didn't get as pissed as I did at the stupid questions..<< I think one of the key things we have to remember is that being EDAs we have access to, and know more about Jewel than the average person, not to mention the average Disney viewer. I know it can be frustrating when most of the questions that get answered are things we've heard again and again, but it's new to those who don't know it. Always remember that there are those that only have the grasp of a shred of what Jewel stands for and believes. Look at as a growing and learning experience for new fans. We can't expect every interview or chat to have something we haven't heard before, but hopefuly they'll come away from those chats and various other interviews with a new outlook on who Jewel is. Let them see that she is more than a voice, more than a pretty singer, let them see her as the inspiration(not idol) that she is. Afterall, we didn't always know what we knew. I agree that reading something new would be nice, but I'm willing to wade through the same old info to get to it. - -Brian Newbie Angel Once Upon aTime... P.S. I don't intend this as a flame. It's just an observation.

I'm not >saying that everyone has to like Jewel or her music, but to write such a nasty >review is really beyond me. >A really upset EDA, >Kat Hi Kat, we'll talk "nip" later. Now, on to the subject at hand. Grrrrrowwwwwl. That's for the critics. Polarity of anything is usually in extremes. Jewel seems to have the ability to "polarize" many peoples emotions and thoughts. Thankfully this has almost always been in a positive, creative manner. Perhaps the key here is not so much the polarity but rather the intensity. Jewel is, hmmm, how do I say this? How about if I use her own words. "A blonde Hurricane" But it's not just the force of her winds, which blow straight through our souls. It's the "Lightning that she brings to our hearts" It is the lightning of her own passion for others, for love, for life itself. It is this lightning that jump starts all those hearts out there that beat so slowly and sometimes not at all. A critics cold heart beats fast with her lightning. She touches them. An EDA's heart beats faster, seared with passion, with lightning. She touches them. No one escape her lightning, no one hears her voice and remains untouched. That is her power. That is her gift. That she uses such awesome talent to brighten the lives of others merely reafirms what we've all known, all along. That at the heart and very center of this very special lady burns a very bright Jewel indeed. It sparkles and we are touched with lightning. It glows and we are touched with it's warmth. Her heart sings out and touches the deepest, most sensitive portions of our beings. Her heart touches ours. And in the case of people like critics, even the ones who did not want to be touched. She's such a Jewel. "The more I live, the more I know, what's simple is true,....." "It's waiting for lightning, it's waiting for you" "Swallow the Moon,...be still my little heart."

I'm going to go down to Payson and take a picture of the sign and put it up on my web site when I can grab my dads digital camera so that should be neat :) Also Jewel is going to be on Tom Snyder Show on Dec 9 11-12:00 AM MST, keep praying Angel BB ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Dec 1998 23:12:42 EST From: CITNAMOR@aol.com Subject: How can I get a Jewel Catalogue?? Hey guys! I would love to get a Jewel catalogue but don't know how to get one. I know you can order one on the internet, but unfortunately, I can't access the internet...so if someone knows how I can get one regardless, or is willing to help me, please e-mail me!! ThAnKs!! Jeff~The Romantic Angel Without A Catalogue =( ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Dec 1998 22:38:41 EST From: NiKoS12@aol.com Subject: Bad Spirit Reviews/ and CNN thingy Ok first off, I know some of those rigid Spirit reviews may be disheartening, but the way I look at it, if everybody liked her as much as we, than how special would she be? Nevermind, that makes no sense. But I found a qoute that really fits this situation. Bill Cosby said, "I don't know the key to success, but I know the key to failure is trying to please everyone." I was watching the Billboard Awards when i heard "LEE! LEE!!!! Channel 22 NOW!!!!!!," being yelled from my dad's mouth. I turned it and sure enough. There was Jewel, all dolled up. She looked nice. They talked a little bit about her being sued by Inga, but Jewel said that she really hasn't gotten very much information on the suit. They showed WWSYS clips, and a lot of Hands clips. They also showed a clip of her singing Life Uncommon at that AIDS benifet thingy. It was a nice ending to a bitter sweet day. Anyone think they'll replay that little segement. It's defianetly not that old clip, b/c this one talked about the suit, and her b/c of that clip of that AIDS benifet thing.

There are those, like the author of the UNCUT review that Chris Groves posted, who label the new recording a "classic". That review (from the UK) contained a number of insightful passages. I liked the reviewer's observation that: "I have spent weeks attempting to work out why this album is so special. I still don't really know. Yet somehow Jewel seems to possess an extraordinary serenity and understanding of our place in the greater scheme of things, a philosophical acceptance that we inhabit a tiny crack of consciousness in an infinite universe of unknowing with only a flickering moment out of countless eternity to make our presence count. And we had better not waste it, she seems to say." People like the UNCUT reviewer, and ones at mylaunch and elsewhere have their hearts and ears open. Some of the nasty, cynical, writers who are taking an opposite position make me think of the Grinch (like, Dr. Seuss, eh?) -- folks who just don't like the idea of others having fun or sharing in the joys of the season; in the end, though, the Grinch learned something about life and goodwill; I'd like to think that these people who choose to be unkind will, too -- someday :) peace everyone, and season's greetings Adrian ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V3 #687 ***************************
