It's not really making fun of Jewel, but the guy who wrote the story about her in Rolling Stone. http://www.impressionmag.com/profile.html ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Dec 1998 23:16:20 -0800 (PST) From: Shaun Vaughan Subject: 3 questions (please read) I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of acoustic guitar Jewel plays, what brand strings she uses and if she uses nylon or metal strings. The bridge of my Yahama broke and its unrepairable :o( I know Jewel's guitars always sound great and I'm looking into buying a new one. So can anyone help me? Thanks, Shaun(DeepWaterAngel) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1998 01:34:21 EST From: RussRive@aol.com Subject: comments by the vets and old fogeys I am not someone in the know or as experienced on this list as guys like Mike, Alan, and Dennis (Damn you Harris Brothers) (I've had the pleasure of meeting the last two on multiple occasions, and Mike, did you walk today?). I've disagreed with Alan's changing role on the list, I've wondered and disagreed about other problems here. However, I think the recent discussion that has intended to return the list to its roots is well aimed. We all can be "better" people. We can look at the big picture instead of being overly narrow and focused. I think that's the point that Dennis is primarily making. Some of us have become quite narrow and are not looking at the bigger picture that we're here for. Remember what the members of this list have done for each other as well as for others outside the list. Don't know? Don't remember? There are people here who are willing to help you. We want to help you. Go visit Mike's page for Newbies. Go visit the EDA yearbook and see us all (www.endor.org/jewel), go to CrashBoy's EDA page and look at the gatherings and all the good times we've had (http://thespis.com/crashboy). We're about that primarily. Sure, we discuss music and talk about Jewel happenings; in name, that's what we're about, but in reality we're about helping each other and the outside world. I'm going to shut up for awhile. Russell Rebel without a clue PS--Anyone want to have a random NYC gathering during that week before New Year's? (ie Dec 26-Dec 30, anytime) It's been awhile since we all just hung out and had fun and stuff. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1998 03:03:30 EST From: Harrisbros@aol.com Subject: How Do I Get Invited to the Jewel Bash? ;-) Woooow -- a "Jewel Bash"! * allll-riiight * I saw all the posts about the "Jewel Bash" last week, and thought I had missed it... but people are still posting about it, so I guess it's still on. Is dress casual or formal? Will there be punch, cake and those little cheese sandwiches served? Will we play POY, Spirit or that forgotten Bearsville material? Is Jewel invited? Am I invited? If Jewel and I are both invited, can I bring her as my guest? (If I do bring her as my guest, you guys aren't going to get all glassy-eyed and goofy, or throw up or do anything stupid, are you? Yeah, of course you will...) One suggestion -- to keep Jewel's wardrobe from upsetting anyone, let's make it a toga party! * TOGA TOGA TOGA * :-) Add halos and we'll really look like angels! To avoid anyone getting upset at what Jewel may or may not say, let's also wear mime face makeup so we have an excuse not to talk. Picture a hundred EDA mimes wearing sheets and halos, all trying to get outta the same imaginary box with Jewel! Quite the mental picture, eh? Mental, indeed. * sigh * That's what I love about this group -- you throw 'em a little adversity, and they wanna throw a party! God bless you all... Dennis "The Party Ain't Over 'Til the Blond Lady Sings" Harris Seriously, please laugh this off and move on to more interesting topics. Here's a open question for discussion that might interest those with Jewel AngelFood tapes, and will certainly prove valuable to those who want to know what AngelFood to get their hands on first: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ANGELFOOD COMPILATION TAPE AND/OR INDIVIDUAL SONG(S) NOT COMMERCIALLY RELEASED ON POY OR SPIRIT? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1998 04:08:59 EST From: JewelBlues@aol.com Subject: Re: jewel-digest V3 #704 Hello---I MISSED taping JEWEL on LETTERMAN, the XMAS NBC TV SPECIAL, and the CNN news clip over the past two weeks off TV--I did tape JAY LENO and TOM SNYDER (masters) Can someone please write me who taped these things imissed off the air---and I will email you a list of my tapes for trade from 1995 to NOW....--almost all off the air or near EXX-----if she was on any other shows in the last month I may not have them also...JEWELBLUES@aol P.S. Also, anyone in ITALY or EUROPE who has VIDEO of JEWEL on TV/concert EMAIL ME please for trades --have many tapes in US ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1998 04:42:08 EST From: lennon25@juno.com (Steven C Rogers) Subject: New Angel here! First of all, I just wanted to say hello everyone! I'm a new member here and I just wanted to say that it looks like there is a problem at the moment. I looks like someone voiced their own opinion and got slammed for it. I've only been on this list one day and I can see something is wrong here. I'm not a huge jewel fan and I haven't seen her perform live. I just one day listened to her first album and it turned on something inside me that's never been on before. No real way of explaining it. To me she just wrote a very honest album and sang what she felt. I don't think she's trying to change the world because that is impossible. I don't think she is trying to help everyone find themselves or whatever. She just made an album for the same reason every band makes an album. To make a shout at the world. And tell the world what she thinks. When I hear her sing on her album she sounds as though she has a lot of anger behind her voice. Probably my imagination. But as a new "Angel", I hope this list is going to get better! I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!! Jesus is the reason for the season! Steven Rogers Matt. 11:28-30 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1998 02:55:31 PST From: "Khoi C" Subject: Rolling Stone Hey everyone, can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of Rolling Stone with Jewel on the cover (US version) in Australia. I'm dying to read that interview that everyone says is so brilliant! And one more thing, is it just me, or does anyone else think that Jewel has just got the most adorable giggle/laugh ever?! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1998 01:30:22 EST From: MLewisFL@aol.com Subject: Friday's Orlando Radio Chat Transcript Well, I finally finished typing this out...Now I appreciate all of the other transcripts you guys have typed. It's from last Friday's interview on Orlando's SHE 100.3. I was pleased that the show did a pretty good job and actually asked some decent questions, and didn't embarrass us Orlando EDAs. :-) Sue wasn't a big fan, and it was her mission to bring up Jewel's tooth, while Rocky's goal was to get her to light his Elvis. Read on. 12-11-98 Rocky and Sue Morning Show R=Rocky S=Sue J=If you don't know who this is, I can't help you. :-) R: This should be Jewel right over here. S: Wonderful. Good Morning, Jewel. Thank you so much for being on with us. J: My pleasure. R: How ya feelin'? J: I'm pretty good--I'm a little tired. R: Yeah? J: Yeah. S: Did you perform....recently? J: I did the Tom Synder show. S: Oh, really? J: Yeah. S: Oh, that's nice. R: Did you hafta, like, continually wake Tom up? J: (giggles) No, he's actually quite perky. S: He saves all of his energy for the show. J: (giggles) S: Hey--I just was reading in an article the other day--it said after you finish most of your performances, your favorite thing to do is go home and get in your PJ's. J: Yeah, I'm kind of a homebody that way. And I work a lot during the day and if I can get 5 hours of sleep, I'm pretty happy too. S: Yeah, that's pretty good...It's very comforting, isn't it? J: It is. S: I like that. R: And it paints a real pretty picture for myself and our producer, She-man Rhimes(?). (Cheering in background) J: (kidding tone) However the other way around is frightening many small children. (Laughter) S: Yes, Really. R: Yesterday, we had people call in with questions--"Ask Jewel a Question", and, uh....let me go down the list here...Oh, you know what? J: What? R: What kind of surfboard do you use? J: Uh, I use a long board...'bout a 9'3". R: Are you a "Goofy Foot"? J: I am Goofyfoot. (Laughter) R: I have no idea what I'm talking about, but a listener asked me to ask you that. J: OK. S: This would be a guy from CA, who is a surfer himself, and he said ask her if she's a goofyfoot...We have no idea--Is it a position that you stand on the board? J: It's just which foot goes forward. Most people put their left foot forward, (indiscernible) backside, so I'm goofyfoot. R: Oh, OK. S: You have had...quite an amazing life, have you not? J: Mmm Hmm. S: I mean, now you're a household name in America...Your performances, from what I understand, go way back to when you were 6 years old. J: Yep. S: 6 years old on the stage? I mean, is that something you wanted to do or were you kinda pushed into it by family, or, from what I understand, there's definitely entertainers in your family... J: It was just natural. My whole family was musicians and performers, actors, and thespians, you know. Natural thing to do. S: Wow. R: What was your best, and what was your worst performance ever? Like, worst gig? Best and worst gig? J: I think some best gigs were with Bob Dylan. That was great. And worst gig, I think, when I was 14, I was playing for, like, 3 in a veterans' bar, you know? (laughter) S: Oh, gee. R: In a veteran's bar? Like a VFW thing? J: It was about 4 in the afternoon when the gig started, and we had a five- hour gig to do, and nobody was listening, and I was kinda pouting on stage. My dad was like, "Stop pouting, you're professional, and you have to be 'on'", and I was like "No one's listening anyway!", and this guy came up to me drunk and he goes, "Stop (indiscernible)". (laughter) R: Wow, if you can survive that, you play go anywhere. S: And she remembers it still, so it wasn't a good moment. I'm wondering if you could say hello to little 7 year-old Logan--she's a She 100.3 listener, and a big, big Jewel fan. Her mom says that she looks like you... J: Awwww.... S: ...and she dresses like you... J: Awwww.... S: ...and she puts your cassette in her little Fisher Price recorder, and she sings! J: (tee hee) S: And if you could say hi to her, she would be thrilled--her name's Logan. J: OK. Hi, this is Jewel saying hi to Logan (tee hee). R: AWWWWW.... S: Mom is so exci--The phone's ringing right now--she wants a copy! That's nice, thank you. R: Hey, who do you listen to when your out on the road? J: You know, I don't travel with a CD Player or a...anything. I'm kinda lazy about that. I guess people are kinda readers or they're listeners--I'm a reader. R: OK. Well, I hope you're a listener right now, 'cuz we're gonna play one of your songs. We'll be back with more Jewel. (Who Will Save Your Soul) R: Feels kinda weird playing somebody's music when they're right here with us. S: So, Jewel, are you a Radio listener? J: Gosh. (embarrassingly) To Country Radio! S: Ah! J: (apologetically) I know. S: Which leads us to another question, a listener called in and said, "I think I heard Jewel say she was going to do some country songs." J: I write a lot of country music...at my live shows, I play them. I'm not sure when my country album will come out, but it's something I really hope to be able to do. S: And when you say "country", what kind of country do you mean? 'Cause country is so... J: Diversified. S: It is. It really is. J: I write a lot of traditional country, like traditional kind of standard ballads, but I write a lot of new country, too, so... S: Mmmm Hmmm... J: All fun. S: Someone also wondered, would you be covering anyone else's songs? Or is that not something you really care to do? J: I never really thought about it. Yet. If I fell in love with something, maybe. I'd rather write 'em. R: Hey, tell us about the movie you're gonna be in, "Ride with the Devil". J: (yawns) Oh, excuse me, I'm yawning. (laughter) J: It's an Ang Lee film. S: We have that effect on people. J: (laughs) R: (laughing) When we get to one of *my* questions, Jewel decides to yawn. J: It's nothing personal. (sarcastic) Actually, it was totally personal. S: (joking) Just because you asked. R: I should have never asked a movie question. Go ahead. J: No, the movie is directed by Ang Lee, who did "Sense and Sensibility", and "The Ice Storm". And, I play a 19 year-old Civil War chickee. R: And is it something you *wanted* to do, or did they approach you, or... J: People forced me into it, actually. R: Really? J: (joking) Yeah. I had no interest, and they forced me in. It was terrible. No, it was really interesting doing it and having so much change and...I'm being very sarcastic, aren't I? R: (sarcastic also) I'm glad you have so much control over your career. That's great, it's good to hear. (laughter) R: Is there any certain place you get most of your inspiration, like when you're driving, when you're showering, when you're--you know-- rolling around in bed? J: My word. (laughter) S: In your PJ's! R: Yeah, in your PJ's! J: Umm...not particularly. Just anything. Writing to me--it just comes really naturally, luckily. As long as I have a minute, I can do it. S: Now that you're a famous singer, is there anything about yourself, either physically or emotionally, that you'd like to change? J: I think that there's always things people are wanting to work on in themselves. Fame is like a magnifying glass. Before you get famous, if you have insecurities, fears and neuroses, when you get famous, they get worse. (indiscernible) concentrate to be more disciplined so you don't turn into a big brat. But that's not a bad thing either--it makes you work on yourself. S: When are we going to see you in Orlando? J: I'm touring the States in the Spring/Summerish. So around then. S: Next year. J: Yeah. S: Do drop by. J: (in a voice) I shall, darling. R: Hey, it must have been quite an honor for you a coupla weeks ago for the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. J: Big Honor. R: Uh huh. I wonder if you could do something for us right now. S: Oh no... R: See, we have our own little tradition that we're starting here right now, we're a brand new morning show...We've been on the air for like 3 months. J: Uh huh? R: We thought we'd do something to traditionally start the holidays here in Central Florida every year. We have a life-size bust of Elvis, trimmed for the holidays, and maybe if you could help us count down... J: Now, wait. "Trimmed for the Holidays". Didn't Elvis always get "un-trim" for the holidays? Kinda let the belly grow or something. R: It's only the bust, it's only the head of Elvis. J: Oh, OK. J: Well, his cheeks could be a little jolly. R: We've got lights on him, he has balls hanging from his ears, and there's Twinkies all around his neck. J: That....sounds like Elvis. R: Can we do a countdown, and you can help us, as we do the first ever lighting of Elvis on the She morning show? J: It would be a...great honor. Yes. S: I've got the plug. R: Here we go. J: 3. J: 2. J: 1. J: Contact. (cheering) R: Thank you so much, Jewel. J: You're very welcome. S: We understand you're going to be doing a Christmas Eve concert at the Vatican? J: (excited) Yes. S: Wow. J: For (we?) Pope. S: Geez. You've come a long way, Jewel. J: You know, from Coffee Shops to Popedom... S: Wow. J: Don't know how that happened. R: How do ya top the Pope? J: Boy...uh, Elvis is kind of up there huh? (laughter) R: OK. A close second was the lighting of the Elvis on the She morning show. S: I'm so glad we could be part in that. R: Thank you so much for your time this morning and enjoy the Holiday. It's Jewel, ladies and gentlemen on She 100.3! (Clapping) S: Thank you for lighting our Elvis. J: (tee hee) My pleasure. S: That was very nice of you, and it was a pleasure talking with you. J: Thank you. R: Thanks, Jewel! S: Merry Christmas. J: Bye. (Hangs Up) R: I gotta go take a cold shower. Are you in love, Ron? Ron: What a pa-too-tee. R: Nice lady. S: Do you know, her voice is as pretty when she speaks as when she sings. R: And just look at how pretty Elvis is too. S: She's a very good sport to do that...I was kinda holding my breath, you know, hoped she wouldn't be offended by it, and she wasn't. She was cool. R: We didn't get into the tooth thing though. S: No. No. R: She was too nice. She was too nice! S: Alright. I gotta be honest with ya: forget about that tooth, I don't care about that tooth anymore. Ron: The tooth, and the big thighs, you don't care about either one anymore? S: I take it all back...I was wrong...she's a wonderful person. ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V3 #705 ***************************
