And anyway how can a movie like Batman & Robin inspire Jewel ? This is pretty standard fare for soundtracks, actually. In many cases, they don't include all that many songs in the movie (or don't like 'em) and have to find more to fill up the soundtrack. As for the inspired bit, well, I think they mean the movie people felt that FG fit well with the theme of the movie; perhaps the movie "inspired" them to chose that song. >Because I'm sorry guys but this movie really sucks.

If you've ever seen the Foolish Games video you will probably have noticed that Jewel has this iridescent pale blue/purplish kinda power or cream on her face and around her collar bone and shoulder area.. its very subtle and can only be seen when the light hits her skin making it kinda shimmer in subtle shades of blue... it has this really cool icy kinda look... anyway I really love the way that stuff looks and I take photography and would love to use it in a photo shoot so I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find something that resembles whatever product she used... I actually live in Australia so if there's any such product that exists in Australia that would be fantastic otherwise anyone overseas if you could give me a product name or something along those lines I would be very grateful!!! If anyone has no idea what I'm talking about I do have a picture of jewel from foolish games which i could email you to show you... bye all lots of love Chris the acoustic, painting angel just below the ceiling ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1999 19:11:50 +1000 From: "Christine Diefenbach" Subject: "Solo" book featuring Jewel Was just looking through Jeweljk and was wondering if anyone has bought or read the book Solo about female singers and songwriters that features Jewel among other artists such as Sheryl crow and Ani DiFranco.. if so is it good? interesting? insightful into the music biz and songwriting? Not just Jewel wise but in general.... cos it sounds interesting and I'd love to buy it but I wanna know what people think first.. see ya all Christine The acoustic, painting angel just below the ceiling ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1999 11:14:14 +0100 From: "Liam Mac" Subject: Cambridge UK 6 May 1999 Hi to all you Everday Angels worldwide! This is my very first post. I've been a fan of Jewel for well over a year, and just decided in a rush of blood that I just absolutely had to make the pilgrimage to go see her in Cambridge. The trouble is that I live about 200 miles away and I'm going all on my lonesome, so if there's any other English EDA's going to the Corn Exchange please get in touch 'coz I really want to meet more like-minded people. I have managed to get some friends at work into her music, but as always it had to be their choice. The last thing anyone needs is someone trying to force anything upon them. I mentioned that I love her music and my friends did all the asking. If only everything else in life were that succinct. Thanks for your time Liam 'In the end, only kindness matters' Jewel, Hands ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1999 22:57:24 +1200 From: "Kim Lees" Subject: NZ Woman's Day Article Hi Angels, here's a Jewel article I just found in the March 15th edition of Women's Day... it was published a few days before she arrived here so I guess it's pretty old now, but then I don't exactly make a habit of reading women's magazines - I was at my sister's place and she showed me it... :-) Jewel Personality Her name is Jewel, her new album's called Spirit, but the singer/songwriter is far from precious. "Everybody thinks of me as a Pollyanna hippie type who never loses her temper and is nice all the time, which is utter bullshit. I'm as moody as anybody," says the 24-year-old. "The way preople are always categorising me, it's like being back in school. I find it kind of laughable. Most of the hippie labels stem from Jewel's childhood in Alaska - tales of the family's log cabin and lack of running water have been used to paint a picture of a Swiss Family Robinson situation, but Jewel is far from laid-back about the love-child image. "Nobody has ever really understood about my upbringing," she says, happy to set the record straight. "People have a hard time understanding what living on the land is all about. They have some notion of my parents being barefoot hippies, when they were really just farmers from Europe. Just because of their simple lifestyle they are labelled as hippie freaks." But despite what she says, Jewel's Alaskan upbringing was a little odd. Rather than watching television, Jewel developed a penchant for yodelling, and the local fishermen would place bets on who would be the first to seduce the feisty young blonde. None managed to win the bet as her parents split up and she moved to San Diego with her mother. Sadly for Alpine music enthusiasts, Jewel's Spirit album doesn't contain any of her famous yodelling. What it does offer, however, are soul-searching lyrics and beautiful melodies, along with the odd quote from an ancient philosopher. But mention performers like Madonna and Alanis Morissette and the whole spiritual bandwagon, and Jewel bares her teeth to reveal her true spirit. "God, that's so insulting - to talk of my music as part of a phenomenon. It's an insult to me and an insult to all of us who have worked our arses off." After an apology Jewel calms down and continues. "My music is simply lyric-driven stuff. I don't think I'm very spiritual, all I do is try to be honest. You don't have to stand on one leg and lick your finger and hope to be struck by spirituality like lightning. It's just honesty. Not that you can accuse Jewel of wasting her time - two albums, endless concerts, a book of poetry, a leading role in the movie Ride With The Devil, charity work and a forthcoming book of short stories pack out her CV. Does she ever rest? "Last time I was in New Zealand I only managed to get to visit a vineyard," she says. "This time I have a couple of days off and I hope to go surfing." With so much going on, it's good to see Jewel still manages to get board once in a while.

(Jewel tix in Bakersfield) Hi, I'm an EDA in Bakersfield and I'm psyched that Jewel is coming to town. I was going to get to the ticket place at 6 a.m., even though the line doesn't start forming until 7 a.m. They also don't go on sell until 10 a.m. but I didn't care. HOWEVER...I just found out I had to go out of town to take a placement test for college that if I don't take, I won't get to go to college this year. It's not something I can compromise. So now I lost my chance to have the best seats I ever could have for a Jewel concert. So, is anyone in Bakersfield that had the same plans I did? I need someone to buy my ticket but only if they're going to do what I did (camp out). - -- Mark ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1999 19:09:36 +0200 From: "michiel" Subject: Jewel on MTV Fanatic Europe Hello Jewelfans, Finally MTV Europe is showing us some Jewel content on their screens. It's the show with Sarah from a while ago where Jewel is being asked a lot of questions. I think you should see this programme. I will see Jewel coming week in Belfast , i can't wait untill this happens of course and meet Steve and the rest. Greetings, Michiel Jewelfan in Holland http://members.xoom.com/Jewelimpala/index.html a dutch tribute to jewel . ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1999 19:37:19 +0200 From: "Roel Cobben" Subject: Jewel on MTV FANatic Europe (part 2) Hey EDAs, Michiel (one of my fellow Dutch Jewelfans :-)) just posted a message about the MTVs FANatic program. For people who can't see it (especially the American EDAs) or Angels who want to read the interview, here it is .... I think it's a pretty good interview so if you have chance to watch the program, just do it ... hehehehe ... Seeya, Roel, The Other Everyday Angel. MTVs FANatic MTV FANatic with Sarah interviewing Jewel Sarah: I’ve been reading your poetry a lot lately and I was wondering if your poetry was inspired by things you’ve gone in your own life or if it’s experiences things you see other people go through? Jewel: It’s both. I think a lot of them are very personal and specific to my life. (Foolish Games video plays) … and a lot of times are observations. Me in airports watching people, or things like where as in music often I write in first person. Like Daddy but it isn’t about me. Sarah: I heard you were dong a movie, Ride with the Devil, and I was wondering if you would like to tell us about the movie? Jewel: I’ve really wanted a changed. I was getting bored with music. Especially being on the same record for four or five years or however long it was. So I really wanted a new challenge and it was definitely a challenge and it was really hard and I chose a really hard dramatic role instead of a light and funny. Uh, so it was good. I’m ready to go back to music though. Sarah: Since you’ve been doing writing poetry, singing, and the acting, which one do you prefer? Jewel: I’m glad I’m a writer. Being able to express yourself is a very, very valuable tool. It helps me become a better person. Sarah: You’ve written many songs and I was wondering what song is your most auto-biographical song you’ve written to date? Jewel: they all are, in a way. You know what I mean? YWMFM video clip plays Sarah: I was reading your poetry book and I read this poem, Sara Said, and my name is Sarah and I read this poem first just because, I, uhm, at first was kinda at first taken back and I was reading that how a 15 year old girl couldn't say no to a guy and was going through all this turmoil. And I was adopted, my family. And I always kinda resembled her the way my biological parents. So when I read that I was kinda thinking that maybe it just wasn’t they gave me up, maybe it was just the fact there were problems, and there were things, you know , so I was being selfish, thinking, you know, “she just gave me up”. And it gave me a lot of piece of understanding that I should be more opened minded about things and I shouldn’t… Jewel: I know it’s hard as parents,. You always feel they should be like super humans. They’re dealing with your life. They can mess you up or they can create you. We’re so vulnerable to them. At the same time, like, God their humans. You know what I mean. It’s like you can’t help but feel like “Okay, I know how you feel” but it doesn’t make it right. I can understand it a lot better. Sarah: But I was wondering where you got your inspiration for that specific poem of yours? Jewel: When I was doing the book I was afraid about putting the really frank poems in, like Sara Said. I just decided like, what I love a kid was honest writing. Like Anais Nin or what like Burkowsky said, or whatever it was, I like what people are saying are real. I wrote that song about kids, just cause, there were lots of kids having sex, like at 12. And I was like (Jewel stunned) “12?” I was playing barbie dolls. (Sarah agrees by saying right, right). But at the same time, you know, I went to school where sex ed was really common. I’m sure you did too. They teach you how to put condoms on, the whole nine yards. But they didn’t teach me about like valuing myself. And I look at women, ones I grew up in bar rooms, I see a lot of women waitresses and see how women are so flattered for attention, for any attention, even if it’s a sweaty drunk attention. Where as I was taught at a very young age to value myself more, just as myself, not as a religious thing, not as anything but just as yourself, just be careful with yourself. BE careful who you give yourself to, romantically, physically, or even emotionally Sarah: I was wondering, so how do you write your songs? Do you sit down and write them or does it takes weeks and you come back to it? Jewel: You know I always wrote, like when I wrote Pieces of You, really accidentally. It was like a creative adventure. YWMFM clip plays again Jewel: I didn’t think I was a song writer. I wrote WWSYS at your age, when I was 16. And now that I’m touring all the time, picking up my guitar is harder. Sarah: Well you obviously know a lot about the Everyday Angels, the group on the internet. I was kinda wondering do you consider them more than just the fans? Jewel: I was really freaked out about the whole "fan thing ".I remember talking to my mom about it.....my moms my manager....I'm like--"I don't know about this...."--'cause I was never like that. But I get inspired by people, so I decided I'm going to try to inspire people & NOT have them idolize me. Sarah: You stared performing very young with your family. Do you have anytime that you remember great or sticking out? Jewel: I remember the first time I got up on stage, I would wear leader hoes and I had really long hair and it was braided, (laughing), I would get so nervous and would laugh in the middle or just get the hiccups. (yodels with hiccups) Sarah: So how did you career change over the time as a performer? Jewel: I think that if I hadn’t spent all those years bar singing with my dad, I didn’t think I could’ve toured solo like I did. You know opening up for those people, Peter Murphy, The Ramones, or Everclear in front of 20,000 kids, if I hadn’t had all those years singing experience. “You will listen and I will get you damn it!” You know? Sarah: Thank you, really for everything you’ve done for everybody. I mean, really, really it’s cool. You may have not realized it yet but you have really inspired so many people and make a difference, especially in my life. Jewel: No embarrassing the artist. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
