The EveryDay Angels Foundation encourages all Jewel fans and edas to each bring a few items to donate at participating shows. At the HOUSTON show, several EDAF members will be helping to collect items at the show. Be sure to drop by to donate your food and meet your fellow edas! If anyone is interested in helping to collect food at the show then please contact Dennis, Amy or Luna at the EDA gathering at NORTHSHORE Park before the show. Quick reminders: 1. If you are going to the gathering, please contact derrick at dkaracos@utmb.edu to let him know what you are bringing. 2. We are meeting at NORTHSHORE park at 1 pm. See derrick's previous post for directions or contact him. 3. We will meet up at the NORTH gate of the pavillion at seven o'clock! 4. Afterwards we will go eat somewhere. 5. Bring LUNA and AMY cookies! 6. Wear your hat and boots to rope woody, the plywood cow! Luna =) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Jul 1999 18:09:44 -0700 From: "Rizioule" Subject: * Re: Police Want Steve? I saw Steve giving beer to that little girl in Irvine and I must say I found it quite innapropriate. ( along with the free cigarrettes they were passing out) I did not know that he pulled the same stunt in S.D. as well. I cannot figure out what he could possibly be trying to convey through these actions. Or why Jewel would allow this at her shows. As far as him being drunk at the concerts, I do not know if this is true or not, but if it is true, I fear that the end of Steves tour with Jewel is close at hand. The 70's and 80's saw many bands that built their image out of being drunks and drug addicts. ( Lynard Skynard, Molly Hatchet, Motley Crew, Guns and Roses, the list goes on) While this Image may appeal to bikers and rebel flag waving white trash, I hardly think that it has any place in Jewels personal life or her professional career. I am constantly convinced that when good is afoot, evil is close at hand trying to undo everything . This was most recently demonstrated to me while planning the New Orleans Gathering of Angels. It became clear that I would have to cancel the show due to lack of finances, and who came out of the woodwork to save the day ? The cigarette companies ! They discussed with me heafty sums for advertising. All I had to do was add their name to my advertising. I could literally see them licking their tobbacco stained lips in anticipation of getting to all of Jewels fans through my shows. I must admit that I was tempted to take the easy way out and accept their money. I thought of all kinds of ways I could use their own advertising dollars to make fools of them, Like bring my ( and Jewels) friend, Sammy from Java Joes along as a mascot. Sammy recently had most of his throat removed because of cigarettes and now has to breath through a hole in his neck. Boy that would have been a slap in their face eh ? ( You play with Rizzy and you're playing with fire baby : ) Anyway, I thought of you guys and how cute and sweet you are, and I just couldn't do it. Thats the real reason there is no Gathering of Angels Concert in New Orleans this week. Jason Mraz and myself are in basically the same position Jewel was in 6 years ago, broke, and basically homeless if you consider that we are thousands of miles from home and living with generous friends. Now if I can cancel my show to avoid doing what I think is wrong, Why dosen't Jewel remove these negative elements from her shows ? The whole set up at Irvine provides many clues. It appears to me that Jewel has lost control of her own shows. Now before you guys say, "No Way, Jewel is in command," let me let you in on a few facts. The people who promote these shows are very experienced at what they do. They were picking the brown M&Ms out of Led Zeppelins candy bowls before Jewel was born. They have, along the way, learned to kiss ass in a manner that is very benificial to their bottom lines. They are hard core, and they do not give a damn about you, me, God or Jewel. They care about money, and they will do anything to increase the gross of each booking. (Cigarettes were free, beer was $7 a cup, do you really think Jewel had anything to do with this? I don't think so.) Jewel may seem tough when she tells bothersome fans to F*** off, but in reality she is just a girl. Her and Nedra are probably the only ones in her camp that truly share her vision. Even the poeple in her direct employ are there out of mainly self interest. Concert promoters ( A historically shady bunch to begin with,sorry Bill S.) likely see her as an airhead dreamer that can sell tickets this month. Do you really think that after Jewels run on the top is over they will go around touting her philosopies ? No. These are the people that tell Jewel to F*** off . It is basically their way or the hi-way. If Jewel were to say, "Hey you can't give away cigarettes at my concert" they would say, " Shut up and do what you are told," Jewels only recourse would be to refuse the booking. Think about it . What other leverage does she have ? So, we are witnessing an artist, who's art is compromised by the very fact that she is successful. Let's just hope that somewhere in her cute little body, she finds the grit to stand up to these oppressors. No matter what the cost. As far as Steve is concerned, I hope that if he is having problems with alchohol addiction, (A very ugly thing indeed) he will somehow find his way back into the light. His giving beer to a little girl is a horrible message to all who witnessed it. Some of you have said, "It was just a joke " Yes, a joke born out of ignorance. What could he possibly be thinking. ( See what kind of crazy crap you think up when you are drunk ) It seems that everything he does is a joke, including his music. As soon as he gets back home he will probably kick my ass for saying so, but his music and his depth of thought are more suited to a beach bar than a Jewel concert. Jewel sings about God, Truth and things of the spirit. Steve sings about a cigarette burn on a chair and some baseball players gonads while giving beer to little kids. ( I don't care who's kid it was or if the bottles were empty, that does not make one bit of difference, it was wrong ) My prediction ? Jewel will soon give Steve the boot. Long friendship notwithstanding. She has probably lain awake many nights wondering how to do it tactfully. He is her friend, and from all the people I know, that know him, he is a nice guy. But he does not belong performing at Jewels concert. Perhaps if he spent a little time as a listener rather than a performer he would understand Jewels message more clearly and realize that through his irresponsible actions, he is undermining everything she stands for.

Well it was my first Jewel concert and it was absolutely awesome. I sat all the way down in third row on the right and had a really great seat. Not as great those people who had waited 3 hours before the doors opened to get the front row center seats...But I still had a wonderful time. I did want to record the concert last night but ended up remembering while I pulled into the parking lot that I had forgotten my recording stuff. I had my tape and everything but no means of recording it. :( so If anyone has any agel food of last night I would really love to have it. I'm not really sure of the setlist though as I had nothing to write with. I tried to get backstage after the show but of course I had no backstage pass and they didn't let me in...Oh well I would love to hear everyone elses expieriences of last night...
