Did anyone tape the Steve Poltz set, that could dub it for me or something ? PWEASE HELP ! Zac . List Moderator Note: newer subscribers to this list may not realize this, but Steve Poltz is an integral part of Jewel music, both creatively and in performance. He took Jewel under his wing when she was just starting, has co-written many of her songs (including You Were Meant For Me) and has toured with her both as an opening act and a member of her band. Posts about Steve, while in most cases are NJC (No Jewel Content), from this point on will be allowed, as long as they are about his music and/or his professional relationship with Jewel, and as long as it does not get out of hand. - Mike ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Dec 1999 22:49:52 -0800 (PST) From: Sarah Rucker Subject: * yahoo polls! and shout out from kickin' angel! hey ya'll! i was just glancing over the newspaper from memphis today and in it, it had the results for this Yahoo! poll and it said that the most looked up performer was jewel!!!! how cool is that? the most looked up female was britney spears, though. ew. anyway, personal opinion! but i was proud that jewel was more looked up on the internet (at least yahoo, anyway) than any other performer! well, that's it, merry christmas gang, i love you all! if you want to im me: DeloresJK is my aol name and my icq # is 29017334 but i am not on much until i get back to good ole mississippi state in january. i love christmas break! okay, i'm done! take care ya'll! love, sarah "the kickin' angel" ps. by the way, anybody from atlanta or that general area??? or better yet, anyone know anything cool to do IN atlanta because that's where i'll be stuck for new years considering mississippi state got ripped off and stuck in the peach bowl and i play drums in the band.

Would those of you who want to quote Steve Poltz's version of 'You were meant for me' in which he takes the Lord's name in vain PLEASE block it out, or stop quoting it altogether? By now I think everyone of us know the lyrics, and to those of you that aren't offended by it, that's fine, but I know at least one EDA that is(Hi!). I saw Jewel in Birmingham last August, and that night was the first time I had ever heard of Steve Poltz, but thought he was hilarious, except for 'his' version of YWMFM, and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed that Jewel condones such language, I'm a Christian, and by NO means a studious one, but such language is offensive to me. Please it's simply a matter of common courtesy, just asking my fellow EDAs to do me the tiniest of favors, opening an email on Christmas morning and seeing an EDA quote Steve Poltz taking the Lord's name in vain kinda makes you wonder if this is something you want to be associated with.... On that note.....MERRY CHRISTMAS! ;) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Dec 1999 02:39:04 PST From: "iris chen" Subject: * angelfood site update dear angels, hi! i've just updated my angelfood site with some new additions like 2 concerts from Japan [thanks, lisa!] and more jewel and steve cds [thanks, jen!]. but as always, it's still a work in progress. for those who are interested, it's at www.geocities.com/Paris/Bistro/7545/jewel.html merry x'mas, everyone:-) iris ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Dec 1999 11:04:55 EST From: ABershaw@aol.com Subject: * MrBB-From JEWEL to The EDAs Hi all, In case you are wondering, Jewel is spending Christmas with her boyfriend & his family. In response to your wonderful EDA/HGH project & card, late last night Jewel sent this message to me & asked that I forward it to all of you today. So here it is. :-) Happy Holidays! Alan - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - --------- Dear EDAs, Well, its been quite a year. I’ve been tired and had to ask myself why I’m traveling and scattering my youth between road houses and airports and smoky venues. Singing has always made it worth while. Getting up on stage and singing for people made me feel like I’m useful in the world. But this year has been challenging, as the importance of record sales and hits and radio play and videos and popularity and chart positions have seemingly begun to eclipse and prevent any good which may reverberate from me, from making it back to my attention. As I become more famous, the more removed I am from feeling every move and twitch of the people I sing for. If I am not making a difference, I have no desire to continue at the pace I have. Why would I? I have enough money to retire. Why would I put up with fame? The point of life is not record sales. It is not what will make me feel proud of myself when I look back on my life. What makes me proud is knowing that there are people I touch that do not depend on me for anything other than inspiration, people who do not become crippled by my celebrity, but enabled. I am reminded of when I was 18; I went to Alaska and stood on the beach. I looked across the gray water and mountains and asked if I really wanted to sign to a record deal, to leave Alaska, to travel, to take on the uncertainties of potential fame. I decided I did because I had felt alone in my life, and knew acutely how others felt alone. I had seen the effect music had on people in my shows, and felt I had received a gift every time I sang for people. It was a gift that healed me with every note, and magically seemed to heal others in ways only they knew. It has been scary to see me referred to in the press as a pop icon. If all people get from me is the perpetuation of mini-skirts and bubble gum, I’d rather go home. Your letters help remind me that you all get the meaning of music, whether mine or someone else’s, more than the critics who write articles on music. Knowing I touch your lives and that in turn you reach out and touch others, effects the deepest part of me, and inspires me in return to continue. It is a reciprocity I feel with all of you. We are all inexorably bound, and I am never detached from the same fabric we are all woven into, even if at times I feel like I am. No heart is exempt from feeling the longing, hope, heroism, fear, anger, and tremendous unspoken joy of the heart of every man and woman. Thank you all for being willing to realize your place in this, and not tuning it out. I know the burden of feeling can be so overwhelming it can make you wish you did not feel at all. I know it can paralyze you. You are all heroic in my eyes for choosing to let it inspire you instead, and to reach out and make a difference. As you know, it really matters. Happy holidays and thank you for helping bring the spirit of the season home to my heart and many others.

Well, as you can tell by the subject, we're finally getting Jewel's Sessions performance in this neck of the woods. It was on the Vermont PBS station last night, and is being repeated again tonight, the 25th, at 11:30 pm local time. That station is picked up in Montreal, and as well in northern New York state, I believe. The other local PBS station which is in northern New York has a listing tonight for Sessions at 10:30 local time, but gives no details as to which episode it is, but given the date, it might well be the Jewel performance also. Enjoy the show if you catch it, and enjoy the season everyone.
