It's an intimate epic, contradictory in its ability to perfectly recreate a distant historical era with intense, sensual immediacy and populate it with characters who remain complexly human, even when their actions seem most situationally inhumane. Based on Daniel Woodrell's novel "Woe to Live On," the movie wins immediate points just by choosing to tell its story from the less traditionally defensible position of a group of Southern "bushwhackers"--civilian militia groups conducting their own little war against "the forces of Northern aggression", and ranging on bloody guerilla forays across the occupied area of the Kansas/Missouri border. Poor but proud second-generation German-American Jake Roedel (Tobey Maguire) chooses to side with his childhood friend, Jack Bull Chiles (Skeet Ulrich), after Jack Bull's slaveholder parents are burned from their hereditary plantation, even though -- as Jake's immigrant father reminds him -- most Southerners still consider "Dutchies" like Jake to be slightly less valuable than the "niggers" they want to keep on owning. But the struggle he soon finds himself engaged in is even less cut and dried than it initially appears--especially after Jake ends up spending the winter hiding out in a hole with Jack Bull, war widow Sue Lee (Jewel) and former slave Daniel Holt (Jeffrey Wright), who's paying off his debt to the "master" who freed him by acting as a scout for the same people he should logically be trying to take revenge on. Jake's tentative, beautifully unsentimental realization that he has more in common with Holt -- a fellow outsider -- than any of his white Southern compatriots is just one of Ride With the Devil's many hidden treasures...like Wright's angry, dignified reticence, or Jewel's unschooled but earthy performance as a woman just beginning to see that her husband's murder has liberated her from being seen as any living person's chattel, or Ulrich's instinctive dissection of one aristocratic Southern Romantic's deathwish. This film boils what we've been trained to consider a simple case of right vs. wrong right down to its tangled roots, leaving us in a place where neighbor kills lifelong neighbor over a difference of opinion and some lines on a map; where mercy becomes an insult, and even when you suspect you're on what will inevitably become the losing side, you keep on fighting anyway. Maybe, like Paul Verhoeven's blistering take on American consumer culture in Robocop, it takes a transplanted sensibility like Lee's to re-examine the underside of what's become almost as big a myth as Gone With the Wind's nostalgic longing for some distant, literally whitewashed vision of the Courtly South: the idea of the Civil War as a pre-World War Two "good fight", rather than the violent birthpangs of a true melting-pot democracy that STILL hasn't quite brought itself to term. Simply put, a gorgeous and enduring piece of work. shad 96c / 3B CS / mac activist / eda / fumbler fan of / jewel / sophie b. / sarah slean / steve poltz / emm gryner / / x-files / buffy / dawson's creek / habs / bills / 49ers / t h i n k d i f f e r e n t.

Okay, so to most of you out there this is probably old news, but can anybody please tell me what ever happened to the EDA Scrapbook - did Jewel end up getting it? Was it ever posted on a website anywhere? What's the go? Anyway, that's all, ciao for now Erin - the Bris Vegas Angel ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2000 09:42:45 EST From: Giggly1021@aol.com Subject: * Woe to Live On/Ride With the Devil book available at B&N I remember that when word first came out about the movie, several people wanted to read the book, but it was pretty hard to find. I thought you might like to know that it is available again. At least at Barnes and Noble. It's now renamed after the movie. When I first saw it, I thought someone made the movie into a book, even though it was based on a book, but no, they just changed the name, I guess they're hoping people will recognize the name. my homepage: http://www.Angelfire.com/ny3/dancingangel check out my angelfood page, there's a link from my main page "But don't wander too far, My one constant star, Darkness exists, except where you are, My feet are filled with wandering, They follow your own, 'Cause everywhere you are feels like home." -Jewel, Last Dance Rodeo ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2000 05:25:34 -0500 (EST) From: Chris Snyder Subject: * NJC Boston House Concert Hello everyone I hope your day is going well. I am pleased to invite you to a special concert taking place on January 16th. This show is special because of the artists and the enviroment in which it is presented. On January 16th at 5pm we are pleased to present a special double bill with Edie Carey & Nini Camps both from New York. If you want the basics you can scroll to the bottom. This concert is part of a homegrown series called Longfellow St. Concerts. Longfellow St. Concerts is a series of shows held in our home. Our goal is to present some of the best acoustic musicians in the business, in an intimate, comfortable enviroment. This type of show has long been the standard through the middle of the country where folk clubs are few and far between. For years artists like Greg Brown, Christine Lavin, and others have opted to play shows in peoples homes rather than risk playing a show in a local bar. Because we live in one of the richest music enviroments in the country we have been not been given the privelege of seeing artists in such a small, intimate setting. Because we saw how special some of these shows are, we decided to bring this unique experience of live music to the city. Our concerts have an attendace limit of 30 people making each show a special experience for audience and artist alike. It is very hard to describe how special these shows are. The only way to know what they are like is for you to come one. Once you have seen the joy in the artists faces you will never want to miss a show. Seeing an Edie Carey show is like watching someone read a diary of their deepest thoughts. Whether singing about an enveloping love, or talking about her childhood pet Edie has a wonderful ability to make you think you're sitting down with a life long friend. Her songs are overflowing with emotion. From the mother's grief of "Black Wool Dress" to the love, and joy of "I Never Thought I'd Say This" to the self loathing of "If I were you" Edie's songs take you on a complete emotional rollercoaster. "Edie Carey has the voice, the songs, and the presence that will take her right up alongside such stars as Shawn Colvin and Ani DiFranco," Matt Smith of Club Passim. "She effortlessly lures people into her musical spell, and then she continues to entrance when the music stops." http://www.folkweb.com/ediecarey http://www.mp3.com/ediecarey Nini combines the excitement of a rock concert, the intimacy of a diary, and the passion of a hot Miami night. Her songs rock with a passion, and intelligence rarely found in todays musicians. When she sings a song like "I Thought I Knew You," there is no doubt that you are hearing everything she has. Nini's songs range from a the love of "Mi Amor" to the NiNi Camps, a native of Miami, left the palm trees and espresso of her hometown for the concrete island of Manhattan in the early '90's. Before long, she was playing solo acoustic shows at the Bitter End and other NYC venues. Nini's folky, pop songwriting, laced with a hint of her Cuban heritage, attracted a large audience, as well as some of the best musicians in town. So, in the summer of 1997, NiNi formed her band, LOVE PIE! LOVE PIE's recently released, self-titled debut album has been receiving rave reviews as well as radio airplay. "Her songwriting is as solid as her guitar playing is sure...she rocks. Nini is at her best playing hard with style. Just good music." NiNi and her band were featured on the WB hit series, FELICITY, and they have also participated in several national promotional events with Levi's Jeans and Elle Magazine. http://www.lovepie.com So if this show sounds of intrest here are the details Details Performers: Nini Camps and Edie Carey Time and Date: 5pm January 16th 2000 Price: $10 admission Location: Boston MA Gegertha@tiac.net for more info, to make reservations, and for directions. Make sure to reserve space early as we only have room for 30 people and the shows always fill up fast. Thanks for reading Chris Snyder PS We also have an upcoming show on Jan. 23rd with Trina Hamlin ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2000 08:13:49 EST From: "Lauren Bendeich" Subject: * Angelfood??? Hi! Um... I'be only recently became joined the EveryDay Angels, and I was wondering (this may be a stupid question) but could someone please help me out and tell me a bit about ANGELFOOD??

Hi, I went to this Jewel site and it has 2 real audio songs of Jewel singing, And ive never heard the dongs before, they are "18 too late" and "With you". Does anyone know about these ? Zac ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2000 21:40:46 +0100 From: "Tom Hall" Subject: * Woe to Live On/Ride With the Devil book Hi all, Just a quick note to let you all know that I've finished reading Ride With The Devil now after I got it for Christmas (a great surprise!) Well anyway, I'd recommend this book to everyone who reads ;) It in itself is an excellent book, but what adds to it is imagining how the film's gonna be, what they'll change, how it'll all look, how Jewel will look. It adds another dimension to the story... Buy this book! Especially if, like me, you're almost definately not going to see the movie until it's released on video! (any dates yet, MrBB? hehe maybe I'm a bit early, eh?)... Well, I hope that helped someone somehow - just go buy the book! See you later, Tom ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2000 14:58:34 -0800 (PST) From: Lotti Subject: * Jewel on MTV Europe this weekend!!!!! Hi, I just saw on the MTVE website that they are going to broadcast Jewel tv in their celebrity weekend this weekend. It didn't say if it was on Saturday or Sunday or at what time so check your tv guide. You can also see a very small part of the DSL clip in the commercial for this weekend.

I just got the Ride with the Devil screener, since the movie's by my dad's company, USA Films. I haven't watched it yet, but i plan to this week. I'll let you guys know what I think! ~Kristina ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2000 19:34:31 -0500 From: MrBB Subject: * MrBB-Jewel Site Goes 1024x768/new contest/Java Joes's/LRTs & FF4? Happy New Year All, Those who wish high resolution from thier website viewing will be happy to know the highend version of Jewel's new website now has two resolution choices. In addition to the 800 x 600 version, we've now put the 1024 x 768 highest resolution version online for your enjoyment. It's simple to choose from the entry page at www.jeweljk.com We're also giving away several tourbooks from the 1999 Spirit Tour in the newest website contest. These tourbooks are quite nice & are autographed by Jewel. It's real simple to enter. Just visit the site, click contest & enter. Good luck! Also, this is old news to most of the SoCal EDAs I'm sure, but others might be interested in the fact that Java Joe's, well known as a focal point of great San Diego music, has moved from their Newport Ave location. They didn't move far though, just around the corner to 1956 Bacon Street. It's a larger room with a bigger stage area but still small enough to be intimate.Steve Poltz is involved with the new location & it promises to continue bringing countless great performances to Ocean Beach. I'm also happy to hear the Living Room Concert scene seems to be raising its head again in various areas of the country. One of the things I plan on doing sometime soon is putting together the long awaited Future Folklore Volume 4. This will contain some highlights from the 1998 LRT which featured many wonderful performances from Joy Eden Harrison & Lisa Sanders.If you don't know about these two artists, you should! Both have excellent (fairly new) albums out. Joy's "Unspoken" CD was my personal favorite release this past year & I highly recommend it. Lisa, who won the prestigious San Diego Music Award for Best Acoustic artist two years in a row now, has just released her second album "Life Takes You Flying" & all who saw her on the 98LRT will discover fully realized versions of much of the incredible material she was then unvieling to The EDAs. Jewel is taking time off so there won't be much news for awhile. She's just relaxing & having fun. All the best, Alan PS: Joy Eden Harrison info & sounds: www.joyedenharrison.com Lisa Sanders info: www.lisasanders.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2000 01:40:16 +0100 From: Henric Everhill Subject: * NJC: Swedish jewel fan Hi!
