It's gonna be the same stuff that was on the pay-per-view special in 1997. It doesn't make sense to me that the'd only use footage from '97 when Lilith was 3 years. That's why i doubt the credibility of the e-mail. I don, however, recall and artical on like Sonicnet.com or Sarah mcLAchlan's label, that a documentry will be on TV, then later on video, about Lilith featuring all 3 years of interviews, backstage footage, performances, stuff like that. And i belive it to be true because there were statments made by a Lilith manager, so llok for that. Ill try to get more details. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2000 14:08:57 -0500 From: Mike Connell Subject: NJC: Re: [EDA] Song on Radio...sounds like j At 01:41 PM 12/8/00 , you wrote: >Have any of you heard a song on country radio called "There Is No >Arizona".

Producer Dean English told MTV News that the footage will be packaged in three different versions: a theatrical release, geared for film festivals, which will run 95 minutes; and two different television specials, running one and two hours each, for network broadcast. The program has already been sold to Canada's WIC television network, though the U.S. and world rights have yet to be marketed. The producer said that he expects this fall to be the earliest the program will air, with the latest being next spring. English explained that the project isn't simply a string of onstage performances, but more of an overview of the entire Lilith Fair experience. The production includes interviews with founder Sarah McLachlan, her co-conspirators, her band, the crew, and the audience, as well as performers from all three of the festival's stages. At least one retail video version of the documentary will be made available for sale in stores. Lilith Fair wrapped up a three-year run last summer with a revolving bill that included McLachlan, Monica, Sheryl Crow, Dixie Chicks, Beth Orton, Aimee Mann, Mya, Luscious Jackson, Indigo Girls, and Sixpence None The Richer, among many others. - --- So the other video, if a true release, is nothing more then the 1997 oov special ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2000 14:45:30 -0500 From: "Jupiter Orbiting" Subject: Re: [EDA] Perfect Tracklist for Jewel's Next Album I actually think that this one sounds the most realistic of all the ones I have read so far...and its a pretty good list of songs...

Subject: [EDA] re: NJC/NTC -- counting years A few more clarifications- or really, some comments on the Way we think about years. >"Regardless, counting years began with the number "1", not "0". Show me a >1/2 BC or 1/4 AD anywhere in the Bible (or anywhere else) if this isn't >so." Remember, that it wasn't like Jesus was born (if you believe that anyway) and they suddenly decided to count years according to his birth. As Tim pointed out this wasn't all set until centuries later (when Christianity had spread) So at the time it was just like Christ was born in the year 3566 (or something like that)Hebrew calendar years. So any BC/AD system dates in the bible or naywhere else were put there by latter-day historians. Not to mention that calenders weren't particularly standardized back then. So we've got a different set of numbering for different cultures. "I'm in no way implying the first year of his life wasn't relevant, it just wasn't "counted" in calendar terms." I'm not sure what you're syaing here. If we were to assume that the calendar really starts with Christs birth, then the first year of his life would have occurred from 1AD to 2AD. In "reality" the first year of his life was proabaly from 4bc to 3 bc. When you count forwards you go 3bc, 2bc, 1abc, 1bad, 2ad, etc. But again, no one at the time was counting that way. (There's some riddle about knowing that all coins marked BC are counterfeit) So, yes the numerical millenium starts next month. But, like Tim also mentioned, biblical/historical scholars think that the year assigned as 1 wasn't the actual year of Christ's birth, so all the "Christ's 2000th birthday" doomsday warnings and cult activities should have happened in '96 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Found 2 new interviews with Jewel. Heres the Musicmatch one found at http://www.mmguide.musicmatch.com/whatsup/makingnoise/1100_jewel_simple.html. This one lists Jewels favorite and first things at the end. I'll send the other one next. :)Dee Jewel:The Exclusive MusicMatch Interview with Jewel by Jason Riggs In many ways, the story of 26-year-old Jewel Kilcher resembles a fairy tale. It has the classic formula: a pure-hearted girl of modest means realizes her dream after overcoming a variety of obstacles. Plus, it's a story that has probably been told more than Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood combined. Since growing up as a ranch-hand in Homer, Alaska, Jewel has gone from living in a van and playing coffeehouses in San Diego, to a celebrated actor, author and multi-platinum artist performing at major arenas and festivals nationwide. However, her new book Chasing Down the Dawn, illustrates how her fairy-tale story includes its share of growing pains, life lessons and heartache. For years, Jewel has shared countless personal stories with her fans during live performances, but Chasing Down the Dawn takes that intimacy to a whole new level with deeply personal and poignant prose full of striking imagery. MusicMatch caught up with the very busy but extremely accommodating Jewel to discuss her solo acoustic tour, the well-timed re-release of Joy: A Holiday Collection, her charitable Higher Ground for Humanity and Clearwater Projects and her insightful book, Chasing Down the Dawn. Jewel's Latest Charity Projects MusicMatch: How is the Higher Ground for Humanity project going? Jewel: I was really, really pleased that Netaid picked it up. We were really happy about that and real proud of that. It's been pretty blessed. It's been lucky that way. MM: The Clearwater Project is interesting because it focuses on something that a lot of other causes overlookbclean drinking water. What inspired you to champion that cause? J: Water is tremendously expensive, even for us. I drink about eight - [1.5 liter] bottles of water each day, because of my kidneys. And, there was a time when affording that bottle of water was very hard. It got me concerned at that age to start wondering why there is bottled water and I learned what a global problem it was...and how easy it actually is to have an impact on it...how easy it is to install water sites and those types of things. There doesn't have to be a lot of red tape. You can actually just spend money, put in the site and people have better water. It seemed like a really good and viable first project for Higher Ground to start up. MM: You've already made a difference in Mexico. What was that like for you to bring clean water to this impoverished region? J: Four continents actually: Honduras, Mexico, Africa and India...already MM: You are doing a webcast for Netaid on November 16. Can you tell me a little bit about that? Will it be a solo performance? J: Yeah, it's solo stuff. Touring, Recording and Writing MM: What motivated you to undertake a solo acoustic tour? J: I just love it. I enjoy it a lot. It's real simple to tour that way. It's not like you have to have a big hullabaloo traveling circus with you. It's just you and your guitar and [Steve] Poltz is with me so that's really fun. I get to play new songs and it's a lot of fun. MM: How many new songs do you have? J: I don't know I haven't counted...I just write all the time. MM: What was it like recording your Christmas album Joy: A Holiday Collection? You were playing a lot of Holiday standards, working with choirs...that must have been a new experience for you. Was it intimidating at all? J: It was one of the easiest records that I have done. Arif Mardin has immaculate efficiency and, I think, very good taste and he made it a very easy record. I was doing it when I was on a world tour b as you can imagine it's quite difficult to do a record that way. But, he laid all the tracks just like I wanted them. I didn't have to be there supervising which was a tremendous relief in a lot of ways. Then I ended up just coming and being able to sing. I liked singing those songs because I got to use my voice in a different way than I do on my own stuff and in my pop stuff. I got to sing in more of a classic voice. I loved doing "Ava Maria" and those songs, which I don't get to do on normal records...though, live, I do sing arias and those kinds of things. MM: Your new book, Chasing Down the Dawn, is extremely personal b which is something that your fans have come to appreciate about you. But, was there something different about putting such personal events and thoughts in a book as opposed to a song? J: I think it's real different. I think you get a better feel for how my mind organizes thought and perceives circumstance and environment. So, it's a little more detailed than a song that's three minutes. My songs aren't, real often, very autobiographical...it's usually whatever tells a good story for the song. Whereas this [book] is pretty direct. There's not a lot of fiction in there at all. MM: Did you contemplate adding any topic or event that you ended up omitting? J: There's definitely things that aren't in there. [laughs] MM: But, is there anything specific that you wrestled with adding to or omitting from the book? J: I was real mindful of how I put my relationship with my dad in there, obviously, because I wanted to do it justice and honor. I wanted to accomplish something specific with it that wasn't gossipy as much as it was hopefully to be educational to kids that are in relationships with their parents that may not be the best. I feel proud of how I did that. MM: I think my favorite section was the "Texas Draught." It had some great visuals (even though the castration scene left a knot in my stomach) J: That's so funny. People are having a really strong reaction to that. MM: Your writing is so refreshing: intellectual and honest. Is writing something that has always come naturally? J: I think this is the first time I really tackled prose. I think my patience is really growing as a writer. I've always enjoyed poetry because it was so instant b the same as songwriting b it's just a page long. But, I've really been enjoying the prose format. I like that as a craft a lot. I enjoyed doing it tremendously. MM: Your book is also available on an audio CD b read by you. Were there any unique challenges in reading and recording spoken word as opposed to music? It's not as easy as most people might think. J: I think I wished I'd spent a little more time with it. I did it all in one afternoon and that was a lot of pages to read. So, I don't think I thought about what I was doing as much as I could have. Actually, I haven't listened to it ...oddly enough. But, it is different. I didn't know how it would come off to tell you the truth. I didn't know if I just sounded monotone [laughs] or just bored after a while. You know, your throat gets hoarse after seven hours. The Simplicity of Life MM: You've always been a person who lays everything on the table. Does that ever make you feel vulnerable? J: I'm very protective of certain things...obviously. I tend to, for some reason, feel a lot less vulnerable when I'm honest. Because, there's nothing people can't find out about you. What do I have to hide really? Who cares? I think everybody has probably shoplifted in their life, and if they haven't it's not some big deal. You know what I mean? I think it's good for kids to know that we're all human and we all do things that are good and bad and we live and we grow. That's kind of what it's all about. It doesn't really bug me too much. MM: Obviously, being in the position you're in has its benefits, but do you wish you could go back to being that young singer/storyteller playing at the Innerchange in San Diego? J: Sometimes I miss the simplicity of it, for sure. But, I'd never change anything. I think it's important to remember that I can make my life as simple as I want it. In this business, you start to feel like your life becomes dictated by what you've chosen. Like I put in the book, you're dreaming the dream...you feel like you've become dreamt by the machine. So, I think always remembering that...you have control and it can be whatever you want b retirement at 26 and going back to coffee shops or continuing in ways that you enjoy. So, I think I can always go back to that. I think the only thing that's scary is stalkers. It can be a real drawback. MM: Have you had any scary stalker incidents? J: Yeah definitely. It's scary. It's life-threatening and very serious. A lot of people deal with it. MM: Do you still get star-struck being in the company of music legends? J: Definitely. There's always people that make you amazed to be around. MM: Is there anybody in particular that stands out? J: I think BB King. He's the nicest guy in the world. He's like talking to someone you've known your whole life. He's so great.
