Anyway, the point is, on the "Welcome" window of AOL has a thing that says "AOL Exclusive: Jewel:Hear her live." And when you click there it says you can listen to a live performance and interview. I don't know if it's an old interview. I've listened to so many Jewel interviews that I can't tell anymore. Can someone tell? It might be old ... it sounds familiar. LOL ... give me a break. I've been cooped up for a week studying for finals and I'm finally done. (sidenote: whoopie! I'm done!)

In a message dated 12/15/01 1:09:55 AM Eastern Standard Time, Mike Connell writes: << it makes complete sense, _especially_ so "5 years later.". The main reason we had that rule? Bootleggers. True bootlegs, the kind that get mass produced like DDDelight and others were. >> How does it make special sense 5 years later when Jewel is less popular? This many years later, who cares if a "real bootleg" gets released. Jewel's not gonna release any of the Jewelstock songs anyway, as was once being considered. This was also the reason the 4th tape, of the electric songs, was not released; right? So, if it's obvious Jewel isn't gonna release any of these songs for profit anyway, what's the harm in having them bootlegged? It's not taking any money our of her pocket. And even on the long shot chance that she would want them put out, in some eventual boxed set or even releasing a whole show on CDs a la Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam, etc; the people who are hardcore fans are gonna buy it even if they have the bootleg. And the market en masse isn't gonna have the bootleg. I just don't understand what's wrong with bootlegging as long as it isn't obviously taking money out of the artist's pocket. Shouldn't Jewel have released This Way with special anti-burning encoding then? I'm sure a lot more people are gonna copy that album illegally through a burner and sell it on the streets of Manhattan then would ever sell the bootlegged version of Jewelstock. I just don't understand it. Feel free to disagree, I just want to state my case for what's so bad about bootlegs as long as the artist isn't being hurt. Any other sentiments on the list, on either side, feel free to join in.

I have to agree with Sean on this one. I'm not entirely sure how "bootlegging" something that is not going to be used for profit by the artist, is a bad thing. In fact, using the laws of proper promotion and PR, you would assume that it only serves a good purpose for this to occur, as it gives the existing fans more "ammo" to stay dedicated to the music the artist produces, and it also gives those that may not be Jewel fans a taste of her "other" music (and in my opinion, her better stuff that makes me a fan.) In knowing some of Jewel's marketing accumen, I am not entirely sure she didn't want these tapes distributed for any other reason than she didn't want to break any potential contracts or existing ones, and that she wanted to be able to use the songs to later get financial gain, which is totally acceptable. However; I can assure you that the girl that used to flaunt her breasts on the beach in PB to gain dollars from men that would then come to her shows, would certainly not mind music being shared now, especially with her declining popularity and album sales. It would just be silly and not a wise business move to not hand out more music. Follow the lead of the Counting Crows that have made it a policy to PROMOTE the bootleggers and allow them to tape and distribute stuff. Anyway, just my thoughts...

Now I came up with a language matching game. Listed below I have real or made up phrases and words in a different language (not nessacarily how you write it, sometimes it is how you say it out loud). Beside them I have the english meanings. So, the point of the game is to match up the language phrase to the English meaning. (I realize there are people on this list from all over the world, and may get these easily) The top three scores will get to choose one of the prizes below: The RCA and Radioshack concert on VHS tape. A Spirit music songbook with piano music and the guitar chords. (I did higlight some notes in Hands, and circled some notes, and there are a few pen marks in the front...not pen marks but it's like imprinted into the paper...kinda like when you write in a notebook, and then on the next pages you can see what you wrote imprinted into the paper, otherwise it's in perfect condition). A CD of Jewel preforming at Woodstock in 1999 I will ship the winners their prize for free. Overseas people feel free to join in too, because I don't mind shipping by airmail. Ok, now for the contest: *Word or phrase* *English meaning* A. hummel 1. truth B. pooka 2. hi, I swear C. veritas 3. smoke signals D. hala wallah 4. hair E. aller plus haut 5. bumble bee F. pelo 6. to go higher G. segnali di fumo 7. a fairy spirit in animal form You can just send me the answers like A is 1. There's probably going to be a tie. So to break it you must also tell me where I got the word "pooka" from. *HINT: it's in a work of literature* Not only you must tell me the title of the literature, but also who wrote it. The dead line date for entires will be on Tuesday, Decemeber 18 at 11 p.m. Eastern time. Mail your entries to authorangel@hotmail.com After the contest I will post the winners, and answers. Also I will post what languages the words and or phrases were in. Good luck! ~Jess _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2001 14:58:00 EST From: RachKat926@aol.com Subject: [EDA] Ok, I'm asking again: Does anyone know where I can find a profile picture of Jewel with Big Blue and she's wearing a light blue leather coat.

Hello Jewelfans, It4s almost 2 months before jewel is coming to the UK for her cool concert for her record this way. Other than the recording of the special Edison musicawards, there will be no other show from Jewel in holland at that period of year. They still plan to release the cd in February 2002. Take care JEwelfans, i still listen to this way a tremendously lot. it4s an optimistic record and has a fantastic sounds Michiel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2001 23:11:40 From: "Rowdy White" Subject: Re: [EDA] Jewelstock tree, a no go because of bootlegging? I dunno, I can see good reasons on both sides of the tree issue... Being five years later, things may have changed, and instead of arguing or even just debating it (which will not change the rules) why not ask Jewel if she minds a new tree now? And if she agrees, ask about about any new rules she'd like placed on the tree (maybe only offered to edas that have been on list for at least a month, or one tape per person, etc.) By asking her formally through Alan or whichever means we choose, we are showing her that we do respect her work, and her right to protect her work. She might say no for any number of reasons, but she might also consent to a new tree of Jewelstock. I do not mean to put Mr. BB in any awkward postion by suggesting this, but it would solve the problem about every EDA wanting a JS of decent quailty. Perhaps if having him ask the question is not viable, why not mass EDA emails to the jewel site, asking politely? She does not owe us this (or the first one) tree, so we should not demand it, but ask for it... Anyway, just a thought..

The little Alaskan girl with a guitar who stole our hearts - and then alienated her audience when her pure and truthful voice that stood apart in the landscape of mainstream commercial music leaned toward the status quo - is back after a few years of burnout and recovery. On her latest enhanced CD (just pop it in your CD-ROM drive - there's a video and the pictures from the liner notes!) Jewel co-produces alongside Christian rocker and studio guitarist Dann Huff, whose production credits include Shania Twain, Celine Dion and Megadeath, among others. On many of the tracks Huff's electric guitar ornamentation of Jewel's folky strumming reflects his roots as a Nashville studio session man. While slide guitar and country licks don't define the album, they definitely toss their weight around. Also contributing to the album, Rick Nowells (producer and keyboardist whose recent work has included Madonna's "Ray of Light") co-wrote some of the album's poignant pop/garbage music. While it seems at first glance that a pop sensibility has eaten up and regurgitated another talent for blind-baby-bird-public consumption, there are some really great tracks hidden in This Way. The live acoustic recording of "Grey Matter" brings us Jewel at her best, a rich and sweet voice with quiet yet thoughtful guitar accompaniment. On "Jesus Loves You" and "The New Wild West," we get very articulate attacks on the morals of the American public and their inability to civilize themselves. "Serve The Ego" is a pop marriage of heavy rock and eastern percussion over which Jewel laments how people chase superficial goals. It's a long shot, but I think Jewel still has a chance of filling de la Rocha's empty slot in the Rage lineup. ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V6 #699 ***************************
