[Mirko Serkovic Subject: Re: [EDA] The EDA Importance i think it would be silly to think that jewel doesnt recognize the EDA's and the importance we have. she knows we are important, i think she probably has a very high respect for us. as we do for her, or should anyway. i think she knows that if it werent for us her beginning may have never come, or it could have been even slower. the early EDA's are the ones who loved her before the world ever knew her, and commited we are, the EDAs are still here. as for the point of her doing a show for the EDAs, jewelstock that is, thats cus we were her only fans... i say we, how funny, i wasnt even an EDA back then. but she didnt have any other fans is what im saying. it was probably one of the most memorable things she will ever do, and i wasnt even there, i didnt even know about it, i didnt even know who jewel was! yet its huge for even me. but do not forget there was nashbash! we are not unseen. we are not unseen by jewel as long as she is not unseen by us. the day none of us see her anymore is the day you need to worry. cus then it is up to the "normal" fans, and they know her from TV and radio, and that never lasts. i know that as long as she does solo shows we will be there. hell, as long as she sings anywhere i will be there, ears wide open ready to recieve. alisa _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 08:02:27 EDT From: Fredsteve@aol.com Subject: [EDA] coyote ugly? I'm surprised Jewel wanted Coyote Ugly. It doesn't seem like something she'd be into. I know she auditioned for Moulin Rouge, but didn't get it. I also recently heard that Jewel met with Woody Allen back in 1998 regarding a film project - anyone have any idea what that was? I hope they get this "Wave" movie happening soon. It sounds interesting. Steve ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 14:40:02 EDT From: EveryDayAngelGSB@aol.com Subject: [EDA] Outburst Game Just thought this was funny... I was at my best friend's house, playing "Outburst" on her computer, and the topic was "Female Singers With Big Boobs" and for laughs I threw in Jewel...and she was up there, second under Dolly Parton. I got a laugh out of it and was surprised they had her on there, considering the game was made in 1996, right when she was just beginning to be known.

That is...there are still a LOT of people out there who don't have 'net access. I considered myself a pretty 'hardcore' fan long before I had regular 'net access. I first went to my local library & got on the 'net bec. I read about the POJ site in a magazine article. (As I recall, it was about a week or two after JewelStock -- I was so pissed that I missed it!) It was only a year ago that I got regular enough access to feel comfortable signing up for the list, and just about 1 1/2 months ago that I got my own computer. I used the 'net 5 or 10 minutes at a time to get info, but I never had an email address in those "early days". I've driven thousands of miles to see her, ranging from Colorado to Wisconsin. I drove 5 1/2 hrs from where I was living to see RwtD the week it opened (I even scheduled my vacation from work around the opening!). The shortest drive I've ever had to a concert was 4 hrs. I bought every single soundtrack she had a song on, as well as as many of the other compilations I could get my hands on. I bought a lot of stuff from the website, the online auction...not to mention the stuff she didn't get direct support from...bootlegs, promo posters, magazines, etc. Everything but this summer's concerts was before I was on this list. My point is...I can't have been the only one like that, can I? So, while those of us on the list may be a very important part of her core audience, I imagine that there are a lot of others out there who follow her vehemently, but who aren't here. Just my POV...Rob ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 16:36:11 -0700 From: Paul Schreiber Subject: [EDA] Saratoga shows review (9/12, 9/13) Here's my belated take on the two Saratoga Mountain Winery shows I went to. First, the venue: the Mountain Winery is a great place to see a concert. It's not too big -- perhaps 1,000 - 2,000 seats. The acoustics and the sound system are great. Sightlines are also very good. Even the bleacher seats looked good. They don't call it the *mountain* winery for nothing -- to get there, you have to spend 20 minutes going up a long, windy road with lots of switchbacks. It reminded me of the car commercial where the couple drives up to this house at the top of a hill, they get out of the car and meet the real estate agent, and the husband says "we'll take it." It was great to see Jason Mraz play again -- it'd been two years. He has great stage presence, and was really comfortable with the crowed (who didn't know who he was). Having Toca on percussion and Ian on bass make for a great sound. On Thursday, he played "Dreamlife of Rand McNally" -- I'm not sure if it was because he heard me requesting it or because he had it planned. Can't complain either way. :-) The highlight of Thursday's set was his impromptu song for Karen, the stage manager (or whatever) at the winery. Jason managed to attract a sizable crowd during intermission, and was busy selling CDs, signing autographs and posing for photos with infatuated girls. :-) Now ... on to Jewel. I was hesitant about paying $55 for a ticket -- twice. I'm usually the local-band-at-a-bar for $10 type of guy. But she only plays every two years so, I figured, what the heck. Five minutes into the set any doubts I had were wiped away. She was great. I liked the pot bust story; it had details I hadn't heard before. The Bob Dylan story was also entertaining. But only the first time! On Friday Billy and I joked that *we* could tell the story. That woman needs to get some new stories in the mix. Song highlights for me were "Sometimes It Be That Way", "Cold Song" (the polka intro *again*) and "Racecar Driver." On Thursday, she called Michiel up on stage and he brought along his song book for one of his requests. She didn't seem to hear my request, so on Friday I came prepared. I had third-row seats, so I made a sign "please play >> god's gift to women" and held it up when she asked for requests. Jewel look surprised -- "where do you get those songs from?" -- and started to play the first verse quietly to herself. Then she claimed she couldn't remember the lyrics. So I quietly held up sheet number two. "Oh," she exclaimed "you have the lyrics." But then she said she couldn't remember the guitar part and went and took another request. Still, it was worth a shot. And a cute moment. If anyone recorded that show, I'd love to hear a tape of that snippet. It's hard to describe the subtle qualities that make a Jewel live show so good, but I'll try: her passion for the music, the moments of spontaneity that creep up, her genuine appreciation for the fans, and, of course, whenever she pulls out an old song you'd long since forgotten about. Other events of note: Friday, a guy named Bob got to hold Jewel's lyric book for someone else's request. Some audience members took it upon themselves to make inappropriate comments. But he fared well, and even said hi to his wife on mic. An annoying woman in the front row kept singing (until security took her away). I was hoping Jewel would tell her to shut up or something. And there was the previously mentioned fistfight. I picked up a copy of the tour book -- it was surprisingly cheap at $10, well-designed and had a mini-discography where the mentioned _Save The Linoleum_ and other early discs.

I read in a magazine somewhere, where it showed all the competition for parts in several moviews, that Jewel competed with Nicole Kidman for Moulin Rouge. Does anybody know anything about it?
