EDAS ROCK! and i am one vote for getting nedra back! laters, alisa. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2005 04:31:44 -0500 From: LostSerenity42@aol.com Subject: Re: [EDA] happy bday jewel list! stupid managment! oh yes. I have to completely agree with you on that, alissa. we NEED Nedra back. I haven't even really been following what's been going on, but it sounds as if Irving Azoff has done Jewel's career more harm than good. She deserves better than this. The Jewel I fell in love with was not about the almighty corporate dollar, and she certainly would not have stood for alienating fans in the way it seems has been done. It's a shame, really. Oh, and I have to ask..does anyone know whatever happened to Tom Proven? I'd like to get in touch with him! thanks!

I really think it is a shame what has happened with Jewel lately. I had tons of web sites bookmarked that were about Jewel. When I read the e-mail from the guy (sorry I'm bad with names!) who used to run Planet Jewel it got me thinking. So I went to check. Out of 15 sites that I had bookmarked, only 6 are still in existence. And of those 6 it looks like only 3 have been updated in the past couple of years. That is really sad. Now I read that the management wants to do away with fans sharing files of her music. Come on!! I would not be as big of fan as I am if it weren't for that very thing that they have such a problem with. I have quite a few MP3s of songs that she has never put on a CD. Those are my favorites! And come on! How is it that at every Jewel concert I go to I hear people requesting things like Carnivore and Race Car Driver? They had to hear that from somewhere! And she would be stupid to think that those songs haven't helped her career. Whether she has gotten any money from them or not, they have promoted her commercial releases. I, for one, am so grateful that people record the shows. I love it when people put MP3s up on their sites. No one is making money off of that! And I love the few angelfoods that I have. I am sad, however, that I am losing faith in Jewel and all that I thought she stood for. I don't know if that can ever be repaired. - -Mi Rinda The maternal angel ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2005 17:41:11 -0800 (PST) From: ERIC LEVENCHUCK Subject: [EDA] Re: Legal Notices The reason Jewel and her management insist on keeping all the dozens of archived shows to themselves instead of releasing them to the public is somewhat of a mystery. But I think it has partly to do with the major label mentality that an artist needs a full publicity campaign before releasing anything, and that tends to cost them a lot of money. The truth is that Jewel could have done what most Instant Live artists have done and released all of the shows to the general public shortly after the last tour ended. I personally would have bought every show. How does Atlantic or Jewel benefit from these shows selling for $300 on certain unmentionable websites not affiliated with Jewel? Obviously, they don't see a cut of that money. Maybe they're waiting to release all these archives as part of a box set in ten or twenty years.
