This is just a message to let you all know that, since President Clinton (I can't believe I actually voted for this fool) chose to sign the CDA on Thursday, Everyday Angels will have a black background with white text until Saturday to protest this abomination. If you don't know what the CDA is, please visit Everyday Angels and follow the links to the pertinent information. Everyday Angels is available at Thanks for your time. - -Aaron Walker Email address: awalker@macalstr.edu Home Page: http://www.math.macalstr.edu/~awalker/ ------------------------------ From: Mark Hazelbaker Date: Fri, 09 Feb 1996 07:58:55 -0500 (EST) Subject: have you seen this? Date: 09-Feb-1996 07:45am EST From: Hazelbaker, Mark MHAZELBA Dept: GRAD Tel No: (201)408-4002 TO: _IN%"jewel@smoe.org" ( _IN%"jewel@smoe.org"@MRGATE@DANIEL ) Subject: have you seen this? i haven't seen this mentioned on the list, so i thought i would. with a recent subscription to _out_ magazine, they sent me a cd sampler called *knock out 2* which, to my surprise, includes: JEWEL "Women's Song" non-LP cut from the Atlantic album PIECES OF YOU (82700) as well, there's some pretty good tracks from francis dunnery, bruce roberts & kd lang, gypsy kings, and melissa ferrick. the cd itself will be worth the subscription price! btw, since WS (_a dance between two women_) is not on PoY, how is it that it is cited as *from* the album? I guess that is what *non-* means? anyone know the industry's technical language? | | mark. ------------------------------ From: teffta@crypt.erie.ge.com (Andrew R. Tefft) Date: Fri, 9 Feb 1996 10:21:05 -0500 Subject: Article from Detroit Free Press Here are parts of an article from last week's Detroit Free Press, from before Jewel's appearance in Ann Arbor. I got bitten by the old "type it all in then watch it disappear" phenomenon once already so this might be a little more abbreviated than the last version I typed in. This time I will use an editor to type it in instead of typing it into the mail message directly. Singer Jewel, 21, says she'll never grow jaded by Brian McCollum, Free Press pop music critic If you've heard Jewel Kilcher's debut album, "Pieces of You," you already know the 21-year-old singer-songwriter has a knack for confidently delivered, bluntly personal expression. Despite the pressures of the cutthroat music business, Jewel keeps her professional life emotionally fit by employing the same intelligent clarity she displays in her introspective songwriting. [ say what? --ed.] "I don't think you should allow yourself to become jaded. There's a choice: just because you see ugliness doesn't mean you have to become it, or even necessarily believe in it too wholeheartedly," she says. "I believe that innocence isn't really something that can be lost -- it's something that should be maintained." On her upcoming album (to be recorded this spring): "The first album was very serious. It didn't really show any of my other (traits), like my sense of humor, or my other styles of writing. I write big band music [ waiting for that big band album! --ed. ] as well as Western music, and I've been writing for electric guitar lately. I think it'll be much more versatile, and much more me. Musically, I've been able to catch up to what's in my head -- when I recorded the first album, I'd only been playing guitar for about a year and a half." On her tour: "It's had ups and downs. Beauty has always been important to me. I don't mean physical beauty. You become what you're surrounded by, and when you're on the road in Motel 6's everywhere, it becomes hard when you've come from a place as beautiful as Alaska. So that took adjusting, because where I found myself -- my sweetness and where I wrote from -- was gone. So it's about learning how to find that center, on the road in the midst of cold, gray concrete. The reason she makes music: "You can use it to say such real things. That's beautiful, because in my own life, I've felt so lonely, so afraid, so suffocated by my own flesh, that I don't want other people to feel that way. And music really helps people feel less alone." ------------------------------ From: Dan Stark Date: Fri, 9 Feb 1996 12:09:25 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: have you seen this?

She is sooo beaautiful! She's cool! I like girls because of her. She is such an inspiration. The other day, I was driving around, and I hit three kids, but Jewel really cheered me up, and made me realize that those kids really weren't worth the pain and anguish that they were causing me. For that I will always be grateful to Jewel. I LOVE YOU JEWEL! MARRY ME! -Jon ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo "How's it feel staring blankly at the end of your life? If I pull this trigger will you be happy with the life you've lived? Have you seen all you want to see? Have experienced all you want to experience...all that you CAN? Are you happy? Content? Then if so...give me one good reason why I shouldn't pull this trigger right now...." -? ------------------------------ From: Chip Davies Date: Fri, 9 Feb 96 17:30:09 EST Subject: loose ends EmilyEmilyEmily!!! Thanks for filling in more pieces of Jewel's DO'R dream. I know she does this stuff at every show but it was the first time for me and a lot of fun. I've appreciated the other reviews greatly and I hope they keep coming in as the tour moves West. I hate to say, but Edwin McCain did seem a bit of a speed bump on the RnR highway. Pales by comparison to Jewel. To Daniel out Midwest there: With regards to Jewel being compared to Bob Dylan, ask her if she feels a need to progress to a bigger (electric) sound to capture a larger audience as he once did. I imagine the response would be similar (alienate the early fans, bring on lots of new ones). Also, could somebody please repeat the whereabouts of the TAB stuff. Thanks. Have a good weekend, Chip ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V1 #49 **************************
