Even if you don't like the lyrics (which I do), I figure most of you would agree that this song demonstrates the talent and range of Jewel and her voice. FYI: For those of you who don't know... this song is on the Rare Angels tape.

I'm not a musician, but I am a writer and give public readings of my work (mostly poetry) (gratuitious plug: anyone on the list in Seattle, I'll be giving a reading at the University Bookstore on May 7 at 7:00 pm) and I do find that I keep time by moving one part of my body--usually my leg, but sometimes my arm or hand.

Does she love those leather(?) pants and that belt or what? She's worn them nearly every time I've seen her. It was nice to see her in Jeans and a shirt besides the blue or silver turtleneck. Looked great in those jeans, too. The Ghost of Brett haunts us all, it seems. > > Got me there; I could see texturing, but I don't remember her description > as it happened after I saw her on tour.

Sometimes my foot. Sometimes my head, But something seems to get going somewhere in my body. I think it's infectuous and spreading when I play. The longer I play the more intent I get. Then I stop noticing. I could be shaking completely and have no idea. Didn't notice her foot rocking. Let's go to the tape. (When I get it from my sister, who was nice enough to tape it for me, as a on-fan--horrors!!) Kudos for her into the aether.

You make it sound like she tried to > imitate his voice. She most certainly did not do that. She > only covered it. Aah, I die by the hand of semantics! I yield to your interpretation. But I DID mean Tori "covered" Kurt; the appeal of covers is, of course, hearing a new voice and a new style transform an old song. Tori's rendition of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" would certainly have been less entertaining had she tried to *sound* like Kurt (I believe shuddering would be a natural response to such a thing). Jake Hirsch further wrote: > By the way... you don't make jokes about Stephen Hawking Yes I do. Such are the pleasures of having no taste or decency. Come on! I adore Stephen Hawking! I read "Brief History" (well, parts) AND saw the documentary! I fully appreciate the intelligence and knowledge he has brought to our planet, but that doesn't make him ineligible for jokes. Technically, it's not even Hawking's voice I am poking fun at, but at that computer voice he relies on to communicate. If he still has a sense of humor after all his body has been through (and from my understanding, he does), then even he may chuckle at the irony of such human words being spoken through that robotic voice. I'm sure technology will advance to a point when that voice will sound more human (perhaps we can pick designer voices: "Would you like a Tori Amos today? How about Jewel? Oh, we have a special on Kurt Cobain!"). Perhaps victims of suicide or Lou Gehrig's disease should not be allowed into the occasionally disrespectful fields of humor, but most things in this world have a laugh in them somewhere. And most of those laughs are not mean-spirited; I certainly do not want mine to be. - --- Carter "Taking Me Seriously Is the Road to Ruin" Navarro ------------------------------ From: Chopped Liver Date: Fri, 19 Apr 1996 13:29:55 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Re: Semantics, Physicists, & Levity On Sat, 20 Apr 1996, Carter Navarro wrote: > > Perhaps victims of suicide or Lou Gehrig's disease should not be allowed > into the occasionally disrespectful fields of humor, but most things in this > world have a laugh in them somewhere.

He has a terrific sense of homor, as I know you would need, to survive such a devastating disease for such a long time, without resorting to Euthanasia. > > Perhaps victims of suicide or Lou Gehrig's disease should not be allowed > into the occasionally disrespectful fields of humor, but most things in this > world have a laugh in them somewhere. And most of those laughs are not > mean-spirited; I certainly do not want mine to be. My grandfather has ALS (Lou Gehrig's) and he makes jokes about it often. Especially about his difficulty in doing things that before had been so easy. Humor often makes difficult situations tolerable. Jewel, for relevancy. Did everyone see the Interview pictures? Finally some that look more like she usually does in person. Not quite, but closer.

OK, the height thing again, only this time Im ready with the accurrate info. While in Alaska J and her mom, Lenedra, measured at the high school. They were both exactly 5 feet five and three quarters inches. A carpenter friend used his ruler to double check the wall system they measured against and yep thats how tall. No shoes. Which put an anticlimatical end to their friendly running argument about who is tallest.

Jewel has been offered two shows with Sting, opening act: Aug 30 or 31 (forget which) in San Diego and Sept 1 in Las Vegas Jewel will be interviewed by CNN on the day of her LA show, May 4. Dont know if it will air that day or not. Rolling Stone mag is doing a small piece on Jewel. They have decided they would like to include photos if the schedule allows. That may occur on the 24th. Jewel charted on AAA (triple A, or alternative) radio today for the first time. At number 30.
