I had posted about when 120 Minutes was on. I am well aware that it is on from midnight 'till 2 AM. The reason for my confusion was that someone said it was on "Sunday night". Now does that mean midnight-2 Am on Sunday, or midnight-2 Am *Monday* morning, which some might consider Sunday night--that's what I was asking.

First of all, when I mentioned the promo CD, I was just addressing the statement that Atlantic hadn't done anything to promote Jewel. I didn't know that Dave was only addressing the commercial promotion of it using CD singles for mass consumption. Once that was cleared up, I understand exactly what Dave was saying. Secondly, concerning the 120 Minutes issue, I was not singling Garrett out in any manner, but was saying that a "number of people" were not aware of the time of 120 Minutes. There were various posting concerning that. Also, if Garrett was so sure about when 120 Minutes was on, why did he have to post again to clear up the actual day. It's not like 120 Minutes changes time slots ever. Besides, I feel a question like that might even be best directed at an individual rather than a whole group. It just clogs up our mail systems. Sorry for the misunderstandings. ------------------------------ From: Steve Melisi Date: 29 Apr 1996 15:57:17 -0500 Subject: Re: The Paradise Ken Winchenbach writes: >Anyone on the list been to a show at the Paradise before? >What's the chance that they are going to check id's (it's 18+)?

Penn, 35, and Wright, 29, met eight years ago and have had a relationship that produced daughter Dylan Frances, 5, and son Hopper, 2. The guests, 40 relatives and friends, included Jack Nicholson, Warren Beaty, Tim Hutton, and Marlon Brando.

I think she definitely could. does this mean she'll be bringing a band with her on the road? am i the only who hopes so? does anyone know anything about when this album will be released and will that song be on it? i though it was great but i wish she had more room to perform she seemed so croweded in that little corner thingie. she looked comfortable as hell though so good for her. lastly, i want to give big huge thank you's to those of you who took a chance on a newbie like myself and helped me out with some trades. my collection is finally egtting into swing and i appreciate the kick: Carolyn, Kim, Jack and soon to be Kamyar :)---->THANKS! ok i'm done. see ya at irving plaza. peace. keep smiling, jeff ------------------------------ From: Mike Connell Date: Mon, 29 Apr 1996 20:02:00 -0400 Subject: Re: nuptial announcements Steve Melisi wrote: > > Just read this in the Boston Globe: > Actors Sean Penn and Robin Wright were married at a closely guarded > ceremony in Santa Monica, CA, according to the NY Post.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that everyone's Jewel obsessions (interests?) are not dying after all, although I am avoiding POY until the concert, 'cause even though it's unlikely, I don't want to have overkill. And I am one of the people who are proud of spending upwards of 15- on the POY cd (all right, it was a little less, but I had to go to a Cymbeline midnight madness sale to get it that way).

Here is her response. If you want more details write me in private E-Mail. James > How was Jewel's performance? she has a beautiful voice. I had never heard (of) her before. I have to admit to you, though, that where I am in life, I could not relate to her songs - it seemed to be from a point-of-view of passivity, or trying-to-please, or apologetic...kinda like a "victim's" standpoint - or a young woman who isn't too sure of herself yet ;-)...I'm past that phase myself ;-)... but, she has a beautiful voice. >How did the crowd react to Jewel, both her opening set and the duet? the 2 places I saw her were completely different in atmosphere. In Springfield, we were in a symphony hall, everyone was seated and attentive. In Providence, we were crushed into a standingroom- only floor with a bar scene happening in the back - the crowd was drinking and talking and not very attentive to her - she even made a plea at one point for a little less noise - (but she must be used to that if she ever played in bars before) - in any event, the crowd was rude and didn't quiet down. She was obviously thrilled to be opening for Dylan, and said so both nights. as for the duet! - I hinted at but never described in my review what went down there...it was sorta hard to pay attention to the song compared to watching Jewel dance and sing. It seems she has got the hots for Dylan !!! They sang together on one microphone, faces almost touching but not quite. It looked like she was having a very difficult time not jumping on him, the tension was visible as she held herself back. As she sang, she looked him directly in the eyes, as if there was noone else in the room with them. When he pulled back to play his guitar, she backed up and then -danced- so sensuously... >Do you have a tape of this concert? I would love to obtain it? I have not done much trading for Dylan tapes - seems like a whole different business than trading Dead tapes - and I do mean business. Maybe I've been unlucky enough to end up dealing with wheeler/dealer types, but always they have wanted more than a blank for their efforts. So, I've never really pursued it. That said, I really would love a tape of this show too! ------------------------------ From: Brian820@aol.com Date: Mon, 29 Apr 1996 20:31:20 -0400 Subject: "Absence of Fear" Lyrics To whoever asked, here ya go... "Absence of Fear" by Jewel Kilcher Inside my skin there is this space... it twists and turns it bleeds and aches Inside my heart there's an empty room. It's waiting for lightning; it's waiting for you I am wanting, and... I am needing you to be here inside the absence of fear Muscles and sinue(?) Velvet and stone...

I got to hear Under The Water from The Craft soundtrack today, and it's incredible! In fact, I ended up working 2 hours overtime tonight because I couldn't turn this off when I should have been working today. This is a smokin', atmospheric, medium-tempo dance track that will sound great at full blast on a huge danceclub sound system. Jewel does a "rap" in the middle of the song that's reminiscent of Blondie's Rapture. It also has a groove that reminds me of another water song, namely P.J. Harvey's Down By The Water. I realize many of you are probably going into shock right about now, but trust me, this song is great! It's produced with real drums and instruments, and Jewel's vocals start off simmering and end up flat-out rockin'! This one gets 10+ in my books, and I'd say get The Craft before the Andy Warhol soundtrack if you have to choose this week. The lyrics are a bit abstract, making it harder to logically decipher certain words, but I think I've got most of em. Under The Water (Written by Jewel Kilcher & Ralph Sall) Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb All the noise seems to call my head a home Can't escape the scratchin' My blood makes a noise It's hard not to play when there are so many toys So many toys - -Chorus- Under the water The total is more than the sum Under the water I hear who I've become There's a hole inside my head where all the thoughts break(?) out Sometimes my flesh is filled with forgetfulnes and doubt It's easy to feel safe with no control of ???? Innocence ain't lost it just needs to be maintained It needs to be maintained Beside me are strange fish ???? ???? ???? ???? A tapestry of intention that maintains the spark And there's a tiny light A flicker within Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend It knows how to mend - -Repeat Chorus- (Spoken "Rap") I've decided to hear who we will become Wanna lay down in the water, go back to where I'm from Outer space is just a puzzle of stars Music the mechanics of the human heart A post that stirs(?) A shadow that casts An insatiable thirst rings a martini glass There's no place sacred, no honest reflection Our senses made senseless by a lack o' direction Months (monks?) are great with the fishes uncurled But they live in a cave, they know nothin' of the world I wanna live brave, I wanna live without fear But it's hard to navigate when I can't even hear (Do do do do do do do, Do do do do) - -Repeat verse 1- - -Repeat Chorus, then- Under the water My flesh is filled with stars Under the water I hear who we really are Under the water I lay my burdens down, down, down Under the water All resistance drowns (Do do do do do do do, Do do do do, <5x>) Come on, come down, down, down under go, A-go down on and go down under Go under the water I hear who I've become Under the water I lay my problems down Under the water All my resistance drowned - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAN STARK PLEASE NOTE NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS danstark@netcom.ca dstark@freenet.npiec.on.ca will be forwarded Windsor, Ontario, Canada danstarkds@aol.com is cancelled - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: changph@ctrvax.Vanderbilt.Edu Date: Mon, 29 Apr 1996 23:30:21 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Reminder!

After going back to the tape, I think I _was_ talking out of my backside. She didn't look unhappy to me (I must have been more tired than I thought when I watched it Sunday night - past my bedtime). In fact the second time around I thought she was quite happy, just maybe a little low-key. And I was probably a little harsh on Matt Pinfield. Whatever his interview style, it worked pretty well for Jewel because she had plenty to say; he was a catalyst without actually taking up the interview time himself (I seem to recall the MTV News Alison Stewart interview as being more Alison asking a question, and Jewel responding with a yes, no, uh-huh or what-have-you. I like it more when the interviewee does most of the talking.) And did anyone catch her singing part of Pieces Of You during the closing credits of the show? I went to bed before the end Sunday night and only caught it on the replay. As was "Absence of Fear", so was this. Heaven. Well, I have to see her live again. I only aborted my pilgrimage to the Penn State show when I realized it was an eight hour drive from here (and I was still thinkin' about it). My closest opportunity on this tour is still a three-hour drive though (and on a Sunday night - arrgh!). So, is anyone else going to the Grand Rapids show on May 12th at the Intersection? I don't know my way around G.R., so info on the club would be welcome, even if no one else on the list is going.
