Hello , fellow angels: I must start by asking if anyone of you have heard of the rock group Love Spit Love?? Does anyone of you have any of their albums?? I'm asking this cause I really want any of their recordings and I've checked the computers of the music stores here and they say that their albums are no longer exported to Puerto Rico. If anyone can help me , please contact me. Now to the subject of Jewel , I haven't heard Jewel yodeling , and I would really like to experience it. I know how you guys feel cause you have seen her often and you are observing that she doesn't enjoy yodeling as she used to , and I can understand that completely. But nevertheless , I would like for me to hear her yodeling at least once in my life. I've written another poem , which I actually converted into a song. I already sent a copy to Duff , but she has left for her vacation , so I'll include it. Here it is: "Stop Sign Heaven" Sunday morning girl smiled pretentiously as her blue eyes crucified my soul. Stubborn heart pin pointed by your shaken hands. My love has been on hold since the Stock Market crashed. My bonds and stocks of hope have dropped so low that hell seems as close as heaven. What's a tear to do when she's up against a red dragon. A warlock prepares his spell , but has no one to cast it upon. You're my temple of lies, yet I would sacrifice my life. Contradicted myself until I flew off in your blue kite, but you never cut the strings. You always kept me close to the ground. Grounded on quick drying cement buildings. "Stop Sign Heaven " a choir of hookers were singing. Stopping when children were no longer wishing for dreams or toys... Another little brat that got spoiled. 18 year old girl lying besides her pool. Mommy and daddy use her as their social tool. Chatiing with her yuppie friends , worn out by her high-society loneliness. Making love with a 50year old surgeon, "Daddy" -she screams out loud... a red rose can't keep on living like this. Stop Sign Heaven is just two blocks away. Take my hand , paper doll... a toll is needed to be paid. Circumsize my trash can heart... keep on murdering me until I've died. by: Rafael Angel Galinanes ------------------------------ From: K8tMae@aol.com Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 19:39:53 -0400 Subject: Re: Jewel GAY?? I'm sure that this one is going to get a lot of responses. If you read her poetry and lyrics, it can be inferred that she's not. I was once told that she was but, as will be said, I'm sure--"who cares": gay, straight, bi...it's the music that matters the most. She's a beautiful soul with a beautiful talent. Period.

At the Paradise show Jewel said her favorite TV show as a kid was the Jeffersons. I think that's hysterical. I guess it's appropriate though now that she's 'movin on up'. -Bill ------------------------------ From: j.mullins1@genie.com Date: Tue, 21 May 96 01:45:00 UTC 0000 Subject: Yodeling, Gay, Fanzine Okay, here's my 2 cents... I think that if enough of us get to speak to Jewel at all, then we should tell her to only yodel if she wants to. Well, not tell her, like giving her an order, but let her know we understand if she skips it sometimes, while making it clear that we'd be happy to hear her do it if she wants to...although I think she is going to continue doing it anyway since that is what many people are buying tickets for...and you don't turn your back on what made you famous, even in part... I don't think Jewel is gay...but I could be wrong since it's none of my business really. :) Although I think that these days a female singer with an acoustic guitar is automatically considered gay these days by some people...and it's a shame that a musician's sexuality comes before their art... And as far as the fanzine, I wouldn't mind contributing a guitar column or something...maybe even try to keep pertinent tour info, past and present. Like detailed song lists, etc... As opposed to having people's trade lists in there (which can easily become outdated), I think a classified section in the back where you can have your e and snail address if anyone wants to trade with youwould be much more beneficial...not to mention space-saving...

First of all, would it really matter if she was? Would that change the = way you felt about her music?

Last year after her show in Toronto at the Bathurst St. Theatre, I left to go to my car, when I thought that maybe if I went back with my CD, she might still be there, and I could get an autograph. As luck would have it, she was sitting on the stage, signing for the few people that stuck around. I was the last person there, so I was fortunate enough to be able to spend a few minutes with her and chat. I asked her if she minded if people taped her shows, and if she had any policy about taping (of course, the moment the show ended, I was kicking myself for not recording it!) Jewel told me that she didn't mind at all, because often she would play new songs, and forget them, so a fan tape would be the only way to hear it again. I told her that I thought that was very cool of her, and if she developed a big taping network, she could be the next Dave Matthews Band. She replied that she had NO IDEA who they were! I told her a little about Dave (and Boyd, Steffan, Carter and Leroi) and she said that they sounded pretty cool. I guess things have changed in the last year! I didn't know that Jewel had opened for DMB, but I wish I had seen it. I don't know why I told her she would be the next DMB (as opposed to saying Grateful Dead, or Phish, or Blues Traveler) but I guess I'm more psychic than I knew! (not that I believe in it but...) Anyway, for those of you into great music by oustanding musicians, be sure to check out Dave Matthews Band. I realize that many people on this list are more into ecto (Tori etc.) but, variety is the spice of life, and no one I know has ever been disappointed by DMB!

Or, relating to the mystery source person..will there really be a tree of it soon? Thanks for any info!!

Maybe I'll bring a sign along next time saying, "Everyday Angels! >Please don't Yodel, Jewel!!" i completely agree... at the odeon she even started to speed up before asking the audience "should i go faster"... it also bummed me cause i knew it would be the last tune... i would love to hear her show off her yodeling in a DIFFERENT song though... i really do like chime bells though, i almost want to have it on the next album though on the other hand it's such a live-oriented song... over yar ------------------------------ From: "Brett M.

I saw her in concert and I can understand why you took it personally. She is attractive, but when you see her it becomes much more than that. I never thought I see her up that close, we saw her in a coffeeshop before the show, and it kind of blew my mind.

Penna ) Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 21:02:01 -0700 Subject: Yodeling Fellow angels- On the latest topic of Jewel's yodeling, I feel that the experience is getting so bad that I don't know if any new fan would want to see it. Jewel is a musician that is incredible due to the heart that she puts into her music. She's not putting the passion into the Yodeling anymore and so I don't think it's really Jewel anymore. She does it because she has to, not because it's in her heart. This defeats the entire purpose of her music. The fans should go to the show to see an incredible musician pour her heart out on stage, not to see a girl yodel with no sense of passion. Every fan has their fave songs that they hope to hear. For me it's "Sometime It Be That Way". I'm always a little dissapointed when I don't hear it, but I'm there to see her perform, not to hear one song. If you're a new fan, you missed out on the yodeling experience. As far as I'm concerned, when she yodels now it's not the same as it was a year ago or even 6 months ago. I'm sorry you missed it, but seeing her yodel, and seeing her yodel with heart are two very different things. sincerely, Eric ------------------------------ From: mpenna@ix.netcom.com (Manoel W.

The yellow wallpaper peels A strange halo around my head It's funny how you notice the stupid things instead. You say something awkward but I wish that you wouldn't A whole life of you wish you coulds but you couldn'ts But please don't laugh at you now my dear I can read all the signs I can take it from here There's no need to explain It's perfectly clear I try not to think too much It only just makes me mad Spent half my life loving you think of all the love that I could've had 5 years worth of kisses are packed in your bag In this tiny moment fits all the big things we ever had and I can't quite pinpoint when it left or what for Love always steps lightly away from the door But please don't laugh at you now my dear I can read all the signs, hell I've known you for years There's no need to explain no, there's no need to explain there's no need to explain It's perfectly clear Some of these lines might be a little off, but I did my best , so enjoy. -Eric ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V1 #211 ***************************
