(not just good looks, but her genuine talent) The thing is so many people on here assume that there is a market for jewel's fandom... So if more people see her on MTV or VH-1 or hear her on the radio now they'll take away a chance for people who have known jewel for years or months to also be fans... That's SO GoddamneD Ludicrous! And also to think that just cause someone saw her on tv first then they only like her for her looks. I mean come on people. Yes there are supreficial people out there BUT many of them learn to love her music... Hollie i do know some of what you write above is not your viewpoint but you raised these issues so i'm replying to the issues raised, not necessarily your post >This will not happen. Jewel Kilcher is a true, genuine, good person... Very true I think... The people who really love jewel no matter when or where they heard her or how many lyrics they can recite or whatever. If you get pleasure out of her music then you are a fan as far as i'm concerned... >She knows who started her journey to greatness, and she appreciates US. She does appreciate us, but i think it is she who started her journey to "greatness" not us. Yes, we are loyal fans but don't give us too much credit.

She looked in her cream miniskirt, and even better in her black slip/dress!

Explain, please, the person who originally started this thread. I mean, if you were to look at the backround of the computer I'm using (it's rainbowy), does that mean that the owner of the computer (it's my boss's) or that the computer itself is homosexual? Or how bout the sky? Is it homosexual for having rainbows after it rains? Heeeee heeeeeeeee:) Honestly, I don't understand how to correlate the rainbow pattern to sexual orientation, but I do know how to make a mean coffee ice cream shake! So the Paradise show. I missed the chance to see her at Borders because I got to the meeting place an hour after the predeterminined time. But I did get to meet the group of everyday angels after the show (it made me so proud when, in the middle of telling a story, Jewel looked into the crowd and said "hey, everyday angels!" and I turned around and saw the sign. gives me warm fuzzies. Which isnt' too hard right now since it's so freakin' hot and muggy here). These guys that I met are a bunch of crazies. And they're supposed to be adults, which scares me. I don't wanna grow up, I 'm a Toys' R Us kid... SO the show. I was kinda dissapointed by the show (oh, typo) cause Jewel played a whole slew of songs from POY. It seemed to me (and I could be wrong) that al the non-POY songs are songs that will probably appear on the next album. That's what I think. They didn't have that "spontaneous" feeling, like she had just written them or just remembered them from her extensive catalog; more like she has these songs written down and committed to memory and is gonna record them. What the hell am I talking about. Anyways, I was still severely rocked by the performance (why wouldn't all those people in the back just SHUT-UP. Why the hell did they come to the performance? To chat? Bunch a bleeding morons with their bleeding secret masonic handshakes and their color tv sets and Tony Jacklin golf clubs) and still enjoyed it despite it's...for lack of better words, commercialness (afterall, it is/was/will be brodacast over the radio, so she had to play the recognizable songs for the public, right?). Oh well. And the Chime Bells bit. Those fucking bastards screaming for her to yodel. I'm gonna hunt them down and pop they're heads offa their necks. They wree screaming at her to yodel, and she said in an annoyed yet "you guys are so idiotic and therefore I laugh at you" voice, she said "we'll yodel later." This happened towards the end of the main set. Then she yodelled as her final encore, you know, cause she probably has a skeleton set list that has certain songs she has to do at every show, but can rotate othe songs around them. Oh, at the Ironhorse show in Northampton in Jan., she didn't do Chime Bells. I was wondering if she didn't yodel at other concerts. That was a cool show because she did a lot of songs that were not on the album. I feel sorry for Jewel. She must really be bushed. All this touring with very little rest. She must feel so sh!tty, especially with all the in-stores and radio stuff she's doing along with the shows. Poor little Jewel, all tuckered out. At the show, when she finally came out to leave, she smiled gamely at us Everyday Angels (and Dennis, who nearly assaulted her; scared the dickens out of her, I bet) but looked quite exhausted and left without really meeting us. It was kinda disappointing, but you gotta feel for her. Hiranya, if yer reading this, tell Jewel to slow down, not to burn herself out trying to make her fans happy. Tell her to stay healthy and mentally balanced, and GET SOME SLEEP! That's all I feel like writing for now. Oh, I did manage to give my present and card to the roadie who was selling the Jewel t-shirts, so I hope Jewel got them.

I know this question because I have seen it on other lists. Like many of you I also hate to see it repeated and have never written about it before. I am writing now to get it off my chest and maybe try to make some sense out of it for myself. I read the first post last night and I could not stop thinking about it. It kept me up last night and inspired an interresting dream. I think this topic has expanded beyond it's connection with Jewel and has become a more general question of how do you feel about Homosexuals? These are my thoughts today but not necesarily tomorrow. Although I would like to consider myself "politically correct" most of the time I know I can't and never will. I don't even understand the term. It seems to apply so differently depending on the culture. I think it is more important to search for what is deep in your soul and not let political correctness interfere. I wish that Jewel's sexual preference didn't make a difference to me but I must be honest and say that it does. I listen to Jewel because I love her voice and simplicity. She is wise beyond her years. I would like to believe that I have a lot of things in common with her just like the rest of you. However, I realize that if she was gay her songs would mean something different in my mind. I would still be a huge Jewel fan no matter the case. I also love REM although Michael Stipe is an admitted bisexual. That makes absolutely no difference to the love of the music but it does change the way I see the person. I can't stand the people who picket gay people saying that they are defying God with their actions, and it is incorrect in the eyes of God. Well, my christian friends, God creates all life including those that prefer their own sex. Maybe you hate them because they are peices of you. Maybe it shouldn't matter because that would be the way that the perfect world would work but this is not the perfect world. I do believe that it is wrong to hate a person for one trate like that. I am not a homophobic. I am sorry if my thoughts are wrong in your eyes. I am just trying to be true to myself. About my dream: When things really bother me I tend to dream about them. Last night I dreamt that Jewel stayed at my house for the weekend. Only she didn't really look like Jewel. She was very large and kind of chubby. She wasn't very pretty and I wasn't attracted to her at all. However, I was very shy around her. I was scared to talk to her or be near her as I am with people I deeply respect or feel lesser then. I believe her unattractiveness was a metaphore for homosexuality. In my dream it did not affect the respect I had for her. I think that is how I feel about the issue. I really don't believe that she is gay but if she is it won't make me any lesser of a fan.

I was just wondering if what it says about Jewel having not found her own voice is generally agreed with on this list. She is evolving. But, I think the reviewer ignores the concept of tayloring your vocals to the mood of the song instead of vice versa. Maybe he was confused by her versatility. Maybe he was looking for some way to put a label on her. That's something I haven't been able to do. Also, about naivete. That's one of the charms of her music. I love it. If the reviewer said that her lyrics were sometimes awkward, I'd have to agree, especially some of the very early one. But she is learning to express herself better, both in lyrics and music. And when, BTW, did she sound like Tom Petty or Dolly Parton? The more I read his comments, the more I'm convinced the just didn't know what to think of Jewel. Chopped Liver (Charlie) watkins@selway.umt.edu >From the New York Times, May 20, 1996: "A Young Songwriter of Many Voices" by Jon Pareles "Jewel Kilcher, who performed [at Irving Plaza] on Thursday night, is a songwriter bursting with talents. Strumming and fingerpicking her acoustic guitar, alone or backed by a scrappy folk-rock band, she harked back to the folkies of the 1960s and 70s, although she is in her early 20s. .....Jewel hasn't yet found her own voice; in the course of a set, she echoed Rickie Lee Jones, Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Dolly Parton, Tom Petty, Bonnie Raitt, Enya, Tammy Wynette, Stevie Nicks and Anita O'Day.... Jewel is still trying out genres, though sometimes with good results, as in a new song that approached the prodigal imagery and wayward humor of mid-60s Bob Dylan. If she can stay sensitive but lose her naivete, she'll come up with songs worthy of her skills." ------------------------------ From: Jon Held Date: Wed, 22 May 1996 12:24:48 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Phila Concert Hello again. I was surprised by Jewel's choice of songs at her Philadelphia performance; she did NOT yodel, and she didn't play YouWereMeantForMe. She DID play Adrian, which just doesn't work live, partly because it's too long, and she just didn't do much with it. But, she sang Nicotine Love, upon my request, and that makes up for it! I was actually impressed by Duncan Sheik. He's nothing revolutionary, nothing new and innovative, but he is a wonderful songwriter - his ballads are just GOOD, they really had an effect on me, and I don't even like that kind of music.

I being logical and whatnot, figured that meant Duncan Sheik went on at eight-wrong. They didn't go on til ten and Jewel didnt get on til almost 11:30. This was my second Jewel show but this time I unfortunately did not get to talk to her or make any kind of personal connection. While in line for tickets the high school kids behind were talking about how they just saw her on the beach meditating with her mother and family, supposedly she was bowing towards the ocean chanting Homage to Home so I figured it would be impolite to interrupt her at a time where she obviosuly did not want to be dealing with fans. Other than that she wasn't really around until she jumped on stage with DS wearing a ratty pink sweatshirt and baggy silver pants-she didnt keep them for her set, changed into a white and yellow sundress sorta thing. Anyway, here's the setlist in approximately correct order, not perfect but close. Behind the Wall:Tracy Chapman cover Little Sister Near You Always Daddy:preceeded by story about racist dad and his kids, flipped someguy off who was being obnoxious and yelling out "daddy" at the wrong time Nicotine Love:I take credit for this being played, I was the first one to call for it when she asked for requests, preceeded by story about serial killer woman Watch Sassy Wake-Up:New song, pretty good too. ??:Only song I didn't know, may have been Marital Carnival but she didn't introduce it, sounded kinda country-ish, she had already announced Carnivore but then had some technical problems with the guitars and played this. Carnivore:Really rocked, like it. Cold Song:Impromptu, at request of audience member. Love Me Just Leave Me Alone:Had never heard it before, it too rocked. Race Car Driver:Very different with band, don't know which I like better, this had more energy but was hard to hear the lyrics. Morning Song You Were Meant For Me My Own Private God's Gift To Women: With story about hitchiking and the guy who asked her to show him her tits, like this one better solo. I'm Sensitive:New lyrics in the beginning seemed like she was totally improving, when she got to the part about being told we're bad she commented that she liked making stuff up better than singing the actual lyrics. Ripped on Bob Dole and did a little medley of eighties hits choruses, inc.Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Lady in Red, Like A Virgin, Coconut, and others I can't remember now. Foolish Games:Awesome Pieces of You:More Dole and NY Times bashing, quick impressions of lead singer of Crash Test Dummies and Dolores O'Riordan(Cranberries) Angel Standing By:Story about how we're not really alone. Deep Water (leaves stage, band comes back and jams out intro to WWSYS for a minute and a half, she resurfaces and does the song_ ENCORE Who Will Save Your Soul And that's where it ended folks, no Chime Bells, no yodelling, and people weren't like asking for it all night either, I was really shocked when she didn't do this song or Amen which I really wanted to hear. Other than that though the show was incredible. The crowd on the most part was EXTREMELY well behaved compared to the stories I've read on this list about Boston and DC. She was genuinely chatty and seemed so at ease the whole night. Someone recently commented that she's told these stories and yodelled so many times that it has no meaning anymore, for the stories anyway that is totally not true. She just has such great stage presence and carries on a conversation almost with the audience. She talked a lot about how she is just unbelievable happt that she can make a living like this doing what she loves and we, her fans, got her out of her van, how shw went swimming in the ocean in betwen her duet with Duncan and the begining of her set and how it tastes oily, it is New Jersey after all, and she just had a lot of other genuine real honest comments the whole night, even when the guitars were all mistuned, she laughed and joked and ouched at their souds and mocked out Bill, the tuning guy/electric guitarist. There's no way she could ever pull off a show like that in a big venue. Her intimacy and contact with the audience would be totally lost. Again though, a great show, a little little little bit disappointed by the end but a knocked me over performance on the whole-wow. As for that quick exit, it was like one in the morning and she has a show the next day in Pittsburgh, a five hour drive, so maybe that was part of it. I couldn't stay and hang out and wait for her after the show 'cause my friend who went with me who drove had to wake up early the next morning so we left. If anyone else was at this show and has a more accurate setlist, please post it, and if anyone has a tape DEFINITELY contact me at: SHOOKS@drew.edu Oh, and one more thing, her concert fest thing in Philly on the 31st-well, what is it and are there tickets available.
