My deepest apologies if this goes out numerous times! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi everyone: As a select group of lucky list members gather tonight to hear Jewel perform, I thought it might be fun to repost a message from last July when Jewel was still a struggling musician on tour with Peter Murphy. Even then she recognized her support from this list. One list member had the opportunity to speak with Jewel and she relayed the following message to the list. I think all "listers" old and new will enjoy reading or re-reading this note. Enjoy! sabra - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **JEWEL INFO** I just returned from Jewel's show in North Hampton, MA. It was a long trip (almost seven hours through Connecticut's Gauntlet of Construction) from Wilmington, DE, but well worth it. It was my unreasonable thing to do this month, as Jewel canceled her June 20th show in Philly and I had this interview I had to do with her. It's late, and I'm babbling, but suffice to say I spent a long time doing the interview, watching the show, taking digital pictures (which I'll send to the unofficial Jewel WWW page) and hanging out with Jewel. She has a lot of things she wanted me to pass on to us on the mailing list, and I'll type them all in as she wrote them. Jewel Kilcher to the "Jewel" mailing-list My fellow music lovers- I can't begin to portray to you the feeling of a dream coming true- I know it sounds corny, but it's so true. And useful. I was just a girl who was tired of waitressing and people believed in me and fed me by coming to my shows. Without my friends in San Diego, and now this incredible new group of people across the country I would still be hungry in my van. Now I'm just hungry in a rent-a-car in 48 states in 40 days- but my heart loves it! 24 hours of this a day is better than three hours of waitressing. Sometimes record labels think they sell albums- but they don't- they help, but it's you guys who help me. So often our dreams become our hobbies and it deadens our passions. I love my life and want to thank you al. I know our lives are separate and that none of you have to care about my happiness, but that you do things like taking the time to call radio stations means a lot to me. I hope I can give back as much as I'm given. I wrote a song I'd like to dedicate to you all. It's called "Deep Water." I hope you can all hear it one day. Jewel Kilcher Then she scribbled out a copy of a poem from her journal. It's amazing- the thing is stuffed full of poetry and it's like only the last two months worth! She said she has many many journals of poetry. Also, she never titles her poems- so..... "poem written at the airport cafeteria 6/12/95 after reading a bad press review" I think of the scrutiny and shrink beneath its million eyes has she gained weight? does blue become her? is she losing her light? Never "My I believe her intent is growing, if not her skill" Never noticing deaths Misfigured face in perfection or beauty in the awkward struggle of a new direction We've become fascinated With the fixed We possess all the curiosity of a cul-de-sac as though the honor lied in the mastering of the menial It can not be the end for which we live That is death, But for the struggle that keeps us young Daring to make mistakes Knowing there are none. I'd like to babble on about the show, setlist, etc., but I'm falling asleep. Suffice to say it was amazing, she played about 90 minutes and then was forced to play another 45 of encores. There were around 100 people. She played one amazing song about her helf-brother called "Nikos"- more personal than her normal material. She also broke into a hilarious impression of Dolores O'Riordin (Cranberries) in the middle of "My Own Private God's Gift to Women." She just seems to be getting better and better. All for now. BTW, Jewel said she thinks the list should be called "Everyday Angels". I have complete summer tour info that is a bit different from that at the Unofficial WWW page, and I'll post it when I get back.

We were standing outside the Today Show window when this lady (who warms up the audience) walked up to us and said, "do you want to watch the Rosie O'Donnell show?" (ok, not exact quote, but you get the picture). So my class went to the show. It was her fourth practice show. Since Jewel was on the first one, I did not see her. In summary: yes, I saw the rosi show live, and no, I didn't see Jewel on it. 3 hours til "big" IRC meeting...

Other artists mentioned include Fugees and Joan Osborne. Here's part of the article: With spirituality on the rise, new notions of the divine are cropping up all over; not just in infomercials and cheesy airport paperbacks but in pop songs as well. Here, with the help of Mark McClain Taylor, a professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, we examine some recent instances of divine intervention. Jewel: Who Will Save Your Soul Lyric: "We're so worried about saving our souls / Afraid that God will take his toll / That we forget to begin." Spiritual Crisis: Why does organized religion, with its cloying rules and ceremonies, actually stunt our spiritual growth. Metaphysical Analysis: "Established religion in the U.S. is in a downward plunge, according to all the indicators, even as there's an incredible inter-religious spiritual vitality rising across the continent. Ironically, the Jesus movement itself was spirituality pitched against an established religious order that had really held a lot of people back from meaningful spiritual inquiry." Artists Resolution: The unexamined soul, Jewel decides, is not worth saving. - -Aaron Walker Email address: lazlo@wavefront.com Home Page: http://www.wavefront.com/~lazlo/ ------------------------------ From: plus@seark.net (plus) Date: Thu, 18 Jul 1996 15:15:06 -0500 Subject: Re: Jewel in Washington? >P.S.
