I've noticed that alot of second albums surpass the first one, examples escape me at this late hour, and I've wondered if this is because the distributing company or producer or whoever has more control over the first album than the artist and that this changes with the second album, mainly because a second album usually means that there is an audience. So the question is how much input did Jewel have on the first album and did it change much for the second one?

Does anyone who met him at JewelStock think he bears a bit of a resemblance to Billy Zane, super-stud actor of "The Phantom" semi-fame? And Tom, I saw a couple pictures of you on Gerrit's page. My memory for faces is absolutely horrendous, but there IS a slight chance I met you at the Bimbo's show. Probably not though, because this guy looked like he came alone, whereas you had a veritable EDA entourage. If you yacked with a guy with long blonde hair, that was me.

I would like to add something as EDA business. We need an official, authorized, approved by EDA's and Jewel MASCOT. My nomination is FUZZY. A while back I planned for this moment. Robb and I discussed Fuzzy Jr.'s. Robb has done everything possible to push Fuzzy along. Fuzzy proved himself at JSand I am sure has Jewels vote. What do you all think? Lets get a second from someone and bring it up for a vote. 1.Bats - Used by adults to play a kids game. Also may be used as a weapon, therefor would not be in harmony with the EDA's feeling for others. 2.Ribbons - Used by to many people as a symbol of belonging. An example is when every actor and rock star comes out wearing ribbons at award shows and do very little else to for the cause but wear the ribbons. 3.Angels - Almost a good idea but many people may get the wrong message thinking we are a religious cult. In spirit we will always be Every Day Angels. 4.Fuzzy - Proven at JewelStock to attract large crowds. When left along he was very quickly guarded by EDA's. When he was first seen by Jewel, he was brought up on stage and given a big kiss. We could all adopt our own Fuzzy Jr and have him proudly displayed in our cars rear deck for all to see. At concerts we would hold him up high over our heads so everyone knew we are EDA's. Also I vote that we don't use the term Jewelheads to describe ourselves. Deadheads are OK but now people that follow Rush Limbaugh call themselves Dittoheads. Igor igorwas@smartcitysys.com ------------------------------ From: Victor Igor Wasylczenko Date: Tue, 30 Jul 1996 00:03:51 -0700 Subject: NJC:Vodka We were in Vancouver for a vacation many years back. My kids were 12 and 14 then. At breakfast, as we were all giving our orders to an Asian waiter, he stopped to get Erik's order. Erik said, "two eggs with bacon". The waiter responds with a very heavy accent, "wan scramble". Erik sounding very confused and says, "no I want them both scrambled, why would I only want one scrambled". The waiter left embarrassed and a little angry. My son meant no harm and the waiter tried his best to be understood. This is how I felt when I responded in what seemed to a lot of you as a very uncharactoristic Igor. Without quoting my response or the EDA's name, you may recall it was about some heavy Vodka drinking. My intention was to use a little "tough love" or "scared straight" approach. But was this any of my business you ask. Its all our business not to close our eyes and hearts to someone asking for help. As Dean said, "some of my mileage" may have given me some insite to the writers remarks. Dean also said that I took the chance that I could alienate many of you against me. I knew that and I took the chance. My intention was good. From what I wrote, my hope was that he would get private e-mail from many of you. I wanted him to know that he had friends and that I truelly care. I did follow up with my own private e-mail and got a response that I liked. He didn't take my punches laying down and threw some of his own at me. I only ask that he keep writing. Hey I can take a punch.

Some wine, maybe a picinic at the pond, a little theater...Gettin' love at JS was easy compared to this, now I'm not calling Jewel easy, far from it, she told me later (that's why I was not at the Pinecrest bar with all the other EDAs) that she knows what she likes if you get my drift.

No, I wasn't in a hundred-car pileup, given a proctological examination, or forced to listen to a live Bush album. No, I listened as my stereo did a hi-speed dub of Jewel's May 18 Boston show. Now, I have never EVER liked "Alvin & the Chipmunks," disqualifying me from complete participation in my generation. So when the dubbing process reduced Jewel to Theodore on a combination of helium, speed, and various other unpleasant chemicals I was hypnotized by an absolutely mind-killing aural display. Miss Kilcher is already so unbearably adorable during her concerts; my heart does its Thumper imitation whenever I see her. And Alvin and the gang were always precious, so much so that I often became violently ill when their album commercials popped up on TBS. Give Jewel "The Chipmunk Treatment" and you are locked into the ultimate in cynicism-demolishing charm; the Kilcher Laugh gone Infinite RPM blasts your chest open, from which a swarm of Carebears emerges rather than muscle and sinew. As you lay there paralyzed by your sudden Absence of Spine, the Carebears dance their happy dance, tossing Skittles in the air and shooting sparkling rainbows out of their eyes. And you are utterly helpless, absorbing the crushing cuteness beyond all emotional capacity. Once the dub-job is over, you remain paralyzed and prone as your brain reorganizes your pureed divisions of thought. Your only reward upon regaining consciousness is thousands of free Skittles laying around. In the final analysis, I think I have approximated Christopher Walken's recorded flight from Purgatory to Heaven from the end of "Brainstorm," such is the power of Jewel Kilcher overdriven through high technology. This may also be roughly equivalent to the transformations the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge endured at the conclusions of their tales. For me, the effect shall most certainly be temporary, and I'll be joyfully bah-humbugging plenty by tomorrow. Go ahead, Jewel! Rob me! Take my food! I DARE ya! I mentioned earlier that Gerrit reminded me of Billy Zane. Until he puts on his blue hat. Then the Purple Pieman of Strawberry Shortcake infamy comes to mind. I don't remind anyone of anybody, which is why I empathize so deeply with Zartan's brother Zandar, whose ability to be forgotten extended all the way to having chameleonic skin. I'm not THAT mutated yet, but I'm working on it. A few more hi-speed dubs should do it. - - Carter "Carebears Are NOT My Friends!"
