The list of acoustic songs Hiranya said were recorded included some of her traditional 'coffeehouse' fair; Jessica, 1000 Miles Away for example. So, while she may not be able to do coffeehouses anymore, it seems she hasn't neglected that poetic side of her music. > > Next, (and now I really am asking for flames) does anyone else have a > conflict with a Jewel who sings against the material world (i.e. Little > Sister) but then does appearances on shows like "House of Style."

(I am not even mentioning Michael, that's > her own damn business). I have never thought Jewel sang 'against the material world'. Rather, she sings FOR the spiritual world - inner peace, self-respect, following your dreams. Little Sister is about not having the inner strength to resist that which you know is destructive. > I have come to the conclusion that maybe she still feels insecure about her > success or talent and still feels the need to promote herself on any show > that will have her. Not to belittle these programs, and those who enjoy them She has attributed her current success to touring her ass off. This includes being seen as often as possible in almost any format. Anybody who does what she does is interested in material gain. Nothing wrong with that, it is survival. But she seems to keep her personal convictions uncompromised in the process.

As far as I can remember, she won it last year. OKAY, OKAY,SO I LIKE HER !!! But she'll probably win the best video award anyway, for "Ironic". Too bad Vh-1 doesn't have an award show, Jewel would hava a much better chance...

The one dude was interviewing Carl Lewis and asked how Carl felt about running in the relay. Carl said that he himself does not make those decisions and will be satsified by the decisions of those who make them. The reporter promptly asked him another question about the relay. Carl replied with the same answer. The stupid reporter...not getting the hint asked yet another question about the relay and Carl once again supplied the same answer. FINALLY, the interview was over! Then they interviewed Michael Johnson right after he had run his 200m heat (well with the wonderful news coverage of the Olympics probably an hour later). The reporter asked him about the 400m gold medal. Michael said that the 400 was over and that he was happy about his victory but that it was time to concentrate on the 200. The repoter asked him another question about his celebration for winning the 400. Michael said he was happy with his victory but it was now time to focus on the 200 and he didn't even want to think or talk about the 400. The stupid reporter then asked, "How do you feel making the transition from the 400 to the 200?" (DUH) Michael repeated himself saying that he didn't want to talk about the 400....it is over! If any of you guys get Dave Barry's syndicated sports humor column...check out today's article. It is hilarious!!!!! It is all about the Olympics and the focusing on people overcoming obstacles. If anyone doesn't get it and wants to read the article I will be more than happy to type it out and e-mail it to you privately.

Hmm... > Just an optimistic corollary to a somewhat cynical song... > Duncan, EDA size XL > Oh, boy, a philosophical discussion. First, I don't think of POY as a cynical song. To me, it encourages self-assessment. But, your are right is saying that both love and hate can come from the recognition of ourselves in someone else. And I do believe that love and hate of other comes from our own self-love and self-hate. Many feelings are this way. One of my fears is walking by the "homeless" that station themselves between the U. and down town. It's not a fear of harm. I fear looking into their eyes and seeing myself there. However, in my case atleast, love comes more from seeing in others what we would like to be, not what we are.

He claims to be a fan of Jewel and has her CD and some boots. But every time he sees a picture of her, he say things like 'man what a set', 'good one of her left boob' and 'those could feed my babies'. It bugs he hell out of me. I became a fan of Jewel's before I saw a picture, and the first one I saw made her look like Cyndi Lauper. I guess what I'm saying is yes I think she's beautiful, but that doesn't make her music any better. Besides I could be her father, for pete's sake. So, anyway, not all use old guys are like that.
