Have you ever felt like the Dale Griffith (John Candy) character from Planes, Trains and Automobiles? Do you get the feeling that you are a person who just won't shut up, even when people obviously have no interest in what you say. Or worst, you step over the line, and your words don't come out right and you look like a imbecile. Who was it that said, "Better to stay silent and appear the fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." This is a constant struggle for me. That is why I choose to remain anonymous while asking about the newsletter. When you are constantly judged on the words you say and write, there is a tendency to become real self conscious, which I am. Is my spelling O.K., is the grammar correct, does it make any sense, does the writing flow from thought to thought? I get enough grief every time I step out on my own and try to express myself because the words trip and tumble out of my mouth and fingers. Let alone what I knew I would get when I asked about the newsletter idea. (I kept thinking what Mike and Richard went through when they volunteered to help organize JewelStock.) Maybe some of you can relate, and maybe this post will make some sort of sense by the end. I just wanted make a semi-final note and say I appreciate the support a few of you gave me, and I also appreciate the criticism about how I could have done this better. I am still wanting to see such a project get off the ground and I am glad that something is well underway. I will look to lend a hand however I can. Well if this post isn't out right pathetic, at least it is therapeutic, _____________ ------------------------------ From: Barnabus Heckabus?

Riki Rachtmann was lots of fun to listen to when he did "Love Lines" with Dr. Drew, a radio program dealing with issues like addiction, body piercing, sex, abuse, etc. It started in L.A. on KROQ, but I believe that some other parts of the nation (including San Diego, I know) also get it now. Riki now has his own radio program on KLSX on weekday afternoons, and "Love Lines" is now done by Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. By the way...

You all suprised me with how well you > recieved Lenedra at JS, a parent, besides manager of our Jewel. First of all, I apologize for taking so looonnngggg to reply to this. I hadn't read a digest since the 18th ( For various stupid reasons ), and I'm now in the process of reading them ALL. I'm up to #402 !! ( WOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ) And loving it lemme tell ya :) Second of all, I am one of those youngin's. :) ( A whooping 16, but with the right chlothes and some make-up, I can pass fo 21;) ) And I agree whole heartedly with you. One of the forst things I noticed upon visting Greg Dunn's www page, was how good of friend's he and his daughter are, and that they had a common intresst in music, and OH MY GOD THEY GO TO CONCERTS TOGETHER. I guess I'm not the only one who does that after all. =) I was supposed to go see Jewel with both of them, but those plans were cancelled, due to my sister having a softball game. ( They always pick her over me, ALWAYS < grumble grumble > .) Anyhoo, I've turned them both into Jewel fans, as if they had a choice. ( I played PoY so many times on the living room stereo they knew all the words whether they wanted to or not. ) But my parents and I due make each other fans of musical artists. In fact I'm responsible for getting my mom back into Rock n' Roll, she went through this country phase, and listening to country everywhere you go in car is hell if you don't like it. And without my parents, how would I ever know of such wonderful bands like Little Feet !! In fact I think I'll listen to Dixie Chicken right now !! ( Some of you are laughing hysterically right now, and others of you have no idea what I'm talking about) Anyhoo, I agree with Igor whole heartedly. I also seem to have lost my point totally, but who cares ? ;) Oh yea I forgot !! I also discoverd reading a message from Mikey, that I'm not the only Bad Religion fan in this list. ( A semi-famous punk band. ) So i'm also not the only one with extremlty varied taste in music. ( Lemme see, in this post alone I've mentioned Jewel, Little Feet which is southern rock, and Bad Religion which is punk. Pretty good for not trying ) ;) ~Amber It's been a year since she ran away, I guess that guitar player could really play, And she always loved to sing along. Then one night in Memphis, at the Commodore Hotel I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well, And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song, And all the boys there at the bar, began to sing along.

That way, i will win out either way :) No, i just wish we could have both versions somehow. It really bugs me that there are going to be some "lost studio tracks" that won't be included on the album and Atlantic will have to discover 20 years from now in their safe and do a special light-cartridge release (that will be the medium 20 years from now, with wavelength encoding instead of lands and groves on the CDs we have now ;) that will cost about $200 due to inflation and oh you get the idea. :) Seriously, part of me is glad the "punk" version will be on the CD (not verified, just my speculation) since we do have an old recording of the slow one (which i treasure). I'm very curious as to how she pulled it off. Did she have to add a verse, or is it shorter? Oh yah, Kathy Lee IS annoying. I think we all got overexposed looking for Jewel.

Jeff ------------------------------ From: Sinjin@ecn.com Date: Wed, 31 Jul 1996 21:20:49 GMT Subject: JS: Sinjin's Story Here's my version of JewelStock, in case you give a damn. My flight to New York was delayed for about 7 hours (delay in LA and Chicago combined) because of bad weather and the TWA crash, but I know it could have been worse. So 7 hours behind schedule I make it to New York...to bad my luggage didn't. Guess I'll have to wear these shorts and 2 shirts for the whole week, oh boy. Anyway, my luck finally takes a good roll as the rental car company didn't have any sub-compact cars like I had ordered so they upgraded me for free to a 4 door Mercury Mystique (I think I returned it with all 4 doors, but I'm not sure...). I started off towards Steve's Campground and was soon lost. When I stopped to ask directions, for some reason everyone know I was from LA, weird. Back on track, I was looking for Al's Restaurant and Phoenician Pharmacy. Well, turns out there were 2 Al's Restaurants, the first one was across the street from a Pharmacy. The directions said to turn right at Al's and left at the Pharmacy which, being across the street, was physically impossible. Nevertheless, I sure tried. After getting myself even more lost, I called Steve's Campground and talked to the lady in charge. I hung up only after we managed to completely confuse each other. I eventually did what no man has ever done before, stopped to ask directions (please don't report me to the Male Ego Police!) and the locals guided me to the second Al's restaurant ("You're from LA, aren't you?"...how'd ya guess?) I finally make that ever important right at Al's and as I'm hanging a left at the Pharmacy, I see a big blue hat walking the street (yes, Harris, someone was wearing it, the hat wasn't walking all by itself). I recognized Gerrit immediately from the Del Mar show and met the other Angels, and in a moment I will hold sacred for the rest of my life I finally saw Fuzzy! We talked (but they never told me they ate breakfast yet, and I hadn't had a real meal since lunch Tuesday...this being Thursday morning). After meeting our hero the Race Car Driver ("Eeeeoowwwwaaaahhh!", "Milk, it does a body good!") we went back to the campground and I met the man in charge of the site. OLD MAN: "What kinda car is this?" SINJIN: "Mercury Mystique." OLD MAN: "Ford?" SINJIN: "Mercury." OLD MAN: "Ford?" SINJIN: "Mercury!" OLD MAN: "Ford?" SINJIN: "MERCURY!" OLD MAN: "Ford?" SINJIN: "Yeah, it's a ford..." I took a shower and we headed to the barn to meet the other angels. While waiting for the concert we played frisbee and in probably the darkest moment of my trip, I met Dennis Harris. Here's the story of how I met him: I was minding my own business playing frisbee when someone started talking smack about my game. He was sitting down and my shot was blocked by 2 people standing in front of him. I had about 6 inches of room on either side of the frisbee to throw in, but I still took the shot. The frisbee past right between the 2 standing people without even grazing them and nailed Harris on the shoulder. I was a little surprised though, with a mouth that big it's amazing I didn't hit it ;) After I got all sweaty and smelly we all crammed outside the door jocking for a good seat. Team Smelly decided that we could easily handle 15 year old Rainbow Bright and The Artist Formerly Known as MEFAN and push them to the end of the line, but in the spirit of Jewelstock we resisted and let them keep their spot ahead of us in line. While we sweated outside, we saw Crunch grinning at us from inside the airconditioned barn listening to Jewel's soundcheck. That's when Team Smelly started talking about a human sacrifice... Eventually we got in and saw the show and were blown away and I better not get in too much with the show cuz I'm liable to ramble on forever and start crying and singing "Memories". Just suffice to say Jewel Rocked Woodstock! Outstanding songs: Carnivore (as always!), Satellite (Mark shredded on guitar), Nikos (even the Mighty Sinjin was getting misty eyed!!!), Jewel's poetry, Lenedra's duet and solo, Catch a Cold With Me, and Amen...hell, the whole damn thing kicked donkey! After the show we swarmed Jewel and I got to talk to her and we all got pictures of her! That was way cool of her, too bad she couldn't make it to the after show party at the hotel. Some of us went to the after show party, I didn't stay long and eventually went to the campsite and got sleep. Some jerky woke me up early (early, Sinjin West Coast time) for a group picture. I put on the only clothes I had available, the ones I wore at the party the night before so if you see the goup photo that's why I look like I'm about to go on a date. We spent about 3 hours looking for food, and drove all the way to Woodstock. Then we turned around and went back to the first diner we saw down by the campground. After grub I showered and we headed to the barn. Some of the guys at the campground had the brilliant idea to take a pic of Sinjin showering and use it as the cover to the JewelStock Box Set with a strategically placed guitar, but no one wanted to be the poor soul who had to see me nude to take the shot :) At the concert it was rainy so we didn't play frisbee and Team Smelly was disbanded. We talked outside and eventually went in and again Jewel blew the roof off the joint (which is why they needed the $15 for the repair fund!) Outstanding songs: Again Nikos and pretty much everything she played with her band. But the highlight was Satellite and DEEP WATER (which like 5 of us shouted out when she asked for requests). After the concert we went to the hotel to party, did you know that EVERYTHING in Woodstock closes before midnight?? I couldn't even get a pizza! After hanging around we went back to the campground and went to sleep. Several of us went to breakfast and said our goodbyes before they headed back home and I hung around New York for a while (my flight back wasn't till Sunday, and this was Saturday AM). I decided to drive to Manhattan, and it only took me 5 hours :) I've been lost before, but I think I set the record this time hehehe. Well when I finally made it to Manhattan I parked the car and wandered around till about 2 AM, then picked up my car and nearly had a heart attack: $30 for parking!!!!!! And I thought the toll roads sucked! Well I sprung the rental and headed back to Newburgh airport, stopping halfway to get some sleep cuz I was swerving and I heard the story of the 2 Angels who crashed the night before. When I got to the airport, I ran into Adam and we said Hi and I flew home. I almost missed my connecting flight from Chicago to LA cuz I was alseep, luckily I woke up just as they were boarding. Well that's it for me, sorry it was so long and so late! I really loved the concert and enjoyed meeting all of you! Hope to see some of you at Nashville and New Hampshire! * * \____/ / JS \ "Powerbars and volleyball..." \ 96 / Jewel- "Satellite" |__| / \ / \ ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V1 #434 ***************************
