[Pinballplr@aol.com] Delurk - Just saw Jewel live for first time ["Mark Frabotta (BEST)" Subject: NJC: What's Important? I wrote this silly little essay in response to the question posed, and I was a wee inspired by Richard Butler as well. Richard- you write one mean piece of poetic prose. Thanks! What's Important? Everywhere we go we are confronted by things that are important- but to who? What's important to me may not be important to you. We can ask ourselves what's important, but what does that really mean? Does it mean that what we consider important may not really be important in the big scheme of things? Maybe we're not important at all, or maybe we are but just don't know it yet. Or maybe we need someone else to compare ourselves to to feel important, or maybe we need someone to praise us to feel important. A lot of people take the approach of belittling someone else to feel important, or by comparing themselves to others to believe they're more important. But are they really as important as they feel they are? Does feeling important have anything to do with being important? Is being important really that important to us? Does importance have an importance in itself? Maybe it's not important. What matter does the importance of one thing have over another? Who decides what's more important anyways? Who's to say one person's child is more important than another or another person's heart worth more than another? We lose our way from time to time when we forget what's important to us. Some spend a lifetime looking and never think they find it. We've become a culture seeking fulfillment in physical things and tangibles that often we overlook the everyday gifts that bring us the greatest joys- simple pleasures, clean air, beautiful bird songs, ice cream, good company, kind words, a helping hand, the majesty of nature, the leaves changing colors in fall. We take so many things for granted and concentrate so much on the ownership of things that something that seems to have importance one moment, suddenly loses its luster the next. Perhaps what's truly important to each of us is simpler than we may believe. Perhaps it lies at the foundation of each of our beings, found in the basic structure of who each of us are: our values and beliefs, our hopes and dreams, our ideals and our passions. The world breathes onto us, and in return, each of us breathes onto the world. Life, happiness, and passion are wound around the essence of our beings like white doves flocking about an ancient colossus bathed by the sun of life, a magnificient structure we shape with our own hands each day, every day. We are what we value and what we believe of ourselves. We are capable of as much or as little as we lead ourselves to believe. We have the gift of free-will to decide each day, each hour, each minute who we are and what we will do the coming day and each day after that. We make choices every day, we live everyday, and in grief, a little of us dies every day. But like the surf rolling across the beach of time, the sands of life are replenished with each stroke of the tide. Nature always returns what she takes away. Within each of us is the embodiment of life. We live every day. Each of us has within us hopes and dreams. Next to our hearts we hold our values and our beliefs about the universe. And within our souls we hold our ideals and our passions. Like hundreds of thousands of candles shining in the darkness, we are one in ourselves and one together. Each of us is never quite as alone as we ever think we are. And by living everyday we find meaning in ourselves, meaning in our lives, and meaning in our hearts, however brief each of the flames burning in our souls shines in this vast symphony of stars. On one level we simply are. On another we must also recognize that through living, we also make choices about who we will become. We touch others every day with our words, with our actions, with our joy and our grief. And they in turn touch our hearts in similar ways. The world isn't always perfect, but the choices we make are ours alone, based solidly upon our values and ideals. We may choose every day to be angels, granting wishes, helping those in need, caring, and inspiring others with our words, with our passions, with our hopes and our dreams. We may believe however we wish about the universe- whether God created man or man created God- the choices we make every day are still ours. And subsequently we have the responsibility to look at ourselves each day and ask ourselves who we are and what is it that's truly important to each of us. What's important to me? What should I do differently today that didn't work yesterday? Am I happy with the choices I made? What can I do from this point on about who I am inside to make myself a better person if I'm not happy with who I am now? What do I fear and why? And what is it that's really important in my life? Is acquiring material wealth no matter the cost really that important? Is being seen, worshipped, or placed on a pedestal really that important to make me feel like a worthwhile individual? Is feeling that I fit in a group so important that it's worth sacrificing my ideals, values, and everything I believe? Jewel reminds us to look at ourselves and ask ourselves who we are and what we need to do to be happy. One flame among billions, she shines brightly because of the choices she made so long ago, undoubtedly much of the early seeds of life instilled within by her mother. Life is all about choices, touching others, and being touched by others each day. It's about who we really are. It's about finding our true selves and being honest about what we feel and what we believe every hour of every day. Jewel is a nexus for all of us who call ourselves Every Day Angels. In her, we see a piece of ourselves. She is as much a piece of us as we are a piece of her. And though many will flock to her concerts for other superficial reasons devoid of understanding for her message, many more of us will be reminded of the truths she sings in her passion, be strengthened by the honesty of her words, and be reminded never to give up their dreams. Jewel, you are important to all the Every Day Angels and will always be for a very long time. We all love you and thank you for reawakening pieces of our souls we really didn't always know we had. Never forget who you are or where you came from. They are without a doubt the most beautiful parts of you and always will be. Take care.

Although I'd heard about it months ago, I just today finally got myself a copy of the "MOM-- Music for Our Mother Ocean" benefit cd, which includes the Jewel song "Quiet Warrior." Even though buying a cd for a single song seems kind of excessive (it's what kept me from doing so for so long-- almost all the rest of the tracks seem to be ska and/or punk bands doing surf-music covers), I still recommend checking out this cd since: 1) it's for a good cause, and 2) "Quiet Warrior" is really great and, unlike the songs on recent movie soundtracks, is actually a "real" Jewel song-- written and produced by Jewel. Anyway, if (like me) you've ignored this cd up till now, figuring that it wasn't worth spending the money for one song, take it from a fellow skeptic that it really is worthwhile (and I'm sure once I give it more than a cursory listen-through, some of the other tracks will probably grow on me too). Later, Trent Smith P.S. As for the current feud that seems to be going on here, from the sidelines it seems like both sides are overreacting-- that is, both the folks who are flaming people for writing not-so-urgent-or-informative posts, and the people who are claiming that "the list-community is being torn apart." I've only been here a little over half a year, but in just that time I've seen both threads far more inane than anything posted recently, and also far more bitter and divisive arguments. I don't think what's going on now is particularly remarkable, except for all the people remarking about it (if that made any sense). ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 00:21:04 -0700 From: ehicks@flash.net Subject: Re:NJC: What's Important (my useless ramblings) You know, sitting here thinking about what's important, I know that making myself happy is all I really need. Not that making myself happy is a selfish thing...because in order to make myself happy I can't be selfish, seeing as that makes me unhappy. Did that make any sense? Ok, well this little thought process I'm having right now makes sense to me, but I dont' know if anyone else will understand it. So being happy is the most important thing to me, but i have to do and accomplish many things in order to be happy, so incidentally there are lots of things that are important to me. But the reason that I'm writing this is that well... I know that I need to be happy, but right now in my life I'm just so confused. I don't know what makes me happy. I don't know what is important to me. And the more I think about it, the more confused I get. Reading Albert's essay, I kinda realized that if you think about it long enough, importance turns into a paradox. I don't really know how to explain it. That's probably why I'm so confused. And I'm probably confusing you. But just think about it a while and read the first couple paragraphs of Albert's essay and you might agree w/ me that importance turns into a paradox. Or maybe you won't agree w/ me. Anyway, I think I'm just confused and tired and not making any sense so I'll go to bed now. *hugs* Emily P.S. Even though I might seem kinda depressed by this letter, I'm really not, I promise! I'm just...confused ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 00:25:12 -0700 From: ehicks@flash.net Subject: Re: MOM-- Surfrider Benefit > includes the Jewel song "Quiet Warrior."

Even if you don't like a lot of the bands, there are some good songs on it. For example: I really don't like No Doubt, but their song on there is actually kinda cool! So don't judge a lot of these bands by their cover, so to speak. Quiet Warrior is also one of my fav Jewel songs. *hugs* Emily ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 02:26:31 -0500 From: Gianfranco Covello Subject: NJC:NJC:NJC: really bad movies :-) How many of you out there really enjoy baaaad movies?

Dear Angels, In my short 19 years of existence, I have been through more than a few truck loads of people should have to go through: emotionally abusive parents, a childhood that did not allow room for me to be a kid (my mother had me write up my first resume when I was a sophomore in high school), virtual isolation from classmates (children can be so cruel to each other, and I have always been a very shy person with few few friends even though I have always been friendly with everyone), a near-rape experience, anorexia, bulemia, & other eating disorders, a complete lack of self esteem & self confidence, having attempted to commit suicide, and a LOT more that you can not imagine one person having to go through. With all this, it would be hard for anyone to call me "lucky" or "fortunate" or "priveledged" in any way. But I know that I have been blessed. I know that having survived all this I have been blessed with a strong soul, a soul that can handle anything and everything. And for that I am greatful. Whenever I think about all that I have been through and how far I have come, I think about what has truly been important to me, and I am always guided to the same place: my union with my soul. If I did not have such a huge capacity to feel, then I would not be able to write my poetry. If I did not have such an endless well of caring for other people, then I would not have been able to make my friend, Leslie, feel loved enough that she stopped thinking abuot committing suicide. If I did not have such a tender soul, then I would not be able to find the beauty in everything and in everyone and hold on to that for dear life no matter what other people think or say. And if I did not have such an affectionate and ever-thirsting heart, then I would not constantly have been looking for fulfillment in the relationships I have with people. Without all this, I would not be me, I would not be Stephanie, I would not be unique. I know that I am different from many people my age and that I often feel lonely because I do not fit in with most 19 year old college students. At least at my school, fromwhat I observe, many people care only about their grades, their parties, their J Crew catalogues, and their one night stands. Maybe I am being a bit harsh in my judgment, but it is rare that I find a genuine *person* in my age group. I feel that I am very different, that I am very special, because I do care. It has taken me my whole life, but I have come to understand and accept that it is OK for me to be different, that it is OK for me to be me and do what is important to me. I love all of you. You are all so special, such angels, and you have all been such a blessing and such a miracle to me. Please hold on to what is most important to you. Hold on to it for dear life, for that which is important is what makes us unique, special, and individuals. Hold on to your souls, hold on to each other, and please never lost sight of every emotion, of every feeling, of every tear, of every smile. I love you all Stephanie ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 11:50:13 -0500 (EST) From: "Terrence R.

I know what you mean. Think about these two words: "Foolish Games" Don't think of the song. Just think of those two words. This is the problem. People are too busy seeing "Who can I hurt, Who can I "get with", Who can I cheat, Who can I tease" If everyone could be honest with each other, life would be so much more accomodating.

When i recieved this email this morning it moved me. It made me look at my life, and my existance. I like stephanie have had the same emotional turmoil, and it is something that i never wish upon my worst enemy. I have had all the abuse that i can think of, yet i do not dwell on it. I cannot. I look at my life, and how it has progressed, and i think... "hey, if i hasn't gone through all this woould i be where i am now? That is a 18 year old finishing her first year of university. I belive in destiny, and i think all things happen for one reason. And that reason is unknown. For example, my friend killed himself, and yes i dwelled on the grief and i morned him, but now i realize that that even t has made me be the person that i am. I look at like now as an event that can be taken away at anytime. I think that with all the violence and death that i have seem (weather inflicted on myself or someone i love) that life is to complicated to figure out, and it is to short to think about figuring out what it is. I think the need for me to care has lead me to be the "kind hearted caring person" (so my friend says) that i am. Willing to listen to anyones problems, and help as much as i can. I think that all this pain , and turmoil that i have gone throught has made it so that i can express my love, and feelings of hate (though i do not hate anyone...) in my poetry, and through my caring for all people. I think that we are put on this earth, to live. I think that with all this fighting for people to have "equal rights" is all going carzy. I know we all need the same irights as anyone individual but why can't that just be a given. We are destroyingourselves. Everyone will always have differences, but i think the thing that everyone should recognize is our common bond. And that is to be part of the human race. We will all be part of the human race, and if we do not learn to accept the other differences the human race will cease to exist.

"Dazed and confused" (their are only 2 directors that i hold in a particularly high regard, one of them is Richard linklater) and the "clerks" and "mallrats" series typ eof thing (yes it strangley enough is like a series) (and Kevin smith is the other actor next to the aforementioned Linklater. kevis is in my mind a brilliant writer. although i doubt many people share my vision) oh gosh, its 12:30pm. and i've been up for 2 days staight. and i'm going to a concert tonight... however will i make it through the day? oh well... thirzie =o) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 13:02:55 -0500 (EST) From: Grrly1@aol.com Subject: Re: NJC: About the really bad movies, don't answer.

(well i think so...) and little darlings is just a very good movie (dont let the title fool you its NOT a little kids movie) okay... i REALLY need to sleep... thirza ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 14:13:52 EST From: jewlieb@juno.com (Julie Bristol) Subject: 2 PORTLAND TICKETS!!!!

I sent a message a while ago asking if someone could pick up a poetry book for me.. and a couple people responded, and someone did try (Thanks James!:).. but they were all sold out.. Anyway.. I was wondering if someone who's going to one of the next shows could pick me up a copy or two (for my friend)? I'd LOVE it, and of course pay the $10 + shipping costs.. :) Thanks all, Sarah sarah chipps * What seem like demons trying sarahec@freenet.tlh.fl.us * to strip things away from us http://www.freenet.tlh.fl.us/~sarahec * are actually angels trying to free us. - Eckhart ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 13:33:30 -0600 From: jdfree@students.wisc.edu (Joshua Free) Subject: JEWEL STUFF SOLD Thank you to everyone who responded but the poetry book and t-shirt I had are sold.

Hi all, I don't know about you, but I am really getting sick of all the negativity on this mailing list and I think it is very immature. You all know who you are and you are wasting peoples time, and more importantly, mailbox space!! I don't think Jewel would appreciate it if she found out that people were fighting in something under her name. Would you?? "Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else. Somebody who gave a damn. Somebody more like myself." -JEWEL ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 14:08:57 -0800 From: Farr Shepherd Subject: NJC: Cow II, The revised version.

Reprinted from NEW TIMES/LOS ANGELES 3/27-4/2/97 page 52 - --------------------------------------- J E W E L - -------------- Her life reads like a 40's musical: born in Alaska, where her dad taught her to yodel; attended the Interlochen Arts Academy until she was told to sing opera instead of the blues; moved to San Diego, where she lived in her VW and wowed slurping surfers at a coffee- house called the Innerchange. No wonder she was asked to portray Dorothy in a stage production of THE WIZARD OF OZ last year. JEWEL is the perfect heroine for teenage girls, who admire her poetry, and their boyfriends, who love her voice but can't stop staring at her chest. Her debut, PIECES OF YOU, sounds like a blue-eyed version of Michelle Shocked and Tracy Chapman, with the occassional nod to Joni. Two years after its release, it continues to sell, thanks to her smooth soprano and increasingly glam persona. She's no longer a dressed-down folk singer, poking fun at people who pay for bottled water; now she's a pop star dressed in a take-a-good-look-at-these-nipples gown. Recorded when she was just 19, PIECES OF YOU is a strange hybrid of high studio gloss and crude concert performances. Her voice is effortlessly beautiful when she sticks to vague spirituality ("WHO WILL SAVE YOUR SOUL") and PG romance ("YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME"). She betrays her age more when she strains to be topical or overly poetic. The title track is a well-meaning condemnation of bigotry, but it carries the easy indignation of a flared-nostil teen. And "PAINTERS" is nearly seven minutes of bottled Art, Love, and Loss. She's far more convincing when she sings "So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive/And I'd like to stay that way." I doubt she can still sing those line with a straight face, and it's up to you whether you cheer or mourn her loss of innocence. APRIL 2 & 3 at the WILTERN THEATER, 3790 Wilshire Blvd. The Rugburns open. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 16:06:23 -0500 (EST) From: Pinballplr@aol.com Subject: Mediadome transcript info needed! EDAs, As I was looking through my mailbox I accidentally deleted a message called "Mediadome transcripts." I'd really like it if that person could mail me with the info because I don't have the software needed to listen to the interviews because whenever I put something new into my computer, it explodes!!! Thanks, Pinballplr@aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 13:09:11 -0800 From: "Mark Frabotta (BEST)" Subject: Delurk - Just saw Jewel live for first time 4 months of lurking ends. :-) I attended the Seattle show and saw Jewel for the first time live. I was constantly on the lookout for EDA's wearning their blue ribbons, but I didn't see any of my fellow list fans. Where were you all?? It was, of course, a *wonderful* show. She was on the stage for almost 2 full hours and really seemed to be having a good time. I know some people list all the songs, but I was too busy soaking everything in to keep track. Lenedra got on stage a sang a lulliby - her voice is just as lovely as Jewels! The Rugburns are _super_ live - much better than the CDs I think. The girls in the audience (they were all _so_ young - I felt like a fossil!) were fainting in their seats over Steve. And Stinky, for that matter! It was cool having all the inside information from MrBB, so I could impress my neighbors with my inside knowledge! ;-) Warmest regards, fellow EDAs!
