For the folks that live in the NY/NJ area, 92.3 k-rock is giving away tickets to see Jewel, Fiona Apple, and the Wallflowers Unplugged tapings all this weekend. I have tried unsuccessfully for an hour today at work.. but no luck. They havent mentioned any dates for the tapings yet, but if Jewel's taping is the 7th and i win tickets some lucky EDA is going to get to go since i will be stuck up in Albany taking the CPA exam. Pray that the taping is the 9th!!!

This is my first major Jewel content, like, ever. Anyway... mY little brother gets this little kids magazine, Disney Adventures. He was reading it today, when all the sudden he said "hey it's Jewel!!" I was like, "gimme that!!" when I finally got a chance to read it, I decided to send it to y'all. Pieces of Jewel Talk about multi-talented! She sings, plays guitar, writes poetry (which becomes song lyrics) and--get this--yodels! Jewel, 23, has come a long way from singing in coffehouses. Her 1994 debut album, Pieces of You, has become hugely popular, earning her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. We jumped at the chance to chat with her before a recent concert. On Writing: "I don't exist unless I write. I started keeping track of my writing when I was 16. It's a bad habit to write on anything you find, because you'll lose it. I travel with books to write in. All my books are in a pile--I have about two feet's worth." Female chart-toppers she'd love to pal around with: "Gwen Stephani is very sweet. I like Natalie Merchant. And I love Tori Amos because she believes in magic--and she's an incredible writer." The name game: "When I was in eighth grade, I changed mine to Sandy (!! I've never heard this before!), because I felt like I stuck out too much. And at that age, you don't want to have a weird nickname. I changed it back pretty quickly though." Good luck charms: "I travel with a leather pouch filled with stones, things I've picked up along the way and things that remind me of home." Dream duet: "Ella Fitzgerald. I taught myself to sing while listening to her." Jewel's Faves: Snack: apple Jewel: turquoise Show: "The Simpsons" Sport: surfing (Michele Ernst) THE END wasn't that just so cool? I thought so. Oh, and I have one more question. I've been on the list since October, but I quit for about a month. Does that mean I need to start all over on Newbie-hood, or am I now a big grown up EDA? I think the Newbie waiting period is 2 months, no? I forgot to celebrate my ascention to full fledged EDAness, so I'll just party about it now. **party!!** toujours CJ I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins, and I swear to God it won't happen again --Jewel "Sometimes it be that way" Scwenchville: http://www.bmtc.net/~lehmann/cj.html lehmann@bmtc.net * peachfuzz27@hotmail.com * gloriana13@hotmail.com peace * love * lythe ...on the advice of my attorney this sig file has no comment at this time... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 May 1997 18:49:56 -0400 (EDT) From: LtjgMacC@aol.com Subject: Rugburns@ Toledo...

The Rolling Stone with Jewel on the cover just made it to the island (BTW, I don't think there's a blood bank here but I'm going to check. I know there's no ice hockey -- there's not even a rink or a swimming pool. One day...) Anyway, I'm with everyone else in thinking that the Rolling Stone article is not as bad as our worst fears. It was probably good of Lenedra to warn us so that the reality was softer. (It's easy for me to say since I'm not mentioned in the article!) Jewel's comment about Larry's poster was affectionate and, taken in context, I think she's being complimentary -- that she and her fans are real. Some parts of the article and Jewel's story were quite funny in her innocent way (e.g. the guy who let her take showers being a snake). And the writer, too much playing the city slicker, obviously liked Jewel once she overcame her cynicism. I think most people will find Jewel appears loveable and honest - -- unlike many celebrities. My primary criticism with the article (other EDAs have articulated other problems), aside from the unnecessary and one-sided excursions into the territory of Atz and Lenedra (also called Nedra for those who ask), concerns the writer's appraisal of Jewel's artistic abilities. It seems everyone recognizes Jewel's voice as a beautiful and amazing instrument, but too many mainstream journalists, and certainly the Rolling Stone writer in this article, don't give Jewel enough credit for her music and lyrics. I listen to lots of music, of all types, and I've always enjoyed great lyricists. And Jewel is great. Sure she has fun and silly songs like the Cold Song but anyone who's familiar with Bob Dylan's recordings when he still had fun on record will remember tunes like I Shall Be Free and I Shall Be Free No. 10 ("I got a woman, she's so mean/ She sticks my boots in the washing machine/ Sticks me with buckshot when I'm nude/ puts bubblegum in my food...") or Woody Guthrie's Car Song ("let's go ridin' in my car, car/ let's go ridin' in my car, car..." - followed by all sorts of mouthed car noises). So what's with all the crap (excuse me) about her being a "teenage girl" as if that's a put-down. (As well, rocks' most revered poet songwriters each have produced some deadly duds that were no fun at all. Out of respect people just don't mention them anymore. There's nothing wrong with a decent burial.) Jewel's Amen is a brilliant poem/song -- its lyrics are as powerful as those written by any other artist. (I won't quote Jewel's lyrics because we all know them...) I don't like to compare one artist to another as each of the good ones is unique, but I would say that of all the songs written in the wake of Kurt Cobain's death (including Neil Young's "Sleeps With Angels" and Patti Smith's "About a Boy") none carries the emotional impact of Amen. So, I just know that, in time, the superficial view of Jewel's artistry will evolve into a more appreciative recognition that, along with with a powerful angelic (which doesn't mean airy) voice, she's an an exceptionally gifted and talented lyricist and tune-smith. Here's to the weekend, Adrian ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 02 May 1997 19:58:34 EDT From: jewlieb@juno.com (Julie Bristol) Subject: Chipmunks can't sing Jewel Hi! Just thought I'd add a little levity to your day. I've been recording angel food for list members, and I have it on the speed dubbing thing, so it sounds like Alvin of the Chipmunks instead of Jewel, and, well, it just doesn't work!!! So to add to who could cover Jewel, and/or who Jewel could cover, the Chipmunks definitely do not belong on that list!! :) I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

She looks really different in that one. By the way, I love the permed hair!! =) Mark - --- Inside my heart there's an empty room.

Just wondering who is going to the Lilith Fair at Deer Creek in Noblesville on Aug. 8. I'm planning on going and it would be great to meet some of you guys. Well, just wondering. I can't wait to see Jewel, and one of my other favorties Lisa Loeb. Too bad Fiona Apple isn't going to be there, but I wouldn't miss seeing Jewel for the world. While I'm at it. I'm curious about something. My favorite song on POY is Near You Always, and I really think that Jewel should release that song. Anybody else agree with me? It seems like all my friends who own POY agree with me on this one. Just let me know what you think.
