Me, I liked the picture at the beginning of the article. At first I was a bit taken aback, "That looks absolutely nothing like Jewel." I said. In fact, I thought it was another of those stupid ads that show some pretty face and you have no idea what the product is until you read the small print. But then I realised this was the beginning of the article and that was really Jewel. But then after reading the article (Did anyone else noticed the tail of the article was continued next to an ad for an oral sex video? This is why I don't subscribe to this magazine.) Anyway, it occured to me, why does Jewel always have to look like "Jewel"? When I looked at the picture again I saw it as a very beautiful picture. No revealing low-cut blouse like all the other pictures in the mag. A serious, yet peacefull look on her face. But mostly, a tiara of flowers on her head. It's a very earthy picture, and that's what I find most appealing about Jewel -- her naturalness. - - - -- Blessed Be - ---pat "We are going to give a little something, a few little years more, to socialism, because socialism is defunct.

If it is, can someone post some info on where and when we're going to meet, how we'll recognize each other (I'm a newbie and this will be my first Gathering - though if I walked around the park singing YWMFM really loud someone will stop me) :-) I just checked out the Lilith Fair info for the New York City area. Looks like Jewel may not be playing at the Wantaugh, NY or Holdelm, NJ venues. That's a shame, but I still intend to go because it's still going to be a kickass concert! I also found out this morning that tickets for Jewel playing at Jones Beach, NY (for 8/31) will be going on sale this Saturday. I guess I'll be campimg out for this one. If anyone intends to do the same let me know. Maybe we can make an event out of it... Oh, my the way, my girlfriend no longer thinks that I belong to some cult. However she still does think that I'm really, really weird. I guess I'll take what I can get... Take care y'all and I hope to meet some of you guys really soon.

Its far from finished, but since I've been bombarded with many questions since the RS article & the FAQ is ridiculously out of date, I've decided to post whats been done so far in "very rough draft" form. (Quite a bit is purposely left out because I've yet to confirm accuracy on other parts of it.) I want to aknowledge Neal Copperman & Jeff Hanson who began writing this early Jewel history a few years ago. Among other information they provided, both were regulars at The Innerchange, so they are able to tell about it first hand. Their previous work was sent out in the FAQ & that was the basis on which this developed. I hope this helps all the new people & I know theres a few things even the most dedicated fans didn't know, so I hope you all find it somewhat educational. Again, forgive my lame writing style. This is simply a rough draft. Enjoy! Alan(MrBB) What happened prior to "Pieces Of You"? (a continous effort) by Copperman, Hanson & Bershaw Jewel Kilcher was born May 23, 1974 in Payson,Utah where Atz & Lenedra (Jewel's parents) were living while Atz attended college. (Jewel also has an older brother Shane & a younger brother Atz) Upon graduation from college, Atz & Lenedra moved thier family back to Homer Alaska where Jewel & her brothers were raised on an 800-acre homestead. Jewel's parents became a popular Alaskan folk singing duo, well known regionally as Atz & Nedra Kilcher. They released their 1st self produced primarily acoustic album in 1977 entitled "Early Morning Gold". This album consists of original Alaskan folk songs written in collaboration or by Atz alone. Here's an edited excerpt written by Allen Reeves, who at the time of the release was President of the Anchorage Convention & Visitors Bureau: "The first time I ever heard Atz & Nedra Kilcher sing, I was struck by the honesty & simplicity of their beautiful folk music---and with the fact they are making history. You see, there has never before really been any Alaska folk music. Oh, there is ample ethnic music, but no real folk music. Not until Atz & Nedra put verse & melody to the spirit of the "Great Land" The Kilchers paint a pure portrait of Alaska." In 1978 Atz & Nedra released their second album titled "Born & Raised on Alaska Land". This featured more production & again featured all originals with the exception of a song written by Atz's sister(Jewel's Aunt),Mossie Davidson (who also released Alaskan folk albums regionally). In 1980 at the age of six Jewel began accompanying her parents performing for locals & tourists in Alaskan villages, clubs & hotels. Her earliest musical influences consisted primarily of the music of her family and a particular fascination with Ella Fitzgerald. Lenedra, being very spiritually guided, developed Jewel's spiritual side & raised her with a sense of magic & an appreciation & deep respect for the Indian Way. Jewel moved to Hawaii in the early 80s & lived with relatives while attending school. She regularly avoided being beat up & the prejudice toward her "being different" by yodeling (a talent she was mastering from Atz). A few years later Jewel's parents divorced & she remained with her father & brothers in Homer. Writing became Jewel's expression of choice since she found herself unable to verbalize many of her strong feelings at this young age. She later became enamored by South American poets Pablo Naruda, Octavio Paz & Giaconda Belli. She also absorbed philosophers Kant, Plato, Dostoevsky (& many others) as well as sensual writers such as Henry Miller & Anais Nin. At age 14, Jewel was "adopted" into the native Indian culture. She participated in a ceremony which included a "talking circle". During this she realized that although she had written for years, she was verbally speechless. Her "adopted" uncles took her for a walk & told her "you have a gift to give the world". She then began a conscious effort to speak more from her heart & and began articulating her feelings. During this time she continued to perform with her father as a duo & later in a trio called "New Directions" which featured Jewel,Atz & their friend Suzanne Little. It was over the course of this decade (1980-1990) that Jewel developed her vocal ability & her experience at working a crowd. Atz was a wonderful storyteller & Jewel absorbed his knack for "fun & interesting between song banter". Her father also instilled an extremely strong work ethic & taught Jewel what a professional musicians life is all about. During this time, repatiore consisted of many Atz Kilcher originals with Jewel singing harmony & background vocals. However, Jewel did take lead vocals on popular cover songs of the day such as "Angel From Montgomery" by John Prine, "Me & Bobby McGee" by Kris Kristofferson, the theme from "The Rose", etc, as well as many others. In High School, Jewel began to accompany herself on guitar. Her junior and senior years of high school were spent at Interlochen Fine Arts Academy in Michigan. Here she studied sculpture, art, music & dance. Interlochen is an expensive private school, and 70% of Jewel's first year tuition was paid for by a vocal scholarship. The remainder of the expenses were raised at what turned out to be Jewel's first solo concert. The citizens of Homer were supportive enough to cover the rest of the first year tuition. It was at Interlochen that Jewel's songwriting ideas began germinating. She began to build up a small repatoire of songs. She made a few demo recordings of eleven of these songs. These eleven demos consisted of her very first songwriting attempts. Other than "Don't"(then refered to as "Waltz") & "Dance Between Two Woman"(then simply titled "Dance"), the other 9 songs remain unreleased. Three of those nine (Billy, Can't Have My Soul[NOT WWSYS] & Money) continued into Jewel's early repatoire. The remaining half dozen being abandoned in favor of many new songs (including "Who Will Save Your Soul"). During Spring Break she joined Lenedra & fell in love with San Diego. The following year she was awarded a full scholarship & returned to Interlochen for her senior year. Upon graduation in the summer of 1992 (& after a brief stay in Boulder, Co,) Jewel again joined Lenedra in San Diego, which she now calls home. Jewel worked a variety of jobs including waitressing, but generally lost them when her interest in chatting with the customers surpassed her desire to do the actual job. Eventually she decided that working unfulfilling dead-end jobs was an unbearable way to live. With Lenedra's encouragement they moved out of their apartment, into their vans, to pursue their dreams. With lots of peanut butter, carrot sticks, and a guitar, Jewel settled down to write more songs. Around this time of new songwriting activity, she became very close to local songwriter, Steve Poltz & his band The Rugburns. They shared songs with each other & began collaborating on material. Steve taught Jewel how to better work within a "verse/chorus/verse" structure & his influence balanced her very serious writing style with his more humorous & spontaneous style.(They still periodically collaborate.) Her new ability to churn out songs was revealing a prolific talent at songwriting. She regularly debuted new songs to friends & this endeared her to the few who heard them. In late1993 & early 1994, she began performing sporadic gigs to sparse crowds at various area coffeehouses including one in Pacific Beach called The Innerchange. Word started to spread, and eventually she had a regular Thursday night spot there and an ever growing audience. Her name began to show up in the local press and she landed a few choice opening spots. She took an extended trip back to Homer at the end of the year, and things really took off when she returned to San Diego in early 1994. At the start of the year, the coffeehouse was roughly 60% full, and a mere $3 got you a 3-4 hour set of original material, with the only exception being an occasional cover of Tracy Chapman's "Behind the Wall". Becoming a prolific, versatile songwriter, Jewel still regularly debuted a handful of new songs at each show. These shows were a hotbed of local acoustic talent, and Jewel was regularly joined by frequent collaborator Steve Poltz. Fellow Rugburns Rob Driscoll and Gregory Page also joined them, as well as other local musicians including Joy Eden Harrison, Cindy Lee Berryhill and Byron Nash. Jewel also saw her first "official release" as a participant on 99X's sampler of area talent called "Saint Doug" around this time. She included a take of "Angel Needs A Ride". Everyone who saw her must have told five friends, since each week the crowd continued to grow. Soon, people were being turned away, while a few hardy souls could be seen staring through the large windows at the packed house inside. For extra money, Jewel put together a tape that she briefly distributed herself called "Shiva Diva Doo Wop" which contained the songs "1000 Miles Away", "She Cries","Painters" & "My Own Private God's Gift To Woman".The tape came with a j-card insert that also featured an original drawing by Jewel. Income was also supplimented by selling posters of original artwork by Lenedra which featured a blue background with a purple angel on it & the words "Participate In Miracles". The purple angel glowed in the dark & they sold for $5. The concept behind these posters was to buy two of them, keep one for yourself & post the other in a place you felt could benefit from its message. Around this time, the news of the young (19!) singer had gotten to L.A., and record executives started driving down to sleepy San Diego to catch the shows. They immediately recognized the quality of what they were seeing, and soon the limos were directed towards Jewel's van/home. She was wined & dined by various companies only to be dropped off back at her van. :-) After a brief courtship, she was signed to Atlantic Records by Jenny Price in March of 1994. They started making the trek up to L.A. looking for producers and musicians to record with. The advance on the record enabled Jewel to rent a house with Lenedra, & to purchase a new car (a used Volvo) and a new guitar (a steal due to an imperfection in the finish). All this added exposure continued to draw crowds to The Innerchange, which first added a second show, and then upped the admission price to $5. By this time, Jewel had written over a hundred songs. On July 28 and 29, 1994, a sound crew descended on The Innerchange to record 4 sets of Jewel on her home stomping grounds. All the live recordings on "Pieces of You" come from those two sessions. The remainder of POY was recorded at Neil Young's Redwood Digital Studio at his Broken Arrow Ranch in Woodside,CA during the following month. Atlantic prepared to help promote the album with a number of promotional items. The most popular of these is a CD called "Save The Linoleum". This was released to radio stations to promote the single "Who Will Save Your Soul" & featured both live & studio outtakes from the POY recordings. Included were unreleased versions of "My Own Private God's Gift To Woman", "I'm Sensitive","Race Car Driver", & "Flower". Also an EPK (electronic press kit) was produced for press release along with a contest to win a trip to San Diego. This EPK included a videotape called "Jewel & Mike Take San Diego". It featured an interview done by local DJ Mike Halloran & a brief tour through Jewel's life at the time. Besides interviews, footage included a tour of The Innerchange, the spot where she parked her van every night, surfing, hilarious footage inside Steve Poltz' apartment along with an impromptu duet of YWMFM & a home video of WWSYS. An official video was also produced for WWSYS for release to the video channels. Jewel began 1995 doing what is termed a "residency tour". January was spent rotating 5 nights a week from 5 California venues. Febuary repeated this procedure but hit upon a rotation of Washington DC, Philadelphia, Cambridge & NYC. It wound up in NYC at Ludlow Street Cafe on 2/28/95, the same day Atlantic released Jewel's album "Pieces Of You". Following the NYC gig, she flew back to California. She then performed both an early & late show to friends & local supporters in celebration of the albums release at the Cosmopolitan Theater in San Diego. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 May 1997 16:31:47 -0400 From: William Chinda Subject: Rolling Stone Finally got my copy of RS. It's quite good, a whole lot better than I expected. Quite funny as well; the part about the babbling boy at the zoo was pretty funny. The stuff on Atz was a little disturbing, but at least it was short and small compared to the rest of the article. It was also quite interesting that RS put the article opposite an ad for sex education :) W.

I will spend a week checking the perimeter for any possible frisbee incursions. Even though it has been over a year since the "Frisbee" incident, it is best not to take chances. Should I find any possible problems, I will airlift Sinjin's crack frisbee death squad in for ops. Having been trained by Sinjin at last year's Jewelstock, both at Ken's Campgrounds and the actual concert event, I feel up to the job. With that in mind, adieu.

Hi angels--- This is for those of you that have contacted me about going to Scranton-Lilith Fair. Josh asked me if we were all going to have sort of a pre-concert gathering, whether it be the day we are leaving for it, or any other day before it. I said that it hadn't been mentioned, but thought that it was a great idea! We could plan something for all of us to get together beforehand to do something--what I don't know! Please e-mail me and give me your ideas and maybe we can all think of something fun! :-) I asked Alan if there was any way he could arrange for us to meet Jewel at the concert, and unfortunately, he can't. He said that it happens on a venue-to-venue basis and depending on how she feels that night and how busy they are. And of course, we understand that this is not his fault :-) We can try to think of way, like making a sign to show at the concert that says "EDA's" or something like that real big! :-) Lastly, I might be able to go to the Great EDAdventure!! I will know by Friday, most likely! Let's pray I can! :-) Thanks for all your ideas and imput so far! Please get back to me! :-) Ali :-) "So often our dreams become our hobbies and it deadens our passions."--Jewel ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 May 1997 19:00:52 -0700 From: steel@cybertap.com (Roy Conlin) Subject: *lol*coverpic *lol* holes... :-) I see...hehe Do you really think it is a bra???

Mandryk" Subject: njc: rugburns (wired) + dedication __ just a quick note. i was reading through an old WIRED (march, 1996: i get them in airports sometimes) and i saw a blurb they had on the rugburns: [The Rugburns Taking the World by Donkey Priority Records I don't know if it's the water in San Diego or what, but the sarcasm emanating form this hybrid neopop guitar band is overwhelming. No ambigu- ous, incomprehnsible lyrics here. This band rocks, jangles, and twangs, all the while clearly making fun of guns, liquor, drugs, war -- you name it. Even the love songs are weird. It's refreshing to find a band that has musical talent, a vicious sense of humour, and some knowledge of recent history to boot. Amused the hell out of me. --Peter Herb] __ also. it's nice to see something other than the stranded on an island song collection, so i'll join in (don't quite follow my reasoning). all songs mentioned so far are tremendous, so perhaps i'm staining the face, but: medeilla of the gray skies, in the arms of sleep -- the smashing pumpkins china -- tori amos raining in baltimore -- counting crows - -Austin __________________________ Austin H.
