Well, I was on a online auction page and someones face stuck out on a banner at the bottom of the page. It was a banner for "The Web" magazine. And they used Jewel's face section from the blue background promo picture for the right side of the banner. They were part of the LE (Link Exchange) so I click on it and it brings me to the page : www.webmagazine.com/partners/subscribe/linkex2.html there is a pic of one of there magazines with Jewel on it, and she is also next to a list of options on the top right of the page. =) Later guys...

I think the reason that alot of guys say "JEWEL IS SO BEAUTIFUL!" (I admit I do it too) is because she doesnt only have superficial beauty, but she has inner beauty and believe it or not, quite a few guys like I respect that. It's kind of cool to find a famous girl who is good looking who is innocent/girlish like and hasn't been in 800 different porno magazines. Just MHO. I think thats about all i gotta say...

On the recommendations of postings of Dan Stark, Chris Synder et al., I went to the Tara MacLean show last night. Let me tell you, she is a *must* see. Tara puts on a show that would be the envy of anyone in the music business. Her voice is amazing, and her music is fantastic. There were maybe 100 people at the show, which was a perfect number, and everyone was well behaved. I had drug my girlfriend to the Jewel show (4000 screaming teenagers, not ideal for those of us in/near our 30's) and she remarked that this is how she would love to see Jewel. I'm not too good on the whole set list thing, but she did a lot of songs from her cd (which, unfortunately, does her no justice) and a couple of new songs. One of the new songs was called Jordan, which was inspired by her gospel singing father and his stories of the river Jordan. Kinda neat. I talked to Tara & Bill, her accompanist, after the show and told her I was one of the EDA's. Talk about a smile! It was like she was meeting one of her old friends. She pointed to me to one of the other people with her (Mark from Nettwerk, her label) and said "Look, here's an EDA!" We talked for a while, I relayed some messages, including a Happy Canada Day, and got her and Bill to sign my CD (Is Bill's last name really Ben?). She wished all the EDA's her love, and Bill said thanks for all the support. Her next stops are Minneapolis and Rochester. I highly recommend going to see her, and talk with her after the show. I was a little bit intimidated at first, but she's really just a normal person, having a great time playing music. Bill's a riot, and the rest of the troop are quite fun. Chris! Christopher G.

My head pounded from a night of tossing & turning and nightmares, having only drifted off into peaceful sleep a few hours before I needed to get up. Pulling on a sundress, I rushed out of the apartment without taking a shower even though I was hot and uncomfortable. Barreling down the highway at a mere 80 mph, I sang at the top of my lungs along with Jewel and disregarded all the stares from other drivers. They should be watching the road anyways. It occured to me for a moment that perhaps I drive too fast, that I'm too much of an aggressive driver, that perhaps it's not healthy that I curse at and flip off the other drivers when they piss me off. But I dismissed the thought...I mean, one has to get their anger out somewhere. Departing from the highway, I guided my car into the heart of the city. As if the highway hadn't raised my blood pressure enough. So, there I was at the red-light, trying to get it to change to green with the sheer will of my mind, when a yellow cab pulled up beside me. The cabbie leaned out his window and started making kissy-faces at me. Then he hollered, whistled and waggled his tongue. I just kind of stared at him blankly...I may have even smiled a little. Amusing...funny, actually. Why did he do that? What was he thinking? In some sort of warped mentality, did he believe that it would turn me on--that I'd get out of my car and throw myself at him, moaning "Take me, you Godly man!!" The light turned green and I drove my car through the intersection, the cab pulling in behind me and honking its horn. I looked into my rear-view mirror, my lips tugged up into a faint, lopsided smile as I watched the cabbie's expression as I turned into the mental hospital parking lot. Didn't realize I was a nut-case, did ya? I fell into fits of laughter as he disappeared from sight. I walked barefoot to the building--I love to be barefoot. Being physically connected to the ground is very centering. My feet led me to the elevator and I pressed the button. My stomach lurched slightly as the lift started to move up along its cables. I hummed a little song to myself and soon the steel doors parted, opening passage to the Eating Disorders wing of the building. Yes sirree-bob, another fun-filled day at my 'Eating School' stretched out before me. God, I hate it. No sooner than I had passed through the doors, my case manager was dragging me into her office. Sitting stunned in my chair opposite her, I listened to her tell me that my insurance was cutting my coverage, that I would only have a few more days in the program at most. Shit. Alright, yeah, I hate the place...I hate that I have to go every day and talk incessantly about food and self-esteem and all the shit that comes along with being self-aware, but, fuck, I NEED it. I can't do it on my own. Before I know it, tears were spilling down unto my cheeks as I felt my life crumble around me. My grandfather died last week and it was my first funeral. At the wake, we had an open casket and I stared at his dead body. Dead. When I die, what will I have done with my life? Will I have wasted all my time obsessing about food and the way I looked? Shit, what's the point...we all rot sooner or later anyways. I want to /do/ something while I'm here. So, I hatched a plan...devised a solution on how to get my life back on track. Thanks grandpa, I needed that. But as I sat across from my therapist, all my plans...all my dreams, hopes and aspirations....they all died before my eyes. How would I be able to achieve /anything/ without getting better first and how could I get better without the program? 5'10" and 118 lbs...I felt like such a failure and I just wanted to lie down and die right then. So I drifted through the day, unshed tears clinging to my eyelashes and remaining silent. My thoughts consumed me, screamed at me within the confines of my head. Then, slowly, I started to get mad. What a stupid, stupid, stupid disorder...anorexia. What the hell am I afraid of...food. Flour, milk, eggs, grains...oh my god, they're gonna kill me. They're gonna make me fat. And what if they do? What the hell will a few more pounds do to me? My stomach tied itself in knots...not from fear of food but from an overwhelming anger. I was gagging on my rage. I realized there was NO reason that all my dreams had to die because of this. There was NO reason I couldn't do this on my own. It's only food. It's like breathing...a simple necessity of life. I'm tired of being the ghost of the person I could and should be. I'm tired of wasting my life obsessing over things that aren't important. My time here will be so brief and I want to SHINE. And, dammit, I will. After the rage, there was peace and I left the hospital with a quiet sense of serenity. I lifted my eyes to the sky...gorgeous day. Blue blanketed me, not a cloud in sight, and a gentle breeze caressed my face. I sat down beneath a tree, leaning my back up against it. I let my gaze wander over it's hulking form, comforted by it's strength. And things broke down into such simple perspectives for me. I nearly gasped at the beautiful simplicity of existance. All these things I worry about, all these things that give me ulcers and high blood pressure...I assign such a desperately high importance to them but in a few days, weeks, months, whatever...it's forgotten. I am not saying I'll stop paying my bills or that I'll never go back to work, but, for a moment, I'll just stop. Look around. Appreciate the miracle and beauty of existance. And when I return to 'responibility', I'll hold unto that, hold it close to my heart. Have Faith & Hope. Enjoy Life. SHINE.

I dont really have the energy for a whole post on this but if you would have told me but two years ago that Jewel would be THIS huge, I wouldnt have believed it, and I probly would have said that if it ever came to that I would have to consider giving up all hope. Now, Jewel would say not to, that you should hold on to hope no matter what. But I think I have finally reached that point where you look an enemy in the face and just have to admit that you have no chance of winning. It is the concept of futility, one that I have held dear in my brain for years. The concept that certain wars just cannot be won, certain monsters cannot be conquered. The Jewel popularity monster is a sickening, ever growing, disgusting, revolting creature. It has grown in size and power to a point where even someone with my strong will and relatively deep inteligence cannot compete with or attempt to combat this vast, huge, hulking monster. I will cling to my old Jewel tapes and more importantly cherish some personal memories. Seeing Jewel when she was an opening act for Dylan at my college, the day I spoke with her and she played a song I asked her to play and how I had a natural high for the next week all that. When I saw her at a small quaint New Jersey shore bar and left with a smile and a feeling of deep respect and adoration for Jewel. Of course, Jewelstock, one of the most amazing concerts I have ever witnessed, and I have seen many exceptionally outstanding ones, but few if any that touched me like that show. They are fading memories, like old yellowing photgraphs. Jewel is distant from me now, a photgraph herself and nothing more, not a person, not the seething volcano of humanity and self and praise worthy genuineness that she once was. She has reached the status of an icon, useful only to record companies who want to exploit her or mysogynist teens that like to jerk off to her tits. She played in front of 150,000 fucking people at Rockfest, more than perhaps all the other performances she had ever played in her career combined. She is on the hatable and detestable mediums of our society, MTV and Top 40 radio, constantly now. She is overknown and underappreciated. She is playing venues that seat more people that owned her album a whole year after it was released. Time Magazine?!?! She is a blinking image on our TV screens, a small speck of blonde hair and a blue guitar seen from an all too distant seat in the stands. She is a shadow of her former self.

Rockfest was very cool, but I didn't get to spend as much time with the EDAs as I would have liked to, due to the circumstances. In addition, I just went camping for a week for the first time in my life, and it didn't agree with me. Yet, it was very cool as well. No, truly, I did enjoy myself at Rockfest with Farr and Tien and Andy and the Dallners and all the EDAs I met there, and I regretted not spending the Sunday with them. But my friends and I needed to start on our way to the next campsite. I dunno. I feel very detached from this list right now, and I have half a mind to unsubscribe, and maybe subscribe to the digest. Maybe. It's just gotten so BIG! And that's cool and all...but I feel lost. It's hard to consider the list a family when there are thousands of us. And I could never get to know all of you. And there are some of you that I love dearly. And some of you who get on my nerves, but that's your perrogative, and I'm sure I get on other people's nerves sometimes too. And there are the faceless millions who write posts about nothing at all and quote everyone else's messages in their entirety or make absolutely no sense or just are people I don't have a personal one-on-one relationship with (e.g. I know nothing about them). I used to feel so close to you all, and I'd eagerly check my mail every five minutes to see what you had to say. But now I no longer feel like that...I hold down the delete button while I skim through the messages, a very small percentage of which interest me in the least. What has happened? Have I changed? Or has the list? Have I out-grown the list? Am I holding on to a dream of what once was and may never be again? And does anyone else feel like this? Godbless you. Bless and Be Blessed; spread the Love!

But take heart Sean. There isn't a critic out there who likes her as we do. The media is going to drop her eventually and when she needs somewhere to land, the EDAs will be here to cushion the fall, as always. She hasn't forgotten us. We mustn't forget her. This too, shall pass.

Has anyone read Aldous Huxley's "Island". In my mind it's his best book. Most people think of him as a highbrow intellectual but this book is very spiritually based. He wrote it in 1962: very late in his career. Anyway, for those who have read it, wouldn't THAT be the perfect society? We'd integrate spirituality into all we did, and our children would be nurtured by the community as a whole. I've read the book twice (so far) and I can't find any part of their society that won't work. The only thing that would bring about their downfall would be a society like ours infiltrating theirs and spoiling them. SOMEBODY out there must have read this book, so please tell me if you found any problems with Palanese society. (I know that Pol, Allie and I didn't.)

As Jim said, One will notice details on the 3rd or 4th time missed before. Do yourself a favor and see it ...or better yet, buy it. This is one to own! It is a classic that will not die and has quite a web presence. (I predict a Spinal Tap II) Check out "The Official(?) Spinal Tap" web page I found! ...... http://www.spinaltap.com/ This "mock" band has toured and it's funny to hear stories of people who can't understand why they've never heard of this band with so much history :) Hmmm, I wonder if Jewel's guitars have 'stain'? and remember..."What's wrong with being sexy?" :^) 'Rev.'

Of course it's sophmoric and juvenile, and unless you like that kind of Monty Python meets Rob Reiner type humor, you may find it really, really stupid. I never fail to find something to laugh about when I watch that movie... and it takes about three or four times through it before you catch all the jokes :) P.S. David St. Hubbins is 'Lenny' (of Lenny and Squiggy from the old sit-com Laverne & Shirley) with a fake british accent...
