I think Andy Wang goes a little overboard in his generalizing the significance for a whole generation from of the "shooting star" phenomena we've seen in recent *weeks* with Jewel and the Lilith Fair, though from his perspective he's not to be blamed. My whole generation is not experiencing some humanisitic/realistic/experiential renessance/awakening/kairos moment. *Of course* my whole generation doesn't have to. We know that. We know the point isn't to reach everyone, just the ones who care, and that will be enough. *If* this phenomena is significant, it's not by inspiring people who don't care to experience some conversion reaction, it's to inspire, motivate, and bring together people who already care. And maybe that's what we're seeing now. I hope. I like Andy Wang's writing--he's not as outspokenly liberal as I'd like, but he's very sympathetic to caring young people trying to make a difference. We have some of his articles archived somewhere. Maybe MSNBC deserves some fan mail on his behalf. Just a thought for you-all...Kim) 97/07/19/01 MSNBC; Inspirational performer speaks for a generation: Jewel is no diamond in the rough; Opinion; Andy Wang Cause everybody needs somebody else to blame, They can't curse themselves. They take their doctor's name in vain They'd rather jump through hoops and therapeutic groups then in their own minds delve. Oh God. Why don't we believe in ourselves? _ Jewel, from the unreleased "Life's a Great Big Mystery Show" Jewel believes in herself. She believes in herself enough to tell the world she believes in angels, and she believes in herself enough to introduce "I'm Sensitive," a song that has become a mantra among her legion of fans, as "the cheesiest song" she ever wrote. She believes in herself enough to tell her fans to "be nice to yourself" and not worry about coming off as some spiritual New Age freak. After all, her sincerity is a big reason she's currently the queen of pop and a big reason she'll be remembered as the philosopher queen and poet laureate of her generation. "I believe optimism is a choice," she has said many times. "Cynicism isn't smarter. It's safer. Innocence isn't ever really lost. We just have to maintain it." She's right, of course. Optimism is a choice, and it's the choice most young people are making today. A recent poll in Swing Magazine found that 62 percent of the 20-something generation believe they'll become more successful than their parents. The mainstream media finally is picking up on what Jewel's fans have known all along, and suddenly the singer is America's favorite cover girl, having been featured recently on the fronts of music magazines, men's magazines, World Wide Web magazines, not to mention Interview and Time. "Bedazzler," screams the July issue of Interview. "Jewel. The Real Story. And why her record- breaking rise shows hope is the hottest thing now." "Jewel and the Gang," proclaims the July 21 issue of Time. "Macho music is out. Empathy is in. And the all-female Lilith festival is taking rock's hot new sound on the road." Almost all these magazines chronicle Jewel's fairy tale rags-to-riches saga, so I won't bother. What they fail to explain, however, is just why Jewel, who has released just one album, and her sisters-in-music are striking a nerve right now. They fail to explain why, as I write this, fans across the country are making plans to go to a record store at midnight tonight or at the crack of dawn tomorrow to buy Sarah McLachlan's new release. They fail to explain why the Lilith Fair, the McLachlan-organized first "womencentric" rock concert in history, an event McLachlan admits "promoters would have laughed at" five years ago, is now the hottest ticket of the summer. The reasons are simple, really. As much as Bush front man Gavin Rossdale may beg to differ, the grunge era is over, and the kids that lived through it are on to bigger and better things, smart enough to realize it's not worth having Kurt Cobain's amazing insight if you also have to live a tortured life. My generation knows family values are much hipper than, say, heroin, as evidenced by a poll Swing conducted last year that shattered many Gen-X myths. Even the most angst-ridden among us are starting to understand that happiness isn't overrated, and millions are opening their mind to the musings of women. That's because there are just some things men can't pull off. Men almost never reveal their innermost thoughts, and when they do, the reaction is usually something along the lines of, "Hey, buddy. I really didn't need to know this." When women like Jewel and McLachlan reveal their innermost thoughts in their music, however, they sound ethereal and can win over almost anybody. Consider that Jewel, before she was a star, opened for acts like "goth rock" king Peter Murphy and the Ramones. She actually won over fans this way, which on the surface seems about as likely as Pat Buchanan winning over fans at a pro-choice rally. Jewel and her contemporaries are defying logic by simply showing their human side. Cynics can argue that if Jewel wasn't so stunning physically, she'd be just another coffee shop act playing in flip-flops. They can scoff at how Jewel and other Lilith Fair performers like McLachlan, Fiona Apple, Paula Cole and Sheryl Crow try to peddle their sexuality and play innocent about it afterward. (Jewel's see-through dress was the most memorable thing about this year's Grammys.) What they can't comprehend is that this woman's movement isn't about sexuality. It's about great music by the most human of beings, who go through mood swings and contradict themselves, who, like Jewel, believe you "can be spiritual and sexy," and who all the while are trying to inspire others. Times are changing. Details Magazine, once considered the bible of grunge, has just hired a new editor in Michael Caruso, who is planning to focus more on job-oriented stories. The Internet is empowering young people all over the world to start their own businesses and to create their own art with little resources. The medium also allows fans who otherwise would never meet to converse about what the music means to them. It should be no surprise that Jewel and McLachlan both have a huge fan mailing lists on the Internet, and they've acknowledged this audience many times. "I love (the Internet) because it takes out the middleman," Jewel said. "Oftentimes, it lets the fan have a direct experience with a musician. _ It allows fans to have a direct experience with me, which is why I sing, which is why I think a lot of us sing. So it actually helps me keep going." I met some members of Jewel's mailing list when I was at the Blockbuster Rockfest in Texas last month. I mentioned that they had been referred to as "a cult" in a magazine, and they all shrugged it off. There is a new spirituality now, but it's not some hippie, tarot-card energy buzz like "insights" in the novel cum philosophy textbook "The Celestine Prophecy." The truth of the matter is, as cliched as it may seem, my generation is not the slacker generation, but the generation that, like Jewel, who is all of 23, is "in love with the fight." The message is so simple, so clear. "I just want to take a moment to talk to all of you out there," Jewel said at this year's American Music Awards after being named best new artist. "If it wasn't for you guys buying my album, I'd be stealing food. Don't lose hope. It works." Andy Wang, 21, is an MSNBC editor. - -30- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jul 1997 13:27:21 +0000 From: "Southern Students for Choice" Subject: SJC: comments on MSNBC article, "Jewel is no diamond in the roug Besides the mentions of the mailing list you'll want to read, please note at the bottom of the of the page there's a "7" you can click if you want to highly recommend that others read this article too. I did. I think Andy goes a little overboard in his generalizing the significance for a whole generation from of the popular phenomena we've seen in recent *weeks* with Jewel and the Lilith Fair, though from his perspective as journalist for the most part outside looking in (or at least trying to interpret what's happening for those on the outside), he's not to be blamed. My generation is not experiencing now more than in the recent past some humanistic/realistic/experiential renaissance/awakening/kairos moment. I know from my work how precious few adolescents or young adults are "fully functioning", "self-actualized", "integrated" people, with enough wellness left over to share some in a stable, supportive relationship with peers who need it. I'm not expecting young people to have the political self-interest that older do, nor do I expect them to go out, protest, and confront people. If some want to, fine, that work is for other groups, not mine. My work is to develop young people's communication skills, decision-making and support skills relating to health care access, through our service projects including staffing concert tables. And I've looked at our mission statement and at the threads of mission that this internet group seems to have, and I almost want to cry, here we're trying to do with a nonprofit and you're trying to do with a fan club what a couple of generations had for themselves without the sponsorship of the media or most of the music scene. The only disagreement I have with Andy's article is what I think may be a blurring of some young people's avowed self-esteem with our apparent spirituality/social responsibility. I don't think it's blurred in Andy's mind, rather it's something a reader might blur, especially the already converted reader. "Optimism is a choice, and it's the choice most young people are making today. A recent poll in Swing Magazine found that 62 percent of the 20-something generation believe they'll become more successful than their parents." Maybe Swing Magazine readers are so economically optimistic. I'm sure that Swing's advertisers hope they really are upwardly mobile and willing to go into debt too. But my friends who are hopefully among the more activist and caring aren't so optimistic. They're not pessimistic--they're well-educated and expect that they will have a respectable income, especially in the information sector, but they don't think they will likely be as economically successful as their parents, not without working much harder and longer anyway. I *know* this is true for most young people who are starting families. Look at the fight over the last couple years over "teen pregnancy", which has become a crisis since Congress decided there's no federal mandate for welfare programs and California and other influential states passed laws requiring parental consent for abortion services. I haven't met a young women or man who seriously wants to start a family and consider pregnancy and caring for their children who sees a way to do so without as much as two decades of planning, i.e. not till they're in their late 30s or even 40s, precisely for economic reasons. We had better not base my optimism on hope of economic success any more than we'd base my self-esteem on our dress size or abs of steel. Go beyond the surface dissatisfactions young people have today--or find relatively easy to talk about, like self-esteem, body image, etc--and we find the alienation and disaffection, dare I say angst, that young people have always had, though arguably more so and with so few young people trying to do something about it today that those who do are easily cast as celebrities. While I wasn't even born a generation ago in the 50s or 60s, from what I read of the accounts spanning at least two decades there was a *literal* sense of community amongst young people that we don't have today in our *virtual*, commercial, corporate-sponsered concert scene, online and MTV/VH1 community. For example, I find it harder and harder to take people complaining about the cost of health care or the lack of explicit sex education in their high schools. And we led campaigns for both! This is becoming hard for me to take because many of these same people spend more on their CDs a month than it would take to for them to get adequate preventative care, or because the lyrics and DJs they listen to are sexually explicit. Strange. A decade before I was born there was no cable TV, no sexually explicit lyrics, less sex education in the schools, and hardly a riot grrrl scene. There was no alternative college radio like we know today. I'm told that what "alternative" radio there was in most communities was top 40, broadcast on perhaps one station in the biggest cities. Somehow young people helped each other through a war and domestic civil strife, and long before Roe v. Wade they helped each other find contraceptive and abortion services. They for the most part didn't need TV or radio's help, glossy national magazine articles, and they certainly didn't need computers to do it. As beautiful as the Lilith Fair is, the feedback we've gotten from volunteers at the earlier dates is that the audience is no more or less supportive than the festivals and concerts we've done in the past--Lollapalooza, Indigo Girls, and Nirvana included. It's very worthwhile to plan months in advance for, but one big-time band or festival theme isn't much better than another, certainly not when it grows to the scale of ampitheaters. In general the more "enlightened" a scene represents itself to be, the more people you'll find in that scene that have substantially made up their minds on the issue and think they've done or are doing all that needs to be done, all that can be done, etc. Or, they think that the fraction of their ticket price that goes to a charity is shared with all of the groups tabling onsite. We don't want a f***ing percentage of the ticket! We've don't want donations from any band, promoter, cosmetic manufacturer, etc. ever! We want volunteer support, letters written, etc! But so many pass by without stopping, as if they've already given at the office. They have. The box office, that is. *Of course* my whole generation doesn't have to have a simultaneous epiphany. (Freudian slip there? Perhaps.) We know the point isn't to try to reach or organize everyone, just the ones who care, and that will be enough. That's the way it's always been with social change, right? *If* the phenomena we're a part of is seen in retrospect as significant, it's won't be because we prosletysed to people who don't care, urging them to experience some conversion reaction, rather it's because we inspired, motivated, and brought together people who already care. And maybe that's what we're seeing now. There's some Buddhist saying that goes "act like what you do makes a difference, while being prepared for the likelihood that nothing you do makes any difference". I like Andy Wang's writing--he's not outspokenly liberal, but as I hope I've said in so many words he certainly doesn't have to be. His articles have been very supportive of young people trying to make a difference. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Jul 1997 20:24:36 -0400 From: Chris Phillips Subject: NJC: Looking for DC area Angelfood I'm looking for shows that Jewel did in the DC/Baltimore area; if you have any & are interested in trading, please write me back!

Thank you very much. I just had to help a friend with this swimmeet in Columbia SC. This is where I happened to see the video, in the hotel. Very early in the morning (around 6am and 5:45am respectively). While it was a different perspective, and I of course do not know Jewel personally, I cannot say what I think. It was interesting and that is it. One thing though was on Thursday, before going to Columbia, I took my canoe out on the wonderful Augusta Canal down here. Now let me tell you about this canal. It has been around since around the early 1800's to help with the flow of raw materials to the port city of Augusta(I know Augusta a port city, but it is true we shipped a lot out and were at one time a major rival to Savannah) and is a wonderful little waterway. Now to get back to what I was saying, as I was slowly paddling up and down this canal, it came to me in a rush. What is happening to the world around us. We are just rushing through life and not stopping to look around. Look at the world around you the next time you happen to step into a green area. Look at how much man has torn at the fabric of mother nature. Then try your best to take in the smell of that wood and grass and green stuff. You will find that it is a very relaxing thing, natue is. it can relieve any and all stress. Okay enough already with that. This little excursion was a wonderful breath of fresh air and I hope that ya'll can also go out and partake of a similar experience. Thank you and you must excuse my rambling I have had a coupla long days(around 19 to 22 hours days the last four days) and it is time for me to sign off.

Kim Fox: I caught only a couple songs of her's, one was about vampires. She reminded me of the younger daughter on that terrible sitcom, "Empty Nest". She was on the Village Acoustic Song, and she was okay, nothing better. I didn't much like the sound of her keyboard, but she had a fairly pleasant voice and okay lyrics. Nothing special, though. Alisha's Attic: Dual female vocalists, as in the Murmurs/Nields style. I've never really cared too much for this (although occasionally the sound comes together perfectly like in the Murmurs' "You Suck" and their cover of "White Rabbit"), and therefore didn't like Alisha's Attic too much. One of their songs (they only played four) stayed with me though; a song with a repeated chorus of "I am, I feel" was pretty good. Wild Colonials: Played instead of the scheduled Autor du Lucie. This band was phenomanally entertaining. I'd never heard them before, and their rocking sound was a welcome respite from what I thought was an unimpressive Acoustic Village performances from Fox and Alisha's Attic. The lead singer had such charisma, and they had the type of songs that had you singing along to them by the end of the song even though you'd never heard before. One song ... with a repeating chorus of "Lying awake in the dead of the night"... was absolutely spectacular. Holly Cole: She was fun. I'd also never heard her before either, but her stage persona reminded me of Tori and her songs of... I'm not sure. She had some jazzy aspects in some of them. She wasn't as great as I'd heard, but her banter with the crowd was nice, and her songs were pretty good. Lori Carson: Fantastic. Played a way-too-short four song set, all from her spellbinding album "Everything I tough runs wild". She has an exquisite voice, in the Sarah M. class, and her performance was the highlight of the night for me. Could be the next star of alterna-female rockers. Tracy Bonham: Not too impressed, probably the lowlight of the evening. Even her hit "Mother Mother" (a song I loved) was butchered onstage. Tracy didn't seem to be able to keep up with the band; they seemed off-kilter. Oh well. Victoria Williams: The quirkiest performer of the night, and the most fascinating to watch. She's all arms, limbs, and hair, and has this fragility in both her appearance and her songs that is enthralling. Her set didn't consist of any of my favorite songs of hers ("Crazy Mary", "Summer of Drugs", "Harry went to heaven", her cover of "It's a wonderful world"), and that was a slight disappointment, and she kept screwing up with playing. She seems constantly distracted onstage -- by her hair, her sunglasses, by the band's other players, her feet. Still, you couldn't take your eyes off her. She was also very funny, chastising her bandmates for being shy and dunking her head in a bucket of cold water in the middle of her set. She's a wacky and weird delight. Paula Cole: I was very pleasantly surprised by her performance, which I enjoyed beyond belief. Previously, I had only heard her radio hit about the cowboys (I'm too broke to investigate new acts anymore), but her set was awesome and her voice, mannersims, and attitude was better than I ever imagined. Fiona Apple: Ditto. She was great, playing nearly everything from her hit debut album. She surprised me by not playing piano on about half of her songs, but that's okay. Great voice, and had quite a reparte with the crowd. The Cardigans: Okay. Other than "Lovefool" and "Been it", their two radio hits, though, I couldn't get into them. Sarah McClachlan: A beautiful performance that surprised me to the full. She'd been getting mixed reviews for her live performances, but I found her to be enthralling. Perhaps it was because she was the first (and only) performer to be able to play in the dark, but it made the set somehow more intimate, despite the 15,000 people. Unfortunately, my friends made me leave halfway through the set. But I think I caught the best parts of it -- "Hold On" was the highlight for me. All in all, I enjoyed the 2nd stage more than the main stage, because it's just so much easier to see the singers. And I nearly sat at Lori Carson's feet for her performance. It was nice. A nice day. I'll always be disappointed I didn't get to see any of my favorite five artists of all time -- Tracy Chapman, Suzanne Vega, Jewel, Juliana Hatfield, Lisa Loeb -- but all in all it was a great day. - -- Mark A.
