Greetings fellow eda's I have just come across some pics of Jewel at school and the spelling of her name there is Juel, not Jewel. Is this how she originally spelt her name and she changed the spelling to Jewel or was it just spelt wrong in the writing under the picture. In the Jewel FAQ's it states her name as being Jewel Kilcher, thats why I thought it was strange that this pic says Juel. If you would like to see the pic I am referring to visit: http://www.riverland.net.au/~manno/jkskool.html On another subjuct now, I think offering tickets to internet fans is a great idea. In one of Jewel's tapes I have she says something along the lines that her internet fans have helped her get through, and she says a special hello to the Everyday Angels that are at the particular show. I mean we are very widespread and it would only be a handful or so of people that would go to most of the shows anyway, that are on this list that is (about 1300?? or so I think someone said), unless it is in a particular spot where heaps of EDA's reside. So I really don't see the harm in it, unless the list gets advertised and all of a sudden grows to like 50,000+. I know that if Jewel ever tours Australia I would love to be able to make sure I got my ticket. No tickets, I would definetly go to more than one show :) Cheers Craig ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Mar 1998 01:13:52 EST From: MAXMOUZE Subject: Re: True Fans In a message dated 98-03-05 22:54:57 EST, PixieFuel@aol.com writes: << A true fan is anyone who hears the music and enjoys it. >> I don't know, I think that's a fan, but not a "true fan". A true fan (of a singer) is someone who not only hears the music but who feels that it feeds their soul. And, who is interested in more than the popular, released recordings of the artist because they are fascinated by their performances. Someone who is always looking for a teeny mention of their favorite artist in a magazine and will buy it for $7.50 just because it mentions his/her name in a magazine. Someone who is always thinking about the artist because they love them so much. Someone who could recite every line of the artist's songs. OK, maybe they don't have to do all those specifically, but someone who goes beyond just hearing a song on the radio and liking it. I know a lot of people who go "Oh, I love Jewel so much. I am her biggest fan" and then they haven't heard more than "You Were Meant For Me" and "Foolish Games". I don't think that's a true fan, but lately, it seems as those are the types of people who have become EDAs. What I am saying is there are two ways to be a true EDA -- to have joined the list when you loved Jewel, before she was "famous" or mainstream -- before you knew you would be getting anything out of it. Or to have a passion for Jewel so strong that you go beyond what anybody you pass on the street could do (unless you pass another EDA). Because the two have managed to mix together in this mailing list, I do agree that the early ticket idea wouldn't work out. But if it were still just the Jewelstock group, I think it would be a great idea. But, the same reason there won't be another Jewelstock -- Jewel has become too popular and people look at her as "that chick who sings that cool song on the radio" instead of what the angel which she represents to so many others. To me, Jewel has saved me a suicide attempt, pulled me out of a depression, and reminded me that talented, wholesome, intelligent people still exist in the world. The EDAs have also helped me realize this, as I have rarely met any EDAs who weren't very kind and gentle towards me, even when no one else seemed to be. To me, Jewel is my Angel Standing By and we ARE Everyday Angels. But, you can not possibly expect every person on this list to feel the same passion that most of us do. I am currently in the Sugar Ray fan club because I liked the song "Fly". But everyone talks about albums, singles, and even band members which I am not familiar with, yet I have stayed on the list. I am not a Sugar Ray fan, just someone who liked a song on the radio, found a fan club, and joined it. Jewel is now beyond as popular as Sugar Ray is, so imagine the number of people like that on this list. Not to say that they don't deserve early tickets, but they are no different than any of the others who get excited when they hear "the chick who sings Foolish Games" is coming to town. It would be unfair to give us a priviledge when we are no different than any other Jewel fans who might be interested in buying tickets. I suppose we will have to be treated like any other fans, no matter how deep or how on the surface our love for Jewel really is. Geez, I wrote a long e-mail...I am tired, so I'm sorry if it didn't make sense. * The Sullen Angel * ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Mar 1998 09:50:18 -0600 From: Michael Rusche Subject: A few thoughts I got to see the video for "Who Will Save Your Soul" for the first time yesterday in the wee hours of the morning on VH1. I was thoroughly impressed. I've always felt a well-thought out use of black-and-white (or a similar 2-color scheme) is one of the most profound visual effects one can use...I loved it in Schindler's List, I loved it in the "Foolish Games" video, and I love it here too...what a great video! One unrelated question...I've been listening to realAudio sites on the internet but it seems I have to download/load the file every time...can RealAudio files be saved to the hard drive like pages and pics? I haven't been able to do it ); Thanks!

"No, really. I once said to her, 'I wouldn't say 'You were meant for me, and I was meant for you. That's corny, I'm not saying that line.'" Why is Poltz talking about this song now? Well, in support of his debut solo album, One Left Shoe, due March 17, Mercury is issuing a promotional EP to radio programmers and the press, and as an added- value tool at record stores with Poltz's version of "You Were Meant For Me" on it, as well as the other non- album tracks "Satan's Choir" and "Nice Guys Finish Last." The EP also includes three songs on One Left Shoe: the first single, "Silver Lining," which Jewel co-wrote and performed with Poltz on her VH1 Hard Rock Live special last year, and another song co-written with the blonde beauty, "I Thought I Saw You Last Night," as well as "Good Morning."...

The Atlantic artist has dropped manager Inga Vainshtein and will now be represented solely by her mother, Nedra Carroll. The San Diego-based Carroll has no prior management experience She tells Billboard Bulletin that the shooting of Jewel's first film may push back the release of her next album, planned for late October/early November. Jewel has not yet chosen a producer or begun recording the set. The singer/songwriter is currently in Kansas shooting her leading role in the Civil War epic "To Live On," directed by Ang Lee ("The Ice Storm"), which should open in December or early next year. Meanwhile, her HarperCollins poetry book is due at the end of May, and her "scrapbook" will likely come shortly after the album is released. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Mar 1998 18:55:22 -0600 (CST) From: Carole Bellamy Subject: Re: Jewel Turns To Mom For Management Hi everyone, I was just wondering something after I read this little article below. If Jewel made an album a year or so back with tonnes of tracks on it (as she mentioned in Intimate & Interactive) , why would she put off FCS? Couldn't she just use that some of the stuff from that album? That way she wouldn't have to have as much recording time. Maybe I don't really know the procedure of getting out a CD, but it just doesn't make sense to me. Why doesn't she just put out the album that she had done already. I'm sure it has mostly new unreleased songs, right? Can someone please help me out here?

Hello everyone, I have'nt posted in a very long time mostly b/c I barely have time to read the list let alone reply, but I do have to respond to Paul's question "How many of us actualy get internet access from the library?" Well back in Oct. when I first heard about the EDA's I wanted more than anything to be a part of the list, but guess what? I did'nt have a computer or the money to buy one. At about the same time I learned of the EDA's I also learned of the FTE list <- Sarah McLachlan's mailing list for those of you non-Sarah fans. Anyway I just had to get on these lists so anyone wanna guess what I did? Yep you got it. I went to my local library, a 20 min. ride from my house, and got myself on-line where I fumbled around pitifully for a few days and finally got subscribed to both lists. I then proceeded to drive everyday or so after school to the library to check my e-mail. So while I understand it can be hard to get internet access it is by no means impossible for anyone. Especially someone who truly loves Jewel. I will admit I have a computer at home now, but I only got it at the beginging of Jan. and the main reason I got it was for school work not because of the hassle of driving to the library everyday. Just to put in my two cents I do believe EDA's deserve the privilege of purchasing tickets early. I mean there really are'nt many of us at each concert and Jewel has always supported us so Im sure she would do anything she could to help us as long as it is within her power. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Mar 1998 20:39:30 -0500 (EST) From: Rachel Subject: SJC: Poltz article from allstar another one from allstar... Rocktropolis allstar daily music news: March 6, 1998 http://www.allstarmag.com __________________________________________________ JEWEL COLLABORATOR STEVE POLTZ GETS SENTIMENTAL ON ONE LEFT SHOE More Jewel/Poltz Tracks On Deck Steve Poltz's impressive list of contributors to his debut solo album, One Left Shoe, may be what makes folks pop the disc into their CD player in the first place, but once it's in, the San Diego- based singer/ songwriter proves he's got the goods to make it on his own merits. If his name doesn't immediately ring a bell, his face certainly will. Poltz is the handsome fellow who appears in the video for "You Were Meant for Me," by his longtime friend and writing partner, Jewel. It was also one of the two songs he co-wrote with the superstar. (The other was "Adrian," which also appeared on her grossly successful debut, Pieces of You). Aside from that, he's the goofy guy in the dress who fronts one of San Diego's most beloved bands, the Rugburns. Putting the Rugburns momentarily on hold, Poltz, at age 37, has finally mustered up the courage to record an album -- a rather confessional one at that -- all on his own (well, with a little help from his friends as well). Appearing on the album are Jewel ("She couldn't say no," jokes Poltz), who co-wrote the album's first single, "Silver Lining," and "I Thought I Saw You Last Night" and sings backing vocals on the latter song and "Impala"; the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' horn section plays on "Beautiful Day"; Van Dyke Parks (the longtime Brian Wilson collaborator) plays accordion on "Broken Hearts and Painted Nails"; and Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) plays organ and piano on four songs, including "Silver Lining." "I wasn't ready," says Poltz of why it's taken him this long to record a solo album, and why he passed on signing with Atlantic years back at the same time his pal Jewel was given a deal. "I just wanted to be rowdy and rock out... I think in a lot of ways, I was scared and I probably need to go to therapy to see what's wrong with me...I'm a wuss." "Wuss" may be a bit strong, but Poltz's material on One Left Shoe is indeed sentimental, and he's certainly not a man afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. This is quite the contrast from his other project, the Rugburns, who sing funny little ditties like "My Carphone's on the Pill" and name their albums things like Morning Wood or Taking the World by Donkey. "It came from my heart and that's hard for me to do," says Poltz of One Left Shoe. Commenting on how their aren't many new male singers of his kind around now, but there's tons of females (Jewel, Alanis Morissette, Paula Cole, etc.), he quips, "Yeah, the women opened the doors for me. I thank them for that. I owe them everything." While many may think that it was Jewel opening doors for Poltz, it's actually the other way around. It was Poltz who helped land the young singer her gig at the Innerchange Coffeehouse in San Diego, where she was "discovered" -- a fact that Jewel often talks about herself. And, before Jewel's album was ever released, she appeared in a Rugburns video for "Hitchhiker Joe" and co-wrote one of the band's songs, "Old Lover's House." Then, Jewel had Poltz play guitar on her album and write a few songs. The two also performed "Silver Lining" from One Left Shoe on Jewel's VH1 Hard Rock Live special in March 1997. "We're great friends and we always will be," says Poltz. "It's just magic - -- when you write songs with someone, if it works, you don't question it, and we just seem to write really good songs together." The two have a few songs already in the can, but Poltz isn't sure what will become of them yet. "One is called 'Electric Qualude,'" he says. "It's a metaphor for the TV. I hope that gets out. It didn't fit the vibe on this record, but it will be on something. "We have another one called 'Daddy, She's a Goddess,'" he continues, "about this hillbilly family that kidnaps a girl. It's pretty sick and twisted... We also have a really good one laying in wait called 'My Body's Changing' about someone who keeps trying to fit the mold of someone else. It's gonna be No. 1 with a bullet. [He laughs]. Hopefully, she'll record it, if not, then I will for my next album."
