I'm tired of reading my mail and seeing"re:sucky album".I would like to be hearing about more interesting things than about what everyone thinks about the new album.(although i must admit some of you had excellent points) So if we can keep cool everyone,and not go crazy about it.I don't know what everyone's goin crazy about anyway.I have a piece of angel food with the song"Wolf and Dolfin"I think.All i can say is that it's BEAUTIFUL.BUt not very pop.Is she going to release a single, to get her back on the charts?I really hope so.And i really think you guys should stop calling Jewel a godess...i think that's just wrong. I think that she would really hate that.She hates it when people clap too much. Does anyone know her opinions about the situation? clint the beautful angel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 May 1998 22:38:33 PDT From: "* Jewel *" Subject: more books!?!

Or are y'all too wrapped up in bashing an album you've never heard?! That is like the sweetest thing I've ever heard! Look what she did, you guys!!! When I read that I just had to let out an "Awwwwww..." She published a collection of her most honest poems.... for us... so that we could see her...honestly. That is just the greatest. Can I just give her a big ol' hug please? =) She's so sweet. Anyways, just wanted to point that out to you, I hope y'all think about that. =) Peace, Priscilla. P.S.

Accept the gifts of her music, her poetry, and her words as evidence of who she is. She cares about us, why can't we just accept that gift and care for her? I have faith in Jewel. Do you?<< Props to Albert! I think he's got a good point. So does Mike. So do alot of people. What I'm getting at is this thing called fame and popularity are deceiving words. Not everybody who likes Jewel is liking her for the same reasons. People get into a mind set and don't want to look at the bigger picture. Jewel is a person, like everybody else. Shes got her flaws. So do we. Jewel gets a back-up band? All the better :-) You can't stop "evolving" into a different person. You can't be 18 years old at 35. What I'm trying to get at is, ok so the Bearsville 1996 sessions might not ever be published for all to listen to. Times change and so do people. Keep an open mind about Jewel's new album and lay off the rumors, please? BTW -- this is NOT a FLAME to ANYONE in perticular. Just my 2 cents. GpA-- Guitar playin Angel Alex ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 May 1998 20:06:51 PDT From: "David Trinh" Subject: You're all going to flame me for this... Before the bad stuff first some questions: 1. In a recent interview [Hey Hey It's Saturday ] Merril Bainbridge (sp?) said she played at a concert in Madison Garden with the artists she really respects, Jewel was mentioned, when was this? 2. Somewhere noted she did a song for the Romeo and Juliet Soundtrack but was rejected, NE1 know what this was? Now for the bad stuff, I'll probably get flamed and kicked off in the process of offending everyone but I feel I had to put my 2 cents in which quickly rolled into 2 dollars (and I didn't even use one rude word). All I can say is Sorry for offence and hop you let me back in sometime {It's been fun and informative} I was off on a working trip for two days and when I came back there was this huge furore over Jewel's teeth, perfections, imperfections so on. Having just flicked thru it all I'd just like to say what is everyone so mad about? I origianlly replied to the Question and I feel that the person who asked did not need to post two apologies up. It was a simple question, did she have crooked teeth? YES! I answered. It is a mere QUESTION that someone would like know whether it be because it they noticed it in passing and required verfication. Is that not the same as asking Is he Dead? then replying Yes. Would that be a case of disrespect to the dead? YES! I notice her crooked teeth, YES! I notice her breasts, YES! I notice her beautiful eyes and voice, YES! I notice her beautiful face, YES! I notice how she Looks, YES! I like everything about her. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT? Is it not a problem when I JUDGE her on those physical qualities, I still love her for the music she produces and the themes and issues she raises through her style. Noticing her beauty and loving her music are not mutually exclusive terms. Have I judged, Descriminated or Vilified her in any way by my statement that she has crooked teeth? Is there something wrong with stating that fact. Would I be wrong to say that a certain person has an amputated leg if they did have one? Did I ever use the fact she has a crooked tooth in a derogatory way? I ANSWERED A HARMLESS QUESTION HOW IS THAT CENTRING ON HER IMPERFECTIONS? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 May 1998 10:07:21 EDT From: ABershaw@aol.com Subject: MrBB-EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS! Good Morning, I would appreciate it if EVERYONE reads this & remember it for the future. Apparently, last night two people were in AOL chat rooms inpersonating both Jewel & myself. They replaced the "W" at the end of my screen name with 2 "V" 's, thus making it look similar enough to my name to fool unsuspecting Jewel fans. A similar thing was done with Jewel's name replacing the "W" again or replacing the "L" in JewelJK with a capital "i". I want everyone to be 100% aware that I NEVER go in chat rooms. I've not been in ANY chat room in over a year! Those who know me well, know there's a good reason why I never go in chat rooms & thats because I type with one finger & am completely useless in chat rooms. (I type so damn slooooow, the topic would change 5 times before I could answer anything!) Also, Jewel NEVER, I repeat NEVER logs onto AOL to chat. The only exception is during pre-announced official things like whats being done next Wednesday night through the AOL Live Arena. And even then she's NEVER on under her screen name. There is absolutely no situation where she has ever or will ever be online chatting out of the clear blue. Once in a blue moon, BiBi may be online on Jewel's account, but even then she will NEVER be in a chat room. So....Bottom line is that Jewel or myself will NEVER be in a chat room. PERIOD. No exceptions. If someone in a chat room claims to be either one of us, they are FAKES and not to be trusted. This also applies to IRC chats, in which case neither of us even has a clue on how to IRC chat. Remember this & from now on, if ANYONE claims to be either one of us in a chat room, do not be a victim of these people! We'd also appreciate you reporting these people to AOL T.O.S. violation service. This may help us & have those people removed from the service & prevent others from being victimized. To report a T.O.S. (Terms Of Service) violation on AOL go to keyword TOS and follow the instructions.

I admire it and find it very intresting how people often look to somebody else for their understanding and enlightenment without ever taking a minute to consider their own ability to think and reason. Jewel herself emphasises this and encourages people to have faith not faith in her. Yet I still see people mimicing her and trying to become like their hero. Read between the lines when you examine her writing and music. I think she's saying that she isnt any different from the rest of us and that if we want to be happy like her then we should stop trying to be like her. Just some food for thought. All flamings and arguments are welcome and are encouraged. thankyou. a moderate philisophical EDA Kevin Via ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 May 1998 17:44:27 +0800 From: "Subashini" Subject: Supporting Jewel > In short - I'm a fan, but I'm not going to worship the ground she walks > on.

Cut her some slack, and cut yourselves > some slack. You're not obligated to love everything she does, and she's > certainly not obligated to do everything to please us. Also very true. Guys, chill a bit. Nobody's whining here....some people (me included) were just writing to the list to express how they felt when they heard that FCS exists no more. Isn't that what the list is for...discussing our feelings and thoughts about Jewel and her music, regardless of whether it's good thoughts or not? We weren't "dissing" the new album, we're just slightly upset that FCS never came to be. (how many times have I said that already? :) And we're just expressing our thoughts on the list. As far as I remember, no one said, "Jewel sucks!! AAARRGGHH! I hate her, and I'm never listening to her music ever again!" And I just have to say that I respect and admire Jewel, but she is not God. Therefore, she is capable of making mistakes like the rest of us. I will support her in everything she does, mostly because she's an awesome musician and writer, and I look forward to seeing how far she goes. I will not support her simply because "she's Jewel." It doesn't make you any less of a fan if you criticise her once in awhile. It's all part of being human, and I just had to get that off my chest.

If any of you know where I could get a copy of any of them Please!I beg of you Please let me know at .#2 Also what, or who rather do I need to talk to or do to get myself an EDA T-shirt?#3aside from those Promo cd's I'm also trying to get my hands on the 1st EDA cover tape.The only other thing I have to ask is what is this future folklore thing(I have a feeling it's a tape), I mean what is on it and how do I obtain one?Ok , I'm sorry if I'm asking for too much in one post but theese are just all things that I've been reading in other peoples post and hadn't thought to include in my previous ones. Now for the rambling. I just got a new Guitar it's the most bueatiful thing I have ever seen.It's the only other blue acoustic guitar I've seen other than Jewel's.It's an IBANEZ AE-25AND It set me back a bit.What I wanna know is do any of you name your guitars?,and if so could you offer me some suggestions,(I'm not joking)I would love to hear some and it would help me a lot in determining my little bueatiful blue guitars name.
