Well what the show is looking for are people who are pretty much obsessed with Jewel and would pretty much take a bullet for her (which i would do). I also spoke with the supervisor and i was told that the show will are probably the 3rd week into the show. Show airs for 6 weeks. I'm not sure how many days a week they'll have it on but my guess is once or twice a week. Well that's it on my behalf.

To all, There is a new page on my web site, Jewel Standing By, called Real Audio Of The Month. Each month, within the first week at least, there will be a new real audio file to download and listen to. This is a great way to hear unreleased Jewel songs, and maybe even a few that aren't in your angelfood collections. The address to my site is: http://fly.to/jewel.jk Then click on Real Audio Of The Month. Enjoy! Keep smiling, Ryan The jagged little angel ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Jul 1998 02:57:40 EDT From: JewelWN2BE@aol.com Subject: My Favorite Jewel poem. -Hommage To Home- Hello everyone!! I was reading Jewel poetry the other day and I realized that my favorite poem of hers isn't in "A Night Without Armor". It's called "Hommage To Home" and I think the only people who would reconize it, would be those EDAs who got their hands on a copy of "Save The Linoleum" as I did. (((THANKS TO MARK!))) I was disappointed that it didn't make it into her book.. but I still love it just the same...and I wanted to share it with all you guys who've never read it before... _______________ "HOMMAGE TO HOME" For the sweat of my father and the tough nails that broke his heart for the sun on our backs and the water on our brows and heat on our minds for the silent miles of dirt roads Our eyes busy reading the signs (on the days we took the car) for bad meals turned good by hunger. everything beautiful in the red hot heat of our coal stove for an honest sleep in an old bed in an old house built of hand & log (had nothing been said all day?) ______________ Bye! ~Michelle~ the angel who loves to jam** P.S. Has anyone ever seen this poem around anywhere other than STL?? ;o) Thanks! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Jul 1998 04:23:41 EDT From: JDeanrulz@aol.com Subject: Jewel Chat Rooms Hi All, I just wanted to know if someone could contact me about the linked jewel chat rooms on the web. I am the webmaster of The Jewel Shrine and would very much like to include the chat room as a part of the site. Someone contacted me about it a couple of months ago but It slipped my mind and I forgot who it was who contacted me. So, if someone would please let me know who I could contact about this please let me know. Thanks.

I'd like to take this moment to thank the panelists who donated a major portion of their free time last week to pour over the 117 submitted questions and whittle them down to 40, which were submitted to the list for the vote and resulted in the 20 final questions below. The panelists were: Sean (no last name given), Amy Sorlie, Charlie Watkins, Andrea Rotter, Erik Olaf Kraatz, Karen Boysen, Mike Rusche, Brett Kaplan, Priscilla Goodwyne, Sean Hooks, Courtney (no last name given) and Krista Dooley. All please stand up and take a bow :-) Mike :-) P.S. As MrBB has posted, Jewel will be mulling over the questions the next week or so, and he (MrBB) should be able to start sending her answers to the list in 9 or 10 days and it will continue daily for a few days, leading up to the Bearsville '98 EDA event in Bearsville/Woodstock. ** There were 237 total voters, each voted for ten or less. The questions are ranked in order of their vote totals. ******** ******** ******** 117 votes - question #8 - MRYLMNRO@aol.com If you were guaranteed honest responses to any three questions, who would you question and what would you ask? @ngEL ******** ******** ******** 111 votes - question #13 - "How do you feel about not releasing the recordings made at the Bearsville sessions? Many EDAs are concerned that they may never see the light of day - and while we acknowledge that they aren't where you are at right now, many of us feel that they are still very valid pieces in their own right, and wonder what exactly is to become of them." Cheers - Mike ******** ******** ******** 103 votes - question #12 - "Kevin Kasten" Jewel, I was wondering if you could share with me and the rest of the EDAs a particularly funny story from your days of living in your car in San Diego and playing in coffee houses there, that you have not previously related to the media in general. Do you look on those days as "good times" in light of your recent fame and fortune and possible lack of free time and anonymity? Thanks - Kevin Kasten ******** ******** ******** 95 votes - question #36 - "Dani" What are you afraid of? Dani ******** ******** ******** 93 votes - question #40 - TJtalken@aol.com The list has been arguing what kinds of questions we should ask you so i wondered, what is one question we might think to ask you that you would never answer? Memento Mei, Duff ******** ******** ******** 82 votes - question #4 - Alicia Similar questions submitted by Andrew Chandler, Cris Eichler, JP and Jon Arena Jewel, It seems to me that you have developed a deep spirituality and reverence for life. I was wondering if religion (organized or not) has played a role in your upbringing... or is it nature or your family or people in general that has helped you to develop into the woman you are today? alicia ******** ******** ******** 79 votes - question #25 - Uneaq1@webtv.net (Maggie) What is your favorite quality in a person? What qualities do you look for in a mate? Maggie, the curious rambling angel ******** ******** ******** 78 votes - question #39 - Jewel, everyone is aware of many of your amazing talents but I was wondering if you have any hidden talents unbeknownst to others. Something know one else can do, maybe like juggling blindfolded, eating an orange through a straw, or even just a joke you made up. Thanks, Ty ******** ******** ******** 77 votes - question #17 - casper31@juno.com (Adina F) Similar question submitted by Mark Oxman Jewel, Is there any possibility of having another Jewelstock for the EDA's? Adina Friedman ******** ******** ******** 75 votes - question #33 - buschs@engin.umich.edu Jewel, if you were one of the EDA's like myself, what question would you ask Jewel and as Jewel what would your answer to that question be? Steve - The maize and blue angel ******** ******** ******** 74 votes - question #34 - Do you believe that we all have Soul Mates and that if two people really were meant to be then they will always be together? I was wondering if you've ever met someone you felt was 'the one' and if you lost that person. If you have, when you lost them, how did you deal with the pain? And how did you move on? Did you remain friends? And how do you deal with feelings of "aloneness"? Regina ******** ******** ******** 73 votes - question #30 - Sean35RL@aol.com You are an artist who has achieved a great deal of success, but I doubt that you would say that you have succeeded. Your music does not hint at you being an easily satisfied person nor does it imply that you will ever be content. For to be content is to lose desire, to stop striving, to settle. You have commented often in songs like Deep Water, most notably, on how we should strive to achieve and never give up our hopes and dreams, to never settle or compromise. This is in glaring contradiction to the prevailing beliefs in our society. We live in a world where pity and sacrifice are considered virtues. To me, however, pity is nothing more than active pity for weakness and sacrifice is, by definition, the surrender of a greater value for a lesser one; to concede. Therefore, a person's worth in our altruistic society is gauged by the degree to which he or she surrenders and betrays his or her values. In your climb to success, by refusing to give up your hopes and dreams you are standing proud in the face of a society that strikes down so many who try. However, on the other hand, I am wondering if there are any compromises, sacrifices, or concessions that you now regret making. And in closing, do you feel that you would have achieved the position your art has procured for you today if you were not physically attractive, if you were more average looking, if you were perhaps even unattractive or ugly? Be well, Sean Hooks (Thank you Jewel, for all the inspiration your music has given me. Hopefully your answer to this question will be an enlightening response.) ******** ******** ******** 64 votes - question #20 - VCavallo@aol.com Jewel, what is your favorite kind of pudding? Erica ******** ******** ******** 63 votes - question #23 - necrosavant@juno.com If, God forbid, you should leave us at this point of your life, what would you liked to be remembered for, what regrets would you have, and how would you like to be remembered? Court ******** ******** ******** 63 votes - question #1 - David Beery As a Traverse City, MI. native I have found the fact that Jewel attended Interlochen Arts Academy interesting. So little good information is available on this aspect of your life. I have asked many people, some from Traverse City and some online for information. Some people have said that you did not enjoy your time at Interlochen, that you hated it because you could not learn the blues and would never come back. While other people have said that you enjoyed your times at Interlochen, performing in a play that was only open to members of the drama club, volunteering to pose as a human subject for the arts department many times playing your guitar writing and practicing new songs. It is also said that you performed at a local coffee house on your last day in the region. Instead of trying to make since of the mix of truth and lies, I would like to ask you how was your expense at Interlochen? Did you perform at a local coffee shop? If so, what one? Thank you for your time - David Beery - "the cherry angel.." ******** ******** ******** 62 votes - question #27 - LastDance0@aol.com Jewel, I have admired you tremendously for quite awhile. I learn more and more about you as a person with each day. I have, you could say, a mental picture of you, what your like. I find it frustrating in life when people form an image of someone without KNOWING them. (this is my favorite question to ask a person) can you tell me one thing, or maybe two : ) To help me understand you (as a person) better. Something I dont know about you or do but didnt really digest? What do you want me to think of when I think of you? Thank you for your love of music and the arts, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sarah Elizabeth **The Shy angel**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ******** ******** ******** 62 votes - question #21 - EDA10@aol.com Jewel, you always seem to be so hopeful. When/if you ever lose your faith how do you get it back? Thanks and Love, Angel ******** ******** ******** 61 votes - question #2 - "Michelle Thomas" What do you feel is the most important message that you wish fans to draw from your music, poetry, and interviews? -Michelle Thomas ******** ******** ******** 60 votes - question #10 - From: "Nathan" Similar questions submitted by Seth Fulmer & Nicole Rheaume Bob Dylan has said that he can't get up from writing a song until it's finished. Do you write all in one sitting or do your songs build fragment by fragment until they're done? (And which comes first - the melody or the words?) Stay sensitive - Nathan ******** ******** ******** 57 votes - question #9 - Ben Jewel: I know picking a favorite song of yours is like picking a favorite child, but which of your songs, on Pieces of You or on Angelfood or as yet to be recorded, do you feel best reflects the spirituality you have gained in life, and why this is so?

I did my best to comply. The following 4 questions had the following changes & I hope you'll all agree with them. On any question that the author feels I've screwed up, they are welcome to withdraw the question. I made a point NOT to change any content of the questions. Only to correct spelling, some incoherancy & to delete superfluous info not needed to ask the questions. Lenedra asked me to use my best judgement & I did. Hope no-one is offended by this. No question content was changed. I was very careful about that. Here's the few changes including notes on the thoughts behind the changes. . ******************************************************** #5----93 votes - question #40 - TJtalken@aol.com Original: The list has been arguing what kinds of questions we should ask you so i wondered, what is one question we might think to ask you that you would never answer?

What was your 1st gig at Ray's Coffeehouse like? Thank you for your time - David Beery - "the cherry angel.." Note from MrBB: I edited this & reworded the end to get a better answer hopefully. The basic question boils down to "How was your experience at Interlochen"? which is unchanged. If you, (David) really meant to use the word "expense", I'll correct Jewel about it. But I'm pretty sure this wasn't a "tuition" question....I specifically changed the last part(Did you perform at a local coffee shop? If so, what one?) because I knew the answer & wrote it privately to Dave. Her gig there was at Ray's Coffeehouse. So in addition, I added in place of the above: "What was your 1st gig at Ray's Coffeehouse like?" *************************************************************** #16----62 votes - question #27 - LastDance0@aol.com Original: Jewel, I have admired you tremendously for quite awhile.
