Today in class, we were talking about how people put people down because they are so simular to us and how jealousy takes place in that...then one of my friends said, "Jewel has a song called Pieces Of You" and it explains this and i was shocked and then i gave out a "ooh" and my teacher was like "Stevie, do you have it?" and she was joking and i said "no" and I relized that i put the tape in my pocket in the morning and i was like "Oh my gosh, I do have it!!" and we played Pieces Of You...it was sooo beautiful....thanks for listening...

Jerome asked: >Maybe is it a stupid question... but what is meaning EDA ?? The answer to that question, and many more can be found at my website for this list at http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup It's chock full of basic info on this list and Jewel, all to help newcomers get up to speed more quickly with list and Jewel lingo & information. To answer his question, the blurb below is from the page. Mike :-) EveryDay Angels ~ The official nickname for the subscribers of this list as a whole. It was Jewel herself who dubbed the list members with this name. (It obviously comes from the Jewel song "I'm Sensitive"....."we are everyday angels, be careful with me because I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way"). The VERY common acronym for this you'll see used on the list is EDAs. List Trivia: this acronym was first used by Jewel's mother Lenedra when writing to the list two days after JewelStock. We had always just called ourselves Everyday Angels....oddly enough, I myself was the very first to call list members EAs, and it was the very same day Lenedra first used EDAs....."EDAs" stuck, "EAs" flittered away into oblivion :) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1998 11:24:06 PST From: "Nico Pham" Subject: "Hands"-release delayed??! Hey everyone, I was just wondering because I recently asked in a big CD-store here in Germany (OK, it was Media Markt) when the single would be released and they said "nov. 2nd, and we'll sell it from nov. 9th." Ok, but where is it now? I heard something about a new release-date around november 28. Is that true???? Anwers very welcome. Thanks, Nico "I'm Alive. I'm a Mess."

This isn't quite like asking for algebra help but here goes = ) In history we have an assignment to find a song that talks about the work ethics of the 90s. I was just wondering if anyone could think of any that Jewel had... I can't think of any offhand. Thanks in advance = ) - -Jen ------------------------------ Date: 10 Nov 98 20:50:54 +0100 From: "Chris Groves" Subject: Spirit: NME review :-( This review of Spirit is from this week's (14 Nov 98) NME (New Musical Express). If you're easily offended then don't read any further. - ------------------------------------------------------ Jewel SPIRIT (Atlantic) EVERY DAY IS A WINDING ROAD, YOU KNOW, LOVE IS A FLAME. Apparently, though, we're all "gonna be OK", because Jewel has had a conference with God, and she knows these things. 'Spirit' - yeuch! - is the Alaskan singer-songwriter's second LP, and her proclivity for syrupy platitudes can no longer be blamed on her barefaced farm-girl naivety. Jewel should have now seen enough of the world to know it isn't really like a fabric softener ad, and surely her brushes with the grubby flesh of rock'n'roll (Flea Chili Pepper plays bass on 'Barcelona') must have sullied her fwuffy wittle bubble. No chance. This is a woman who can sing, "pooh pooh pi do" with a straight face. Someone who insists on warbling about how much she really wants to fly. With the Lord as her co-pilot. See, "We are given to God to bear our faith therein/But to be forgiven we must first believe in sin" ('Innocence Maintained'). 'Spirit' has about as much power to convert as a string of Sheryl Crow B-sides. Even Jewel's holy chum in the firmament, if He has any taste at all, will look upon this album and see that it is evil. Nevertheless, it will sell millions. (1/10) April Long. - ---------------------------------------------------------- Chris. Jewel, Pieces Of UK - http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~cmgroves/Jewel ------------------------------ Date: 10 Nov 98 20:19:21 +0100 From: "Chris Groves" Subject: Spirit: Time Out review :-) This review of Spirit is from this week's (Nov 11-18) Time Out, London edition. - --------------------------------------------------------------- Jewel 'Spirit' Atlantic So, the ice maiden returneth - she who looks like a babe and sings like an angel. A ready template for this follow-up to her ten-million-selling debut would surely have been to indulge in a big, expansive production, drenching songs of fashionable angst and empty bombast in slickly smug saccharine soul. But never underestimate Jewel Kilcher. This is an acoustically-based work of limpid beauty and subtle intensity. It is also significantly better, and more mature, than its bold if uneven predecessor. The album opens with a simply strummed acoustic guitar and tender, intimate vocal that builds slowly to a measured but mighty crescendo. 'We must demand more, not from each other, but more from ourselves,' she sings, articulating a typical and telling Jewel philosophy. This is beautiful music, crafted for the mainstream, acceptable to all and yet shot through with the kind of passion, urgency, flair and vitality so utterly lacking in Dion, Carey, Morrissette and Crow. Certainly, Jewel has a way with a song, a hook and a melody, and the production, too, is perfect: lush, deft, sensitively understated and never overblown. Most of all, though, her voice is superb: soft, soaring, effortless and majestic. Lauryn Hill may have melded the year's finest work of classic tradition and contemporary soul, but this too, though less hip, is a work of simple and true classic song. Offering nothing new but sounding like no one else, 'Spirit' is a significant confirmation of a major talent. Ross Fortune. - -------------------------------------------------------------- Chris.

You'll be happy to know I have TV info for you. Jewel taped two TV shows while in Spain recently. An appearance on "7 de Caballeria" is supposed to air on Nov 23rd. Check listing for time. She also did a show called "Musica Si". This has not yet aired & unfortunately I do not have confirmation yet on Musica Si air date. Watch for it. I hope that helps.
