I'm from the UK and therefore cannot get a copy of the Bits and Baubles CD. I would really appreciate it if someone could get me a copy. Of course I would be more than happy to cover all costs (postage and packing etc.) Yours hopefully, Marc A Man That Knows His Own Heart ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 08:57:15 EDT From: Fairy2884@aol.com Subject: * NJC: EDA well, i guess you guys all feel pretty strongly about E D A. because everyone that replyed to me says it that way and most of them gave me an explaination as to why. but they did it kind of meanly. :*( so i guess i was wrong here, but i'm not gonna start pronouncing it E D A. i like to take the easy way out and shorten everything. for example. i call aol i m s ims, not i m. but im, like saying him with a silent h. but whatever. doesn't anyone out there say E-duh? hmmmm. ~Amanda~ ~the poetic angel~ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 04:38:14 PDT From: "marc baker" Subject: * NJC: UK EDA Gathering Greeting fellow angels This is a quick posting to gauge the interest in a gathering for UK EDA's. I'm new to the list and don't know if a gathering has happened in the UK before. I know that there aren't too many UK EDA's but I think it would be great for us to meet up. It wouldn't have be a massive thing , maybe just meeting up for a drink or something. If anyone is interested then drop me a line and we could try to organise something. Yours hopefully Marc A Man That Knows His Own Heart ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 11:18:50 EDT From: JewelAng@aol.com Subject: * Woodstock Hey all, I'm looking for a tape of Woodstock. I deffently want Jewel's part but I'd like to get as much as I can of it...So if any one has it recorded please email me and we can work out a trade... Thanks Rebecca ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 10:54:39 EDT From: UziGash@aol.com Subject: * Jewel On Fox tonight (Tuesday) Hey Angels!

Check your local listings though. Jen Angel Watching Over You ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 06:54:03 PDT From: "Valerie Lofaso" Subject: * Re: Jupiter video I am really surprised to read that so many people are disappointed in Jewel's Jupiter video saying that is is unlike her style and she looks "slutty" and such. I thought that Jewel fans would be more open minded to her growing as an artist. In the making of the video and on VH1's storytellers, Jewel herself talks about changing songs around to take them a step further, because she is still learning and still exploring herself as an artist. She also says that as long as she is making decisions that allow her to sleep at night she's going to keep doing it. I loved the video personally, and can't wait to see and hear where her personal exploration takes her next. Valerie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 23:39:49 PDT From: "Erin Benoit" Subject: * Drug Bust Story - July 2nd/99 Halo angels! Just thought I'd take the time to type out Jewel's intro-drugbust-whale watching-story for all those who want a good laugh and the few who still haven't heard the whole thing. It's directly from the tape I made at the Vancouver show on July 2nd of this year. I wish you could hear her voice and all the tones/inflections?/and imitations she does...it's hilarious...but this is the next best thing. Hope you like it! You Were Meant For Me - Drug Bust Story *extended version* "I met Steve when I was a waitress in San Diego, and uh, we became friends and started writing songs together. And we went to Mexico once for a song writing trip and we got lost and I was like, 'Are we there yet?' *little kid voice* He's like, 'We're almost there,' and five hours later it's like, 'Are we there yet?' 'No, we're not there yet.' Finally we saw a sign. We're on this dirt road in the middle of nowhere and there's coyote's and licence plates of dead automobiles strung across the road - victims its claimed! And uh, we see this sign that says "Rosalita's Deluxe Resort" (audience laughs...obnoxious guy goes 'whooo!' Jewel instantly replies "wheeee!" Audience cheers!) So uh, we think our promised land is in sight. We get there and, at "Rosalita's Deluxe Resort" is closed (group of girl yells something like 'hi christine' and Jewel goes "Thank you babies" - audience laughs) So we break in to this place, but Steve said it wasn't really like breaking in because it wasn't that hard. (laughs) So it didn't really kind of count. So I didn't feel bad about it...we get in there and we wake up in the morning in a town that is absolutely deserted - there's no people and all there are are Federalies, cops, walking around with guns in their pants and we're like, 'What a very safe town! At Rosalita's Deluxe Resort!'(laughter) So we ask these federalies if they know where we can go whale-watching. And they're like, 'Sure, come with us!' And we're like, 'Okay, don't mind if we do!' So we get in this boat, it's a little open skip and there's about 6 of these federalies and me and Steve and I'm like, 'So hey! Why are you guys here anyways?' And they're like, 'Oh well we're here on a drug bust.' RIiiiiiGHT! *deep sarcastic tone* (laughs) 'So you evacuated the town because of the danger?' 'Ci!' *bobbing head* RIiiiiiiGHT! (laughs) 'Well, is it dangerous?' And this guy lifts up his shirt very proudly and his Budda belly kinda pops out...~Attractive!~ *in a very sarcastic voice* (lots of laughter!) Even more attractive was the fact that he had 3 bullet holes...scars. And chicks might say to their boyfriend or their husband, *cutesy baby dumb blonde type voice* 'Tell me about where you got that scar, Johnny!....(cheering) No,no,no, no...it doesn't make you look bad, it makes you look .....MANly!' But it's not cause, like, we really think it makes the guy look manly, we just don't want the guy to get a complex cause we're sensitive that way (lots of cheering) But we expect a favor in return when we go, 'Does this make me look fat?' (laughing) It works both ways - I scratch your back, you scratch mine. But I have to admit, these three bullet holes weren't doin' it for me, I was like, 'Okay, put it away!' *quiet disgusted voice* 'Right now!' (laughter) So we uh, are looking for whales, Steve and I, very naively. In this bay. And all of a sudden they start talking spanish very fast and I DO not speak spanish. And they point in the distance and there's a boat headed for shore going really fast with three guys going [Jewel imitates the guys by swinging her head quickly side to side as though looking both ways for somewhere to hide] (laughing) Except their hair wasn't blonde and long and so it didn't look quite that same. It was something like that. It was the approximate (something...she clears her throat) So! We assume these are the drug smugglers by the way the federalies are acting - they're very excited. And one has me stand up, I'm sitting on this bench, and I get off the bench...and they open it up...and I discover that this little bench very conveniently doubled as a storage unit for automatic weapons. *voice goes up at the end of weapons like a question almost or very matter-of-factly* And he offered me one. *same tone as weapons* (crowd chuckles then cheers) And I was like, 'No, gracias! (pause to let audience laugh) 'I'll get us all killed!' I did however tie a red bandana around my head and I'm like, (obnoxious guy in crowd yells "Rambo Jewel!" to which Jewel immediately replies "Cooooool Du-ude!" in a snarly sarcastic voice while giving a retarded looking face and a thumbs up sign. Then refers to the guy..) He was so proud he got the analogy..."RAMBO 2"...I got it! Did ya get it? I got it! That's what she was talking about with the red thing....*voice dies out* So ah, we speed to shore. I'm pretty scared *emphasis on the 'pr* Steve and I, I'll take the liberty in saying that I think Steve was a little scared as well. (Steve nods his head) We're both standing there going, *raises hand up like asking a question or confessing something* 'Hostage' But they over take these little drug smugglers, and they...wrestle them to the ground and they hand cuff 'em and Boy, as soon as they got handcuffed I started feeling just braver and braver! (laughter) I walked by one and went, 'Yeeaahh, ....See!' *mobster low whispy voice* 'That's right,.... en!' (chuckles) So they get a guy to tell them where the drugs are and me and Steve think we should just follow....while we're out and about (a few little giggles) so we walk around this corner and there's this large rock, and we move the rock out of the way and there's this large hole. And in the hole is about 1000....pounds of marijuana. (Audience cheers loudly) See the way I can tell that I'm in Canada right now and not California is that (Crowd goes wild!) when I'm in California and I tell this story they're like.....*pauses for effect* 'Du-u-ude!' *surfer voice* ( Audience laughs, cheers and claps for at least 15 seconds before she says...) 'Na-a-rly!' *in that same surfer voice* 'Ya-a-ah!' (more laughing) So, Steve doesn't smoke pot, neither do I but...Steve is Catholic so he just kind of likes standing next to anything illegal. (Audience goes like "hooo-oh-oh-oh" laugh then cheers and claps!) It like gives him his own special Catholic high. His eyes are like this...*imitates Steve by dropping jaw open and widening her eyes looking flabberghasted and taking quick shallow 'ho-ho. ho-ho' breaths* (audience laughs) Steve says, "Eh, it's great fun, eh.' *in a sort of embarrassed higher pitched voice* (Obnoxious group of guys yells "We love you JEWEL!" lots of other cheering etc...Jewel pauses before saying) ALL of you...its.....(pause)........dangerous. *she says quickly* It's illegal in some countries actually *voice fading out* SO!...Okay settle. Sit, settle, easy. (Really loud obnoxious guy yells at the top of his lungs something that sounds like "I en sucken YOU!" With You unexplanable in words but really funny tone! And Jewel retorts...) Is this your first beer of the night or are you....(inaudible as crowd laughs at guy!) So Steve very generously offers to help carry the pot to the boat (laughter) *imitating Steve* 'No, no no...it's no problem!' *then proceeds to walk stage left while looking directly forward at the audience while holding a pretend big huge bag of pot over her right shoulder with a huge grin on her face!* (crowd responds laughing...mostly me!) They're carrying these big bags, like big potato bags, and uh, we get on the boat, and get the boat all loaded up and we head back for shore and we're thinking, 'What LUCK! is this, that this would happen on our 2 days off, ya know?' And these cops are like, 'Hey Jewel, well, you guys have been good luck, there's gonna be a party tonight cause we've been trying to catch these guys for so long, ya know...do you wanna come to our party?' And I'm like, 'I bet there's gonna be a party!' (laughs) 'I heard about Mexico...' (clears voice so it's not really clear what she said there) *with renewed vigor in her voice and louder* I'm thinking it's a set-up. I was thinking me and Steve are gonna get framed and half the pot is gonna go missing and, we're gonna end up in jail the rest of our lives and I'm like, 'No thank-you...we're actually... just gonna ....head out, check out of Rosalita's Deluxe Resort (laughter), cause we did check in legally. (suspicious laughter like we don't beleive her) But Steve had to insist on helping Un-load the pot...(laughs)...good guy that he is, Doing his civic duty - Helping where help is needed. *up beat fun voice* So we un-load the pot and the guy says, 'Jewel,uh, and Steve you've been, you know, Such help...why don't you take some?' (crowd loves this of course) Steve goes, 'OK!' *jewel says in quick, esasperated voice* 'Don't, doh, dah, doh,., Uuuuggghhhh!! *like Homer Simpson sort of....only better!* His hands are shaking he's so like, *imitates Steve by shaking hands pretending to reach for some pot and flipping bottom lip in and out making a 'flplplplllp' noise* And this guy has this gun and he goes, 'Take more.' (ho-ho-ho's from the audience.) *Jewels face is like "you'd better not do this...mommy help!"* Steve's like, 'Alright, don't get pushy.' *she says in quiet inferior sounding voice* I'm like, 'Steve? *whining* Don't do this...what are you doing? We're gonna end up in jail!...This is where they, like, come out of the bushes and they grab us.' He's like, 'Jewel, this is a guy with a gun, with the Law, telling me - pft-insisting...saying 'please'....take pot...it's like having a nun give it to you! IT ISN'T ILLEGAL!' (crowd claps and cheers...) So he takes a pretty big handful and we gave it to the cook at Rosalita's Deluxe Resort...She's a 60 year old lady and she's like, *imitating spanish accented old woman with baby voice* 'No,no,no.....Oookaaay!' (laughter!) 'but only for my arthritis.' *sing-songy almost tones* And then I thought, 'Well this is a Kodak Moment! This is something you share with your friends and loved ones.' So we get a picture of me holding an AK47 and Steve has a kilo of pot at this point, and our arms are around the federalies going like...' *Puts her arms out around imaginary people posing in muscle man poses,...does about 4 different ones* YEH! *lets out a big breath* So you're probably wondering what the point is here *she laughs at herself* Um, we did get a little bit of work done and we wrote a song on that trip (girl yells "Let's hear it Jewel!") and this is the song we wrote together.... (guitar starts in on YWMFM) Hope you liked! SMiles and SUnshines Erin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 11:29:21 CDT From: "Brian H" Subject: * A New Jewel Site!!

It's updated through Hartford other than two shows I still have to get to. I've continued to include all of Steve Poltz's setlists & I'm adding Rusted Root's as well for those into this stuff. (The link is below the calendar screen at www.jeweljk.com) There's also a lot of new information on the calendar & headline news areas including the general theatrical release day for Ride With The Devil, Jewel's next album info, her Grand Ole Opry appearance with Merle Haggard and of course all TV related info. You can also find all the new tour merchandise at the website store. I'll also soon be introducing you to Wendy, who will be working directly with EDAs & online fans to include YOU in some new areas of Jewel's website, soon to be unveiled. Stay tuned. I'm helping Jewel resurrect some more old ones. "Carnivore" seemed like an obvious place to start & more will surface soon. That newest song that many are asking about has no official title, but for now, its being catalogued as "Does Anyone Still Believe In Love". I hope you enjoyed Storytellers. It's fun seeing so many EDA faces on TV. Best wishes, Alan ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V4 #459 ***************************
