First off, my opinion about the article My opinion: I think the author had a good and interesting conversation with Jewel.. but, apparently he has this idea in his head, that Jewel is a bitch. SO, he took out all the quotes which where somewhat coïnceited and arrogant, and some also funny. I think he switched the general interview to one side a little too much, and this misportrays Jewel. I do think, that Jewel has roughened a little over the years, less outspoken, more polished, less trusting. Jewel's probably like.. "Yippy, new questions... not.. " However, I also get an impression that the author simply picked some books about Jewel and copied them... and made it a little tougher.. Kinda like what Jewel said once.. "I'm sweet, but I cuss alot" kinda way he portrayed her.. Which is right (probably), however a lot of people who don't know Jewel (not that I know her : ( ... just a little better from concerts and interviews) think she's a bitch and fame got to her head or something. the article itself: Jewel Kilcher - A rough diamond Since her debutalbum "Pieces of You" went triple platinum in no time two years ago, singer Jewel Kilcher is commonly referred to as innocent poet in a bad bad world. In reality she's, despite her age of 25, a tough lady who has been on stage since the age of 6. And raised in a man's world, as the showbusiness still is, she has perfected her defensive mechanisms. And now this rough Alaskan diamond also exposes it. Next month her debut-film "Ride with the Devil" by director Ang Lee AND her second book "Life stories" will be released throughout the US. Our editor spoke to Jewel during her promotional tour about her second album. by Jip Golsteijn AMSTERDAM - "When I was fifteen years old, I used to hitchhike through Alaska," says Jewel Kilcher, "everybody used to do that over here, however girls of my age wouldn't do it very often. I can remember pulling out a knife to one of my schoolfriends dad. He had given me a ride, and stopped before the Homer motel, the city wherein we lived. He asked me if it's wasn't dangerous for a little girl, all alone in such an angry, dangerous world. I pulled my knife as fast as I could, which I always wore in my boot, and asked in a tone which I knew old men apparently liked: "Would yóu fuck with me?" Luckily he didn't report me, but he forbad his daughter, who was worse than me though, to hang out with me. Since the success of her debut-album "Pieces of you" and Top Ten all over the world with the first two singles "WWSYS and YWMFM" an army of professionals is taking care of her in every asset possible. And not just that; in interviews total strangers ask her things as if they have guardianship over her. "As long as it sticks to that, because most of them would like to pretend us to announce our engagement by Christmas. I have always had that effect on men. Half horny half fatherly, I guess." Cabin "Yeah, I was definitely raised in a cabin. But it was big enough to contain my mom and dad and two brothers, so it wasn't completely Davy Crockett. We had no TV at home, no central heating, except for a kitchen range and we had no running water. We ate what we grew, bred cows as slaughter cattle and made ice out of bilberries, milk and snow To add something to the household income, us children worked at the local fish factory at the assembly line. It was a tough time, with working days of over 16 hours a day. But because everybody did the same, it didn't bother anyone. Lately I only have to get up at 5am to be at a videoshoot." "My mother and my father, what else, formed a folk duo. I was allowed to come along age six and onwards. "Just like the Van Trapp's" my grandparents used to say, when we came over. Angry, because we were on our way to one of the hotels nearby, or about to perform at a lounge or bar, instead of staying over for dinner. The Kilchers had quite a show - some kind of lecture with light images and music, about the "Swiss family history" - but all I had to do was yodel. I have no idea why I was so good at it, but I enjoyed all the attention it gave me. I must have realized that showbusiness was my future. I wanted to learn every asset of the busines, even though I was only eight years old." "My parents' divorce will also have contributed to it, which was also going on at that time. So I got to thinking, I have to be able to do all this when my father's not around anymore. But my mother was the one who disappeared from my daily life. Her at the street corner, fading in the rearview-mirror: I'll never ever forget that image. I loved my father, but after the divorce, he acted downright mean to women for a while. Even if they were eight years old. I quickly learned to whine and coax, and if that didn't help, cry. I can still do that. It is just that I hate it so much, but I can make hearts, especially men's hearts melt, with "spontaneous" tears. "As I got older I developed another kind of cuteness. I noticed that tough, wood-cutters and oil workers, brought in by helicopters from the polar areas for some entertainment, starting to look at me more and more glassy. One, a roughneck of the worst kind, once passed me a note after a concert, with a dime in it, in my hand. "Call me when you're sixteen." But they weren't all that "romantic." No wonder I was a lot less naïve than my father, concerning my expanding sexuality. He practically forced me to pose for a friend of his, who was a "professional photographer." To my horror he even left me alone with that man. Not that he was up to real terrible things - - he just made me wear a dress which used to his wife's and he combed my hair - but he was arrested six months later... For childpornography, for crying out loud. My dad had been crying in my arms for an hour: " I'll never let you do anything against your will anymore."' "After that he only cried once again, out of pride, when I came home with my first black boyfriend. Such an enlightened girl, that was what he had always hoped for. But I wasn't enlightened, I was levite. Men came and men went. It seemed like "We are the world" Sean Penn was one of very few whites in my "collection." No, there wasn't a future, he was even separated with Robin Wright, while she was pregnant of their second child. But to be honest, he could make me cry for my mother. "I don't what the final straw was, but when I was fifteen I moved to my mom in Anchorage. For the first time, my life was a little structured. I was definitely up for that. But... not for long of course. When I was able to get a scholarship - through a boyfriend of course - I went straight to Ann Arbor, Michigan. With my mother's blessing of course. After I graduated I even went back with her to San Diego, California, where she had moved to. It was like I was a child again: I lived in a car on the premises, and kept myself alive with temporary jobs. I only ate a decent meal, when my bosses invited me for a meal. That was about all I got, for my flirtatious acting. Because we were so poor, I had to walk around with a kidney-infection a little too long. In the end, my mother would drive me from hospital to hospital, with the hope that somebody would accept her bad check of $100. When I had survived, against all expectations, I decided I'd only do what I apparently was born for. Sing. Reconciliation "After being regular singer at the Innerchange Coffeehouse in San Diego, I was offered a contract by Atlantic. I was nineteen when "Pieces of You" was released. The cd sold ok, but it would take 14 months before the roof went off the house.Around that time it was like all the diaries I had written as a child, could be read by everybody. I could only reconcile with that when people seemed to love it. But I'm very happy that I, after two years, I can show a more adult side of myself on my new cd "Spirit". I've been touring the globe for a little while now. Thirty shows in thirty days isn't an exception. But I'm used to it. Since I was a child." Well that was it... and my fingers hurt now :-) Later, Maffe Aap aka Jeroen Thijssen The (m)angel who just has cable internet ICQ: 46651892 (Reddiablo) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Sep 1999 14:55:19 -0400 From: "Kelli Coppens" Subject: * A gift for Jewel at WPB show?

Hello, everyone..... I was just thinking, I know it's to late for anyone to do anything now probably..... but I was thinking that If Jewel has another all EDA audience thing that maybe they could do something like let the EDA's that haven't been to anything get first pick or something like that...... because I was talking with some other EDA's and they also thought that, that would be a good idea so that everyone gets a turn.... Well, that was my 2 cents.

Also did anyone who saw Jewel in Bristol record the performance? I'd really like that too. I'd be so grateful if anyone can help. Also, about this lack of success in Europe thing. I think the only way Jewel is going to break into the European/U.K market is if she releases an uptempo rock song like Down or even the Gods gift to women song. I know it will never happen. I guess we just have to wait for some new material. Jewel could always be packaged as the next Shania Twain (guaranteed succes), but that would be totally stupid and pointless. Just my 2pence worth.

Hey there all you So. Cal eda's! Just wanted to drop a post about the coolest LRC that went on Saturday at Jason and Sonja's pad. ( if all goes as planned, I'll be hosting the next one sometime in early Oct.). Aside from the 105 degree wheather the day was totally enjoyable. At 5:00 it was still scorching hot in Lake Elsinore, but I was looking forward to spending time with the eda's I haven't seen in a while. We were welcomed with Jewel on the TV and carne asada on the BBQ. I was pleased to see Jen McBride and lots of other local performers already there. After schmoozing, eating, drinking, guitar sing-alonging, and just chatting, the concert began. It was cooling off by then (thank god!) and the awaited performers set up their stage in the middle of the living room as eda's gathered around and took their seats on the couches, chairs, and even the floor. On the wall above the "performance area" a small sign was posted reading " God bless the living room tour" - Cindy lee Berryhill. And so began the concert. Each performer took turns as it was a shared set. The performers were: Jason Mraz- a San Diego local favourite, Jennifer McBride and Sweet Duration, Jamie (the jewel girl), and Carlos Omeda featuring his brother Toka on some kind of funky bongo drums. Each performer contributed their own style and the variation flowed beautifully. I don't even remember what time it ended but I know that we all had a blast. I think Joe (does everyone know Joe) had brought a recording device and recorded some or all of the show. I'm sure he'll post about it later. So that was the LRC in Lake Elsinore. Thanks to Jason and Sonja for letting us mess up your house and thanks of course to all the performers and eda's who attended. I hope to see you all at the next LRC, at my house! ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V4 #527 ***************************
