It is a weekly gay community magazine distributed in New Your City. The cover has the pic from the rolling stone magazine review of This Way, and the heading says "She's a little bit country, she's a l;ittle bit rock and roll, Jewel is back with a fresh new album, and is destined to become a gay icon." Here's the article-- FAMILY JEWEL The Self-Proclaimed "Chick Singer" Turned Media Force Is Back With A Fresh New Album. by Gregg Saphiro photo: Ellen Von Unwer I interviewed Jewel for the first time about six years ago when her first album, Pieces of You, began its ascent of the charts, putting this articulate young singer/songwriter on the map. She was an earnest and optimistic performer eager to conquer the music world and to make a difference. The embodiment of wide-eyed country girl innocence (she would even yodel onstage), she also appeared as Dorothy Gale in an all-star concert production of The Wizard of Oz aired on TNT. At a pre-concert "meet and greet" back then, I asked her if she had ever sung "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" during one of her concerts. She told me no, and that was the end of that. Later that evening, at the concert, as the Alaska-raised Miss Kilcher took the stage, her band began to play but she held up her hand to stop them. Suddenly, she broke into an a cappella version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." I was thrilled, and flattered myself to think I had been somehow responsible. But this detour was a move completely in character for Jewel, as we never quite know what to expect from this multi-talented woman who's produced three hit albums, books of poetry, and even starred opposite Tobey Maguire and Skeet Ulrich in Ang Lee's Civil War drama Ride With the Devil. True to form, Jewel's new album, This Way (Atlantic), signals another departure for the smart blonde chanteuse. This Way is, by far, the most commercial-sounding of her three albums of original material. The catchy first single, "Standing Still," was co-written by Jewel and Rick Nowels (who has written songs for Stevie Nicks, Belinda Carlisle and Deborah Cox, among others), and doesn't sound like anything she's done before. In fact, Jewel and her co-producer have given the album a rockier edge, as you can hear on "Everybody Needs Someone Sometime," "Do You Want To Play?," the country-tinged "Cleveland," the bluesy "Love Me, Just Leave Me Alone," (we've all been there before) and the Eastern-influenced "Serve The Ego." Fear not, songs such as "Jesus Loves You," "Break Me," "Till We Run Out Of Road," sound like the Jewel we all know and love. Since the release of your last album of original studio material we've lived through the rise of Britney Spears and the rise and fall of the Spice Girls. Where do you see yourself, and your new album, fitting into the current music scene? Well, I've never really had a talent for doing what's happening. [laughs] The first time I ever heard my first single, "Who Will Save Your Soul?" on the radio, it was played in between Nirvana and Soundgarden. It's sort of been like that for me. Now [the new single] "Standing Still" is coming out amongst Destiny's Child and Britney. All I know how to do is what I do. [laughs] And you do it very well. [laughs] But it's always a hard sell to radio. The song "Cleveland" has the line "Vogue makes me nervous/I feel so plain," and yet you've been on the cover of Vogue, not to mention Glamour, Seventeen, Rolling Stone, and People. Do you really feel insecure about your looks? I wrote that song when I was 20. Do you feel more secure now? That actually wasn't a lyric of insecurity. It9s more of a fact. I don't know if you feel that way when you look through fashions. I have a lot of male friends that feel the same. They just feel compared. They compare themselves to what they're seeing. I don't know if that's insecurity as much as basically what fashion magazines count on. That hasn't necessarily changed, although with time and maturity you learn to hopefully enjoy what you have. The song "Jesus Loves You" sounds like a political statement along the lines of the songs "Pieces of You." How did that song come about? I was just taking a walk along a frozen river during the winter. It just came to me. In addition to all of your writing and performing, you're also an activist. Can you tell us about Higher Ground for Humanity, the non-profit foundation that you co-founded with your mother. Years ago when my mom and I were both living in our car, we wanted to start an organization. When record labels came courting me, I wasn't sure I could handle success. But I knew that you had to be a very strong vessel to weather the storm of fame. I decided that I would need to have very strong goals of why I was doing what I was doing. Because if my reasons were purely vapid, I felt like I would have no anchor. That humanitarian goal, stemming from the fact that I was living in a car and living on hand-outs, and also because I was raised amidst welfare and those types of things, was something that I was always writing about in my songs, from "Who Will Save Your Soul?" to "Pieces Of You." I decided that I would get into the music business if I felt like I could help people, and if I could help myself feel less alone at the same time. It was only after being in the business for four years that I could start an organization, and that's Higher Ground. One of the projects that we started from the ground up is called the Clearwater Project. In just the last two years, we've already set up water sites in twelve countries. Most recently, we went to Tibet and found a village that was in desperate need of water and we installed a clean water well. We're also looking at India, Honduras and Mexico. In the last few years you've also become an actress. Do you have plans to appear in any more movies, or perhaps appear in a television sitcom or drama? I haven't looked at TV very much. I'm very interested in films because it only takes a few months to shoot, and that suits my music schedule better. I haven't found a script that I like, although I hope to do another movie next summer. On one of your first songs, "Pieces of You," you sang very openly about homophobia, which won you many gay and lesbian fans. Have you ever performed at any Gay Pride rallies or AIDS benefits? I've often been in the middle of something else, but I've done AIDS benefits certainly, over the years. I haven't gotten to actually do Pride rallies, which I always thought would be a lot of fun. On the new album you mention disco twice-in "Do You Want To Play?" and in "Serve The Ego." Is that a coincidence or have you become a disco queen? [laughs] Neither. A lot of my favorite writers, like Pablo Neruda... If you look through his books, they have themes. Captain's Verses will mention "dust" and "blue" and "rose" and "lantern" over and over and over, almost in every poem. It almost becomes his own private vocabulary, his own language. It means something specific to him. I don't know if it's that influence that causes me to use words that way. I noticed that on my album, Spirit, too. I think "flame" came up over and over. [laughs] I don't know why, to tell you the truth. Along the "disco" lines, how would you feel if remixers, say like Thunderpuss, got their hands on one of the songs from the new album and transformed you into a club diva? I like club music. I think it's a lot of fun. I also like experimentation. I like changing things. I've never really been overly precious about, "It's my art. It can't be changed." I like to hear what people do with stuff I write. Or I might do it myself. If that happened you'd become a gay icon, you know. [laughs] You mean I'm not already? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2001 00:39:48 EST From: Pixi42@aol.com Subject: [EDA] NJC: Fisher The Band :: hi! have any of u guys ever heard of Fisher? i heard one of their songs on one of those shows on the wb. beautiful voice, so i downloaded a couple songs from their website, there is only one located there but it has a link to somewhere else u can go to download other songs. . if u are gonna check it out i suggest the song i will love you! heres the link- http://www.digitalsound.net/music.html =0) Heidi }:}i{:{ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Dec 2001 06:02:10 +0000 From: "now and zen girl" Subject: [EDA] NJC: derrick/adrian/arguments on the list well i have tried, and done pretty well lately, i think, about ignoring all derrick related posts, but this one posted by adrian was too true and too perfect to prove my point, i just couldnt ignore it! a big huge thank you to adrian for pointing out derricks erogant stupidity! adrian quoted derrick on this: >Derrick wrote "actually I do believe I am the funny, brilliant, >interesting >guy I say I am. :-) Since I am.

The part towards the end where she's on the "burning bush" set and it's a close up of her face and she is looking over her shoulder. She does this look where it looks like she is looking at you checking you out and then sort of raises her eyebrows. Whew...I dunno why, but that does it for me ;-) Lew www.coilback.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2001 07:32:10 -0800 (PST) From: Mirko Serkovic Subject: [EDA] Z100 Poll Hi! Has anyone seen the www.z100.com poll? Jewel has like 6.95% or so... it's so weird. Five For Fighting are currently winning with 17.37%... and they had one of the lowest percentage of votes in the older poll... It all looks so strange... maybe the poll has broken down?
