(I guess this makes it SJC? :-) . Paul shad 96c / uw cs 2001 / mac activist / fumbler / eda / headliner / navy-souper fan of / sophie b. / steve poltz / habs / bills / 49ers / "Speak your mind 'cause this life's going fast" -- Emm Gryner, "Julia" http://www.joanjett.com/ An Open Letter to Rolling Stone This letter was written to rolling stone after their "women in "rock" issue was published, but was not printed by their editors. Please forward it to all the rocking people you know!!!!! I tried to find some cleverly worded way to express my disgust with your "Women in Rock" issue, but what i have to say is really quite simple: You guys are completely retarded. By RS standards, Rock is no longer a style of music but a trendy costume to be whipped up by expensive stylists and slapped onto the latest pop tart barbie doll. Give a girl some tight pants and a spiky bracelet and POOF! She ROCKS! Your poor choice of cover girls and featured artists brings to mind the Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions. There is nothing necessarily wrong with the breast-baring models inside..but we all understand that they have NOTHING TO DO WITH SPORTS--Which just might be offensive to women who are interested in sports or who might even be (gasp) real athletes. Yes, Britney has a talented stylist and yes, somebody gave Shakira a Guns & Roses t-shirt to wear..but they ARE NOT NOW NOR WILL THEY EVER BE ROCK. Maybe it's naive of me to expect any glimmer of rock'n'roll credibility OR respect for women from a magazine whose cover shot is regularly a naked underweight actress. The thing is , I AM a woman musician with a rock band, and as we all are I am STARVED for any little crumb of recognition that real women rockers might be thrown. So like a sucker I find myself short another five bucks ..and pissed enough to write my first letter to an editor. Avril Lavigne gets some studded accessories from Hot Topic so now she's "upholding the brazen tradition of teenage outrage"???!! Are you SERIOUS? And could someone please explain to me why people keep insisting on referring to PINK as rock? Wasn't she doing the white girl hip hop thing a minute ago? Yeah, she performed on the Aerosmith tribute show --big deal..she was on the Janet Jackson tribute show just before that--Whatever's trendy. WHO CARES. She's a Spice Girl reject...but I digress. Jewel and Mandy friggin' Moore have full page features as Rock Icons...Meanwhile Joan Jett gets one line. ONE LINE. Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, who have never stopped touring, recently did 10 days in the Middle East playing for the troops stationed in Afghanistan. In AFGHANISTAN, Joan would come onstage wearing a birkha, which she ripped off and stomped on before blazing through the purest and nastiest rock show ANYWHERE. But even in the RS WOMEN IN ROCK issue, a story like that gets ONE SENTENCE on the bottom of the last page of Random Notes. Britney's Rock credentials? Well, she butchers the song "I Love Rock'n'Roll" on her latest record, and when asked about it the genius replies "Well, I've always loved Pat Benatar." And SHE is your Rock issue cover girl?? You should be REALLY embarrassed. Sleater Kinney was the only rock group listed on the cover..and they got only half a page. Ashanti, the r&b back up singer who can't seem to do anything without "featuring Jah Rule," has two pages. What about the Donnas? The Yeah Yeah Yeahs? The Distillers? A mag like RS has the power to shine important light on groups like these--instead they are afterthoughts, and that valuable spotlight is wasted on the same overexposed pop princesses WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ROCK. In your own letter from the editor you have the hypocritical balls to say "rock radio won't touch female artists, while the pop factory keeps churning out soundalike clones, and ambitious musicians with something to say find themselves left out in the cold." The pages that follow those words are a blatant display that Rolling Stone magazine is happily working for the factory now too. If the issue had been called "Women in Music"..or maybe "Some Cute Girls with Top 10 Records out Right Now"..I would have no beef with it. Corny as it may sound, ROCK is something which is still meaningful and even sacred to some of us. Use the word "rock" in bold letters next to a picture of Britney Fucking Spears, and you're turning your whole publication into a joke...and an offensive joke at that. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 04:59:44 -0500 From: Mike Connell Subject: [EDA] j ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 03:14:56 -0800 (PST) From: Christy Subject: [EDA] Flowers for Jewel and more... I saw Jewel in concert in Tokyo Easter weekend. We went to the show on Saturday night, and since it was so good we ended up going on Sunday night as well. Well, being the nice American gals we were, we remembered it was Easter and thought it might be nice to buy Jewel some tulips since she was so far from home on the holiday. But, security wouldn't let us in with them. Try explaining to a Japanese fellow what you are attempting to do with them... Not too easy if you don't speak Japanese. Anyhow, how do you get your flowers, etc... to Jewel?? Is American security more lax? I wasn't going to throw them at her or anything. Just set them on the stage. :( Also, I'm still looking for someone who has the tabs or could tab LMJLMA in standard tuning. Any help?? Thanks.

(which was wonderful) and she still refered to Ty as her boyfriend, so I don't think I'd believe anything about her dating someone else. I just wanted to say the Akron show was AMAZING!!! Jewel had a little cold, but you couldn't tell. She sounded beautiful and she was very funny and she told 2 stories i hadn't heard live before. The first was the race car driver story and the second was her bucking story in which she makes a BIG joke out of falling off the colt. She was talking about taking vicadon for the first time. Funny stuff. If ANYONE happened to tape last night show. I would love a copy. just wanted to put in my 2 cents. luv, Teresa The I drove 2 and 1/2 hours from Pittsburgh to Akron to see Jewel last night angel tface151@aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 14:15:13 -0500 From: "Sandy" Subject: [EDA] Jewel on VH1 *right now* For those of you who want to catch it, Jewel is coming up with Ty on a "hot couples" thing on all access on VH1, right now :) ~ Sandy ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 15:13:04 -0500 From: shawn e williams Subject: Re: [EDA] [NJC] Joan Jett is *pissed* at Rolling Stone Rock on!! I agree with all of it, except the part about Jewel. I mean, what's up with that? Her music has meaning. I thought the Ashanti part was pretty damn funny and true!

I was front row centre for a Patty Griffin show on saturday (and she was amazing!), so I figured I wouldn't need my flash (plus, I didn't want to blind her!) and used it on only two photos. They came out well, the others looked kinda cool (if you like molten guitars) but weren't photos that really made Patty look like one human form (http://www.geocities.com/celinesband/patty/patty.html if you want to know what I'm talking about). What did I do wrong?! Sarah >I was particularly happy with the fact that the venue allowed cameras- >without flash. No one ever listens to that requirement however. I want to >point out to everyone on the list that the flash on your compact camera IS >ABSOLUTELY USELESS after about 24 ft... so if you're farther away from that >you're flashing at the artists unnecessarily.

Up for grabs are opening spots on Jewel's 2003 tour. With the deadline recently extended to January 15th, musicians have plenty of time to polish up those demos and send them in. Many already have and, from the looks of things, this is going to one tight contest. If you're a musician looking for that big break, or if you know one that is, get to www.soulcitycafe.com for all the details on how to enter this national competition of artistry and skill. There's a category for bands and one for solo artists, so when the dust settles there will be two winners to step up and onto Jewel's stage. Does opening for Jewel help an artist's career? We recently asked rising star Jason Mraz, who opened for Jewel during her New Wild West Tour. "She gave us a chance and we got such a huge response," Mraz explained. "We're going to be opening for Dave Matthews next month. I like to think it was extended to us because of the great run we had in September, on the Jewel tourSoul City Cafe is totally cool, encouraging people to be their own artist. Jewel's showing that it's possible." Regional finalists will be determined by industry experts and the Soul City Cafe community will take it from there. So whether you're a musician or a music lover, the Quest may be just the thing you're looking for. Don't miss out!

I'm a bit tired. And, I have yet to compose all of my thoughts. All that I'm going to say for now is WOW!! I feel very good about the tour - the shows that I saw - the people that I met. I thought that I would get to the end of it all and just want for more. But, it's not that way yet. (In fact I don't mind the idea of a few consecutive days without driving several hours or moving hotel rooms.) But, the way that last night's show went and the setlist along with the WWSYS with Stuart and the holidays coming up - it all seems to be tied in a neat little bow. (All those people that I met - ESPECIALLY those that recorded Akron - please e-mail me and keep in touch - I ran into so many people on the band tour who said they would and never did) I know that I posted the highlights about the Maine shows etc and said that I would follow that up. But, the aftermath of the comments from Newark (which I won't discuss anymore) just took away from a lot of what I was going to post about that week's shows (after all, it was actually a highlight that I was going to post about). In any case, I know that everyone can read the setlists. And, not that many of us can make it to a ton of shows - so I'm going to try and compose my thoughts and describe some of the highlights again. But, as for now - I'm going to bed soon. Lastly, I have some very nice recordings of some of these recent shows that I have to transfer from DAT to CDR (which will be a while because I have to play catch up after p[laying so much hooky from work and school) - I remember everyone that I promised a copy to while on the tour - those interested in trading - please send me your lists and we'll put something together over the holidays. Later, Dave ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V7 #514 ***************************
