While she promotes her latest album 0304, she's also plotting her next volume of poetry, which threatens to be even sexier than her recent makeover, as well as a new movie, which she plans to act in as well as produce. "When I started [this record], a lot of the lyrics came out of poems I've written recently," Jewel said a few weeks ago. "Poems are very different than songs, and my poetry generally has been a lot steamier than my songwriting, for some reason. I never realized that until this record" (see "Jewel Bites Into A Musical Pickle-And-Peanut Butter Sandwich"). Jewel even had a poem-turned-song rejected by Santana because of its sexual angle. "I originally wrote Yes U Can' for Santana," she said of the 0304 song that asks, "Would u like 2 take a ride?/ All u have 2 do is come inside." "It was too coquettish for him." Unlike her million-selling plus collection of poetry, "A Night Without Armor," which went into 15 printings and landed on the New York Times bestseller list for 16 weeks, Jewel said that her latest volume will be leaner, containing more recent and more adult material. "I left a lot of poems out of my last book because small children were going to read it, and this book is going to be a lot more [illicit]," she said. "In my first book, I really tried to include a lot of my early writing. Poetry can be really inaccessible to kids. It's kind of a scary thing because you usually read [Edgar Allan] Poe and things that are hard to get into, and I really felt like it was important to make it accessible, readable. I wanted to not alienate kids that were reading it, and I wanted to make them feel like they could write as well." This time around, Jewel is aiming for a different audience  lovers. "It's just going to be love poems, so I hope it's going to be a gift book, like something everyone gives to their boyfriend or girlfriend," she said, noting that it would be nice to have the volume finished and out in time for Valentine's Day. In the meantime, the singer/poet is also looking to expand her acting resume beyond her debut in Ang Lee's Civil War drama "Ride With the Devil." Jewel procured a script last year called "Wave," an ensemble piece that centers on the reunion of a mother and her estranged son in a small island town. "It's a pretty serious film, but it's written well," said Jewel. "It's pretty lighthearted [and] at the same time, it tackles some very serious subjects. It's about a young male character's relationship with his mom. [She] went to jail to protect him from his father, and when she gets out, their relationship unfolds. He realizes that things weren't quite as they seemed, and it's about them working their relationship out." Jewel plans to play the male character's girlfriend, and she said her production company is currently talking to Goldie Hawn about directing the flick. "We're trying to get the deal made," she said. "It's really a much different kind of business. It takes a lot of time to get things done." The singer envisions the mother's role being played by a Shirley MacLaine-type. As for the male lead, she said she's pretty torn about the casting. "There's a lot of great mysterious brooding young actors right now." Don't look for Jewel on the big screen anytime soon, though. What with promoting her album and planning a fall tour, she said that she barely has time to finish the projects she's already started, let alone find new ones. "I look at scripts all the time," she said. "It's really hard for me to find something really good. You either want over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek action, or you want it to be really good storytelling. And it's hard for me, with the schedule I have, to find the right script I feel really good about moving forward on." Jennifer Vineyard ~~`boyCradle` Proud To Be A Pinoy!!!

I'm getting sick of ranting in Jewel's defense non-stop when > people just ignore it and act like I or anyone else has never ranted about > before. Its getting horribly repetitive, and pretty pointless since you > ignore whatever other e-mails have been sent to the list that kinda prove > you wrong. you know, and I'm not trying to be bitchy here, but it's kind of amusing when you are talking about other people ignoring other emails sent to the list when you obviously didn't grasp anything in that email besides the part "Jewel bashing"... and it's not just you, this is just the last one I've gotten to where the only part of the email people seem to pick out is the jewel bashing part without paying attention to the rest of the email, because everyone is too quick to jump on someone else's back for their opinion instead of just allowing other people to think what they want. Before I get to the point - just mull this over *everyone*... how likely do you think it is that you're going to change the persons mind? how likely do you think it is that person is going to read it & go "oh wow, I was absolutely wrong in my *opinion* of jewel"... not very likely. and to the point, this post was not made by someone on the list, they forwarded it from another list, so therefore, not only can the person not read your rant in jewel's defense, but they also aren't ignoring anything, past rants or emails... so you don't have to get so exasperated. :) ~ Sandy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2003 18:22:49 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: [EDA] FWD: JeweLink: July 3, 2003 Here is the latest issue of JeweLink, directly from Jewel's "people", if you want to get a copy of this directly as each issue comes out, you can sub- scribe to it by sending a blank email to join-jewelink@list.jeweljk.com ******************************************** JeweLink - The Official Jewel Communications List ******************************************** In this edition of JeweLink: ***JEWEL OFF TO EUROPE FOR PROMOTIONAL TOUR ***TOTAL REQUEST LIVE/OPEN HOUSE PARTY/VIEWER'S CHOICE AWARDS ***NOTES FROM MrBB/FALL TOUR/SCC MUSIC QUEST UPDATE ******************************************** ***JEWEL OFF TO EUROPE FOR PROMOTIONAL TOUR Jewel travels to Europe next week for a two-week promotional visit to begin laying the groundwork for the release of her next single and new "0304" album over there.

What do you think of their career move? LISA SAYS: I think that Jewel and Liz Phair actually did the image change on purpose. I think that Jewel is an artist at heart as well as a smart cookie- she knows what she's doing. The fact is, she can vocally pull off what she's doing. I don't know if the style is my favorite- it reminds me of what we seriously wore to highschool dances in the 80's, but it does sound modern, the lyrics are much better than the lyrics on other music like that, and she is getting tons of attention- and probably selling records because of it. Liz Phair did the exact same thing. I think she's getting more press than normal, she's making music that she feels good about and when she goes back to doing music the way we normally expect her to, we'll think of it as a comeback, or a return to her roots. I'm planning on having a big chunk of my record to be acoustic- this is my roots- although I read somewhere that my roots were Natalie Merchant and Tracy Chapman. Nope. I was into rock and early David Bowie, the Police and the Cure. Those guys have acoustic guitars too, you know. ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V8 #306 ***************************
