Whoever it is hates Jewel. After last weeks digs I thought it was over. But this week within the first 5 min it continues. The main character is walking down the street and sees a poster for a singer. Who's name is Zoe and looks an awful lot like Jewel (thank God for Tivo pausing) and the name of the album in Kewel. In the same font Jewel spells her name. Then the character goes on a diatribe about how that is what is wrong with music today. Singers selling out and image being more important than substance. Does an former EDA write this stuff?? It's almost worth not watching the show for. - -Teresa the sad angel ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 22:46:34 -0500 From: MrBB Subject: [EDA] message from Jewel This was just posted in Unedited and I thought you would enjoy it.
