I got really excited when they mentioned Jewel :) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:16:17 +1000 From: Barry Howarth Subject: [EDA] JEWEL MENTION ON TV SHOW Hi angels, It seems to me that the writer of this TV show has a Jewel-like sense of humour (her love of irony) and more than a little knowledge of Jewel. It is obviously an ironic comment on Jewel's poetry -- damning it with faint praise. Also, contrasting her poetry with that of the great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda seems to indicate that the writer knows how much Jewel likes Neruda's poetry (after all, he turns up in a couple of her songs -- Hands and Louisa and Her Blue Guitar for sure, possibly others). So, a tick for the writer, even if he/she is a bit anti-Jewel. Take care, Barry Howarth PS: Jewel said Louisa and Her Blue Guitar was inspired by a Neruda poem, but I've never been able to find that particular poem (Neruda wrote a lot and I certainly have not read all of it).
