I don't blame those that hate me because I am able to express myself clearly. I think that most of the time when people meet me, both spiritualy and physically, sexual and otherwise, that they are very intimidated. That includes people that are critical of my soul- words. By the way, if you get a chance, then pick up Frank Swart's new solo record, Master of the Covenent, it has the song, Chris' Lament on it that Patty covered this December in Baltimore...

Look who's bitching. Sheesh, some of you people get SO nasty. If you don't like an artist, you can say so. Well, yeah, you can say anything you want. But you really don't need to get rude about it. If someone has a Jewel question, her name is in the subject line. Delete it. Don't just sit here and bitch about how you don't like her. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 15:08:43 EST From: CornflkGl@aol.com Subject: Re: Subject: MM: a JEWEL question, Not PG [CornflkGl@aol.com] In a message dated 2/9/99 12:44:44 PM EST, RSIMMONS@Allstate.COM writes: << Jewel chews! >> Huh ? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 15:54:21 -0600 From: "James P" Subject: MM: patty In an effort (once again) to get back to Patty, I thought I'd throw this question out there: Is there any Patty Griffin merchandise out there other than the 2 albums? Maybe T-shirts, programs, etc...? If so, does anyone know where I could get one/some? Did she ever "officially" release singles in CD or tape format? Any info on this would be helpful.

Wow, Mike, for a second there you sounded EXACTLY like an ex-boyfriend of mine. I'll tell you the same thing I told him: Get off of your pedestal. Just because someone does not agree with, pokes fun at, or challenges something you say DOES NOT mean that they are intimidated by you. In fact, I thought Sean's response was rather funny and provided great comic relief to this boring debate on Jewel and her music. So what if you can express yourself clearly. Most of us are able to do this. It does not require a person of great, "intimidating" spiritual mastery to accomplish this. Oh, and by the way, I could care less how sexually intimidating people find you. Why don't the rest of us mere mortals return to talking about the essence of this list: Patty Griffin. Just a thought... -Cristina ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 08:14:13 -0600 From: "James P" Subject: MM: Re: what I said.... James Johnson, is that you?

But let me guess, Sean and I must be coming from our "egos" if we don't agree with your misunderstood and "intimidating" spiritual mastery. Well, maybe we mere mortals should return to talking about the essence of this list: Patty Griffin. -Cristina - -----Original Message----- From: mike smith To: mad-mission@smoe.org Date: Tuesday, February 09, 1999 1:43 AM Subject: MM: what I said.... >I don't blame those that hate me because I am able to express myself >clearly.

Living With Ghosts (which I've owned since '96) is raw and revealing - few artists can carry practical acappella so gracefully; I loved that album from the very first playing. The fuller sound on F.R. only further contests to Griffin's incredible talent as a song writer; the instrumentation on "Mary" alone is indisputable proof. I am moved to the point of tears and goose-bumps every time I hear that song, and was curious to know if anyone else is touched as deeply by it? I also get that feeling when I listen to "Not Alone." I'm interested to hear what people's favorite Patty Griffin songs are, and why exactly. Instead of criticizing other people's spelling and self-images, and disputing the talent of non-Pattys, I'd love to spend some time appreciating Griffin with anyone who'd care to do the same. If you're game, I'd like to hear your personal thoughts on which of Griffin's song reach you the deepest.

The atmosphere of the two songs, combined with the lyrics, and the vocals, which are PERFECT-just creates this ambiance, those two songs move me to tears.

Pease" Subject: MM: Re: "Mary" and other beauties In terms of songs that I find the most "touching", I'd have to say Mary or Sweet Lorraine are the two I think have the most impact on me... I can't say as I've ever been moved to tears, but I do think they're very moving songs. I was sold on Sweet Lorraine the first time I heard that line towards the end - "In the battle of time and the battle of will, it's only your hope and your heart that gets killed, and it gets harder and harder Lorraine to believe in magic, when what came before you is so very tragic..." The rest of the song could be done by the spice girls, and I'd still love it because of that line. :) I think Mary has such an effect not just because of the lyrics, but because of the texture of the song, too... the whole song is just beautiful.
