[al baby]

it was her birthday last nite she must have blown a gasket shes 30

[Mr. Jeeves]

She told everyone to stop looking at her teeth and look at her breasts.

Already standard operating procedure for male Jewel fans - no need for the verbal reminder.

[HenryLeeII]

My theory is that she's practising for her next career: Professional Yoko Ono impersonator. What else could explain the yodeling for an encore?

[oyez]

"They basically told me that sometimes she does a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor during her shows,"

She was too sophisticated for that particular audience.

>Who is Jewel?

People pay money
to read her poems. Poetry.
Always a bad sign . . .

I hung out once in the bathroom of Trade Winds Harley bar in Anchorage With several biker chicks for company until the cops had left. They had pale skin and thick black eye makeup And they asked me to sing at their weddings. I said I'd ask my dad. We all sat on the counter and waited for the pigs to leave. Some guy OD'd and was outside foaming at the mouth. I remember looking in the mirror And seeing this white face, My shirt all buttoned up. The women were nice to me And looked like dark angels Beside me. I liked them, And together we waited Patiently for the cops to leave So I could go back out And join my dad up On stage.

That's all I would've been doing - had I even been caught dead at the show.

If I had to see Jewel in concert, I'd rather listen to the yodeling, and if she had to come back for an "encore," then she could sing part of one song.

First of all, Kent, I am sorry that you are trapped behind the "McDermott curtain"....

Looks like Jewell had a few herbs between sets....

[Tacis]

More proof that, unless you have the Secret Service and the ultra-left wing press corps to cover for you, you shouldn't mix drugs and booze.

[Straight Vermonter]

That is funny if true. Springsteen had a similar meltdown at a concert when he turned 30.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

What, she ditched her material and did Stones and Who covers?

The Jewel concert set you'll never, ever live to see:

1.) "Lord of the Thighs"

2.) "Iron Man"

3.) "Black Dog"

4.) "Crosstown Traffic"

5.) "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker"

6.) "God Save the Queen"

7.) "The album-length version of "Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida" :)

...the worst Jewel concert ever.

You mean there's a "best" Jewel concert?

[Straight Vermonter]

My wife, who is a poet, agrees with you.

[Rastus]

With several biker chicks for company until the cops had left.
They had pale skin and thick black eye makeup

Why did the cops have black eye makeup?

[varina davis]

Maybe she and cowboy rodeo star Ty Murray are having problems again?

[BraveMan]

Wow! With a link to facilitate purchase, no less; how ever ahem, thoughtful! Ummm, thanks . . .

[Dont Mention the War]

"Hey... waaaaaiiiiiit a minute here, Marge! That ain't Jewel up on stage, there... it's Don Rickles, in a DRESS -- !" :)

"You guys aren't KISS!"

[CatoRenasci]

IMHO, anyone who goes to a Jewel concert deserves whatever they get. I remember the mercifully brief phase during which one of my daughters liked Jewel (to the derisive laugter of her older sister).... shudder.....

[RightWhale]

Who is Jewel?

One of Alaska's own. Surprising she has a voice left the way she has abused it.
