2008-04-24 17:58:50 More from the Borders concert:

I remembered a few more details. Jewel talked about her experiences being homeless. She said that she was working at a computer warehouse answering phones when her boss came on to her. She told him no, and the next day when she went in to get her check, her boss would not give it to her. Her landlord evicted her as she had missed payments before and she lived over a year on the streets. Her car was stolen (that she lived in), and she ended up replacing it with her famous vw van.

Stronger woman was written for a friend's daughter who's had some relationship problems. I do was described as an "honest song."

2008-04-24 17:54:39 Jewel at Borders in Ann Arbor:

I just got back from the free concert downtown Ann Arbor where Jewel performed at the first Borders store. I arrived at 2:30 p.m. for a 4:00 p.m. show and all seats were taken. I managed to grab a coffee and sit on the floor where I could still see the stage. By for 4:20 p.m., Jewel was performing with a packed room. The whole top floor of the building was full of people. The show was recorded, although I don't know what they will do with the footage.

This might not be a complete setlist as I forgot paper. (there might be one more song)

Hands
Stronger Woman (current single)
I do (awesome song! maybe next single)
Rosy and Mick
Who Will Save Your Soul

Jewel did a brief Q and A between Rosy and Mick and WWSYS. One person asked her if she had "faith". She responsed of course and explained her faith in context of the struggles she faced while homeless and what that experience taught her.

Another guy asked her if she had any advice for women dealing with society. She said that there is discriminiation of all types all over the world and that she doesn't feel she can preach, but she's glad that some people have found comfort in her music. She also asked if he wanted to know the answer for a family member and he said it was a general question as women face difficult challenges in society.

She told a story about Bob Dylan. Most people have heard the WWSYS story where Bob asked to meet her backstage. I guess she had a dream when she was 16 about opening for Bob and he came on to her in the dream. She was worried about meeting him because of her dream. She said he was a gentlemen and made a joke about him being gay since he didn't hit on her. She then said "I should be struck by lightening for even saying that." A dj said something recently on the radio, she said, that men have two moods.. hungry and horney. She also said that women get offended when men do or do not hit on them.

Jewel is with a new label and she seemed to avoid talking about Atlantic for the most part.

She talked about how much she likes Ann Arbor. She mentioned her first song was Who Will Save Your Soul that she wrote while hitch hiking (and riding trains) to mexico during break from interlocken. She made a joke about sounding like kermit the frog on the album version and did an imiation of herself playing it. It was rather amusing. She said she was laughing all the way to the bank.

The songs were great. The last concert I saw was in Clio, MI several years ago. Her voice wasn't that good at the time. She got it back in a big way. It was amazing to see her in a smaller venue like that. It is the first time I've had that opportunity. She was wearing a green dress. She talked about Ty a bit. Said they were camping in the mountains during 9/11 and they came out on 9/13 and noticed the flags and signs but didn't know what happened right away. They heard a dj talk about it and then play Hands on the radio.
