How I met Jewel

I once worked as a Runner for Polaris Amphitheatre (now called Germaine Amphitheatre). My job involved transporting people to and from the amphitheatre, among many other tasks.

During the Neil Young show in the summer of 1997, one of my jobs was to pick up Jewel, her mother, and her manager from the Sheraton and take her to the amphitheatre as quickly and smoothly as possible. I knew the best routes to and from to avoid traffic, and I was using my own personal vehicle, a 1994 Chrysler-Dodge Caravan, so I felt comfortable driving.

Anyway, I’ve already told my story about how I met Jewel in my blog and on 43 Things. So, you’re welcome to read the story in either source.

I just love...

Jewel. She always, since I was 15, has cheered me up to listen to when I am down or helps me understand my feelings and express them in my writings. I don’t think all her songs are meant to be happy, just like people’s moods, so I let them do what the will to me, for each moment.

Everyone needs

someone who or something that inspires and lifts. I’m glad that you found that in Jewel. Her lyrics are very personal and out front, and I like them a lot. She’s an important artist from our generation, and maybe someday you will get to meet her too?

Sorry that it took me so long to reply to this, but I never noticed that there was a comment next to this goal. I wonder if there is a way that I could be notified when someone leaves a comment?

So, now I’m interested in your writing. Do you write everyday?
