A little random tidbit, but I was watching Alaska: The Last Frontier tonight, first time in quite a while that I have since it airs the same time as Walking Dead, and after the regular showing there was a sorta Christmas special where everyone exchanged Secret Santa gifts. Throughout the whole episode there are bits of trivia displayed at the bottom, kinda like Pop-Up Video. When it got to Jane's gift to Atz Lee she decides to write a song for him. The bit of trivia that showed up? A woman named Mary Epperson taught her music when she was young.

I did some searching and found these tweets that I had forgotten:

1st of all, Adrian is a short story i made up, so its fiction RT @JackHPowell: @jeweljk who Mary Epperson is? from ur song 'Adrian'

This is very neat, good detective work.

I enjoy Alaska the Last Frontier, show. Following Atz Lee & Jane through the accident ordeal.

Listening to the show at the Intersection in Michigan back in '96, and Jewel changed the lyrics to I'm Sensitive ... it's adorable.

However, she says something about giving food to everyone who lives in a .... hot dog ....

and you can hear someone in the audience say, "what?"

Also - she says Java Joe of Java Joe's is the one who fired her for not sleeping with him!

Glad it wasn't Javo Jay's or something like that...

Really? Was that in addition to her boss at a computer warehouse?

Apparently that version of the ol' story was popular enough to be a requested ad-lib at the show.

Kinda makes you wonder if it was both, or only one, or what? Kinda perplexing considering what a common story it's become now.

If it was Java Joe, why on Earth would she play there? I sure as fuck wouldn't have shit to do with a guy like that, let alone make him more money. Weird.

I think she was confused... or she just said it at the time because it was a good story, no matter which boss it was. I find it hard to believe it would happen twice to her - if it did I'm sure we would have heard the Java Joe story more than just this one time!

I worked at a movie theater where I was repeatedly sexually harrassed by the manager, because I needed the job. I did finally leave, but not before I had enough for my latest mortgage payment. Sexism in the work place is rampant.

Jewel responded to one of Amanda Palmer's (goddess!!!) tweets. OMG, if they did a song together, it would probably be the greatest thing ever committed to record.

If you want to hear a darker Jewel, that would be a guaranteed delicious abyss.

Just heard a little of Jewel's Hands on Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me in reference to Trump!

Did anyone hear Trisha Yearwood sing Hands on The Passion Live? I missed it but the song is available for purchase. Soooooooooo good! Fell in love with it all over again.

Jessica · « **Reply #111 on:** March 21, 2016, 07:07:23 AM »

I saw a tweet about it but I haven't heard it yet!

What's The Passion Live? I've never heard of that.

Nobody · « **Reply #112 on:** March 21, 2016, 07:26:07 AM »

I saw about 5 minutes of the Passion. It came on after Nascar....around 8pm EST. I couldn't sit through it. It was supposed to be, the story of Jesus as told through popular music.

Jessica · « **Reply #113 on:** March 21, 2016, 08:53:22 AM »

Yearwood's performance of Hands starts at about 26:50 in this link: http://www.fox.com/watch/648874051995/7813905408

EDIT: meh.

This started in the netherlands and after years of big succes, even a lot of people who are not christian or anything, the concept flew over to other country's. Over here 1 at 10 people at least is watching it

Aw, shucks, Jess! Thanks

And it's your tabs that she's using!!! I wanted to be sure that was noted because you're amazing for all the tabs you have contributed to the wiki!

I only recently re-installed Twitter on my phone to request Without You By My Side. If I hadn't, I would have missed the notification! Been really busy transitioning the wiki to mediawiki. Can't believe how time consuming it is! And how big the wiki's gotten!

We're all so proud of you, Robby. You've got the best Jewel site on the internet by a mile - even Jewel herself thinks so!!

A completely unsolicited Tweet from the mighty Jewel herself - how awesome! I can only think of MrBB who can also claim that honor - that's some pretty amazing company you keep on that short list.
