Good Bye Alice

I saw Jewel live in Minneapolis over the weekend, and I have to admit I was quite impressed. I've always liked her music, but I've never been a real fan until now. Her performance was one of the best I've seen and she sounds even better live than on her CD. She's up near the top of my list of [living] singer/songwriters now, though still behind Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco ;-)

The only downside was that she shared billing with Rob Thomas and so her set was rather short. When he started doing Eminem gestures and "raising the roof" while performing "Something to Be" the irony was just too much to handle, so we left.
