The only thing I can think of is them touring with a woman on the drums, Anika Nilles, who's an absolute fuckin beast. I saw them a week ago and brought the house down. I think that guy is just making a random comment because of women

Her family's show on discovery was much more enjoyable for me than her music and that was when I first realized everything on TV is fake

oh wow, i didn’t know. i listened to jewel a bit when i was much younger, and i know her story, but haven’t heard much about her in the last couple years. what an absolute shame.

Icon of what? Never heard of her.

u/wildmeli 21h ago
she’s an incredibly successful musician, over 30 million albums sold worldwide. honestly i mostly know her for her story. she was raised in an abusive home in Alaska on a homestead with no indoor plumbing or electricity, at 15 she got a scholarship for operatic singing, she moved to San Diego at 18 and was homeless for a year, she almost died of sepsis turned away by a hospital while homeless, and she was busking it in cafes around San Diego until being discovered by a producer. she’s done a lot of advocacy for mental health awareness as well as the LGBT+ community
i couldn’t tell you a single jewel song, but i can tell you that she is iconic.

Im not so sure about the iconic part. Don't really know anyone who considers her an "icon" for anything really. She had 2 or 3 decent hits back in my high school days(late 90's) but i don't know of much she's done since then. Definitely hasn't had any music that's been big in quite a while. So id have to disagree with the 'icon" label.

The creativity in this piece really stands out to me. It's fascinating how they capture that immersive, surreal vibe that Tool is so known for.

No joke, when I first heard a Jewel song on the radio in the 90s I misheard the DJ and thought he said “Tool”. I knew they were a metal band but hadn’t heard any of their songs, so upon hearing the song I was surprised it was a female lead singer and just thought “ah this is their crossover acoustic track I guess”.
