Julie McCarthy: Jewels Says

Jewels says she's always been a bit strange, and talks about the self imposed pressure to make up for wasted opportunities and potential. If Ethel Merman can put out a disco album at age 71, maybe Jewels Sings wasn't such a ridiculous idea after all.

Plus I talk more than I should have in this episode, but... I'm a chatter, what can I say?

Jewels says she might be a bit of a hoarder when it comes to certain things, and even though haute couture is out of the question for most of us, we could all probably afford better quality if we bought less stuff.

But don’t underestimate the value of costume worthy clothing.

Jewels chats today with two lovely young men, Caden and Landon, about their social media business, theatre, dating apps, girlfriends, marriage... these guys are thoughtful, ambitious, busy... a far cry from the basement dwelling trolls and incels we hear about all too often.

Jewels says she really enjoys engaging with such bright young people and they're everywhere.

Jewels says she might need to start burying her head in the sand to save her sanity from the relentless onslaught of dire news and social media posts, and mentions a couple of modern feminist heroes plus some suggestions to curtail violence that will never fly.

Jewels says live performances are worth supporting, whether they're music, dance, comedy or theatre and if more of us attended early shows, more shows would be available and we could all get to bed at a reasonable hour.

Yes, she's definitely getting old. Too old to accomplish anything heroic or start a night out after 9:00 pm.

Jewels says marriage should not be an aspirational goal, you don’t need a wedding to wear a dress and have a party if that’s really the point and there are a lot of good reasons to think long and hard before legally binding yourself to a partner. And a lot of stupid non-reasons that motivate some of us to do it anyway.

Plus the romantic story of her parents’ wedding day.
