...could she have known who played Dynasty's Alexis Carrington Colby? Or had time to care? Till she was 14, Jewel Kilcher grew up in an unelectrified log cabin on an 800-acre homestead near Homer, Alaska. Her father Atz Kilcher was a folk singer, the son of a Swiss immigrant to Alaska who helped write the state charter (Grandpa Kilcher still tools around occasionally in his horse and buggy in Homer, scaring the residents). Her mother Nedra Carroll also sang and dabbled in other crafts. When Jewel was eight, her parents divorced, and her mother left for Anchorage. Jewel...
...MUSIC: "Summer 1997 seems like a good moment for Blues Traveler," says TIME's Christopher John Farley. "Grunge is gone, alternative is stale, and so the band?s harmonica-happy pop-blues may be just what audiences want. Alas, 'Straight On Till Morning,' the band's follow-up to the 6-million-selling 'Four,' is an aggressively mediocre album.

They're actually brilliant, ambitious, ironic folks who live at home till they're 30 and watch as much TV as they can!" I hope I'm not going to be redefined next issue. ROB GLASER Chicago
...gonzo take on NBK's evolution offers an insider's view of show-biz egos. Among the choice bits: details about Stone's stoned-out mushroom trip in the desert and Tarantino's close connection with Miramax, the company that released his hits Pulp Fiction and From Dusk till Dawn. Writes Hamsher: "Quentin had been running his mouth off for months, telling people that he made all the decisions at Miramax, and that when he snapped his fingers, HARVEY WEINSTEIN jumped." A spokesperson for Tarantino says he has read some of the book, and many of the anecdotes are inaccurate...
