I can attest to Jewel's poesy. She once told me without a hint of irony that she was the biggest poet in America. Sadly, as well as being decidedly unashamed of her rank atop the mountain, she was also telling the truth. She also confided to me her many similarities to Mother Teresa, repeatedly, continuing to do so until I informed her that in my opinion Mother Teresa was probably a necrophiliac. She asked me what that was, and I replied, "a person who likes to fuck dead people, Jewel." Our friendship didn't last long after that, I'm very sorry to say.
