Jewel of the Bile
After paying $40 a ticket, fans walked out of Jewel's recent performance at the Hampton Beach Ballroom Casino, the Portsmouth Herald reports. Despite being in a casino, the singer-songwriter told the crowd that "drinkers and smokers are sinners" during her one-hour show.
This was enough time for 4 or 5 songs and no shortage of ranting. After asking for requests from the audience, she replied with, "shut the hell up." Jewel also spoke for 10 minutes about Paxil and Zoloft. One fan told the newspaper, "As soon as she came out, she began to insult us," and "I don’t know if she was having a nervous breakdown or what. She told everyone to stop looking at her teeth and look at her breasts."
