 peta2 // Out There // Missy Higgins' Good Reason to Go Veg
Australian singer-songwriter Missy Higgins landed in our latest vegetarian ad thanks to her primary-school teacher's lesson to be kind to animals.
Missy took her teacher's advice to heart—so much so that she agreed to share the peta2 spotlight (and her lap) with a little guy named Jake.
And Jake, being the perceptive little guy that he is, developed such a bond with Missy (and she with him) that we actually felt cruel when it came time to call it a day and bring Jake to the animal sanctuary.

 Missy Higgins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
As an artist, Higgins is mature beyond her years, with perceptions that go beyond forlorn scribbling found in a diary; she definitely has an "old soul." Writing since her teens, she's already found a voice in songs that are mostly confessionals, filled with achy regret and the resolve to move on.
Unlike McLachlan, who took years to come out of her shell, Higgins already is a bold singer, even unleashing cathartic shouts during several numbers.
At this point Higgins is probably best heard in a small club, and this venue might have been a bit large for her.
