This is kind of stupid news but its so ridiculous i had to post it......and of all people involved - jewel - hahaha

According to MTV News, Nickelodeon will soon be launching a new cartoon in the Fall called 'Punk Rock Angel Girl' with none other than Jewel doing the voice of the main character. Jewel explains,

Punk Rock Angel Girl, or PRAG, she's just a teenager. She's a punk rocker, but what I call punk rock is getting angry with a cause. A lot of the show is about anger as a transformational, useful tool. There's a difference between pent-up aggression that's randomly expressed — that's just confrontational with no thought behind it — versus positive anger, thinking for yourself and making tough decisions.

Not only does Jewel provide the voice for "PRAG," she also came up with the idea, wrote the first episode, and drew her character. Jewel describes the first episode,

PRAG discovers that a big, faceless corporation called Megacorp is trying to brainwash the youth of America to buy things that nobody would ever need. Megacorp's minions are disguised as celebrities — but underneath, they're actually robots, and if revealed as such, they attack.

Her heart is so open, so full of love and tenderness, it just makes you wanna go up and give her a great big hug and squeeze and caress right over that big, tender...heart.

I can't figure out why I've always liked her actual music, though. Cuz it's a wee bit...well a lot...sappy.

By "like," I mean, "don't have the urge to kill when it comes on the radio."

She is very good at constructing folk-pop songs, even if her lyrics are chuckle-inducing.

I thnk maybe it's because she genuinely means all her hippy-lite noodlings and I find that kind of endearing.

She was on Conan a few weeks ago and the new song she played wasn't awful but I'm not running out to buy it either.
