15: A radio version of her hit “Foolish Games” titled “You Were Meant For Me” finished #2 on Billboard's year-end Hot 100. (But the only one who hears us is some nutcase in a trenchcoat and a maskthat keep changing shapes. He looks down and whispers, "NO.") Who is Jewel?
Life IS pain, Princess. Anyone telling you differently is selling something.
