I think the demo is horrid; especially her shrill, abrubt voice: "She consults her book."
However, I like the Tango version. Why? It's such an unusual song...and as direct as Stevie will ever be about her stint in rehab. It's hers and hers alone - no one else would or could write a song like that! I totally get the "island feel" as Lindsey described it in 1987.
And her response to her greeting Betty Ford is classic Stevie:
Rehab counselor: "Welcome to the room, Sara"
Stevie: "Welcome to the choir, Sir" (a sly reference to her professional status)
Plus, there's her reference to Front Line Management, the company she battled with, and apparently felt imprisoned by..."Front line baby, well you held her prisoner..."
