Even the extensive interviews she did with MTV in 1987 were classic Stevie with no visible impairment at all. 2 years later she had the klonopin stare and seemed distant and uninterested. Like any drug she kept upping her dose over the years.

Yes...that’s how I remembered it. On the 1987 tour she was fine.....saw a slow decline on the OSOTM tour and BTM tour. When I met her after a Street Angel show she was out of it....but she sure sounded good that night.
