Add to the fact, (Re: flavor flav comment). It sounds like Stevie is holding her nose or has a nose plug on her nose in the intro. How did anyone not hear how horrible that sounds?

I love that intro. It’s so weird. It simulates an isolation chamber, which reinforces the angst of the opening lines of the lyric. She sounds trapped in that space—and that’s part of the point.

I can see why someone would hate the opening of the song, but I think that discomfort or resistance is part of the experience of the lyric.

When I first heard it, I laughed out loud. It was so absurd and disturbing and smart at the same time.

It still is to me. I feel like it's a joke. I played it for someone that doesn't care about her or FM and they laughed too. "WTF is that??!!!" I believe was the quote.
I guess it's foreshadowing what her regular voice sounds like now. So there was that.

Well, I give you that: she really does sound this way ALL THE TIME these days.

I always thought it was meant to sound like she was on the telephone.

It's possible. The effect is the same: one of disconnection and loneliness. I really like the opening to the song.

All of Stevie's best songs seem to be about several things at once. This sounds like a love on the road that was tried to be kept secret. I cant remember where I read possibly it was Billy Burnette? I have no source on that just something that I heard that could be completely not true.
What I do appreciate about this song is the first line. Could it be one of her few songs that touches on her klonopin addiction while on tour?
We see no change in sight
watching her decline
She gets on a midnight plane
She's done it a thousand times
